What can I say? well, thanks for the comments! It still amzes me that my solitary style (when the whole song is me myself and I) makes it over to you all. And that you "get" what I try to do in the arranging, that it's ok to emphasize the mood…

This recording has been through hell, pretty much like I was when I wrote this: It was recorded written and played by me, on a fostex four track. At the time even true love had let me down, and decided its dreams "for" me were more important than…
Makes me think of "13 floor elevators", this one has the spook. Thats a great vocal. I really like this. I need to spend some time listening to your tunes.

You live long enough... you take some real hits. And the only way to get on, is, to, "Pick myself up, walk down the long long road". Lifes real easy when it's all theoretical, but it's never been lived until the theories and philosophies are trashed…
I was dreaming one night, and this song came, it was part of what I was going through in the dream. I woke up with the emotion, the words, and the melody still going. Got out of bed (Like 4AM! ugh!) went down to the studio and recorded the melody…
My father refers to it as having a "radio" turn on late at night. The words, the melody, music just flow out and you cannot stop until it is finished. Great song ;)
We all live on one planet, and on this planet we ARE the indigenous peoples. The rest is just intellectual self petting if you know what I mean. When I'm feeling frustrated with the human race, I return to the roots. I read once in a novel on…

I'm including this, beacause I want to be able to say, and demonstrate, just what Steve Buzzell, my musical partner and collaborator means to several of the songs that are either here already, or will follow. This is all Steve. In all the songs…
This says so much with the music, can't wait to hear what lyrics you will come up with, the rest of your music has words that fit the instruments so well, each could stand alone, but together really take listener someplace.
This is probably to personal, to raw to put here, but I've been listening to some pretty courageous stuff here in alonetone. This is more of an occurence, a onetime performance, more of a memorial, than a recording. My dad had died recently, I…
Ok, everybody. I hope you can hang in there on this one. Yes it's longer. This is the fruit of Steve and my's first collaboration. He'd heard me do this at a party, got in touch with me, and said, "I'd like to collaborate on this, if you're okay…
Well, hot summer night. Beautiful woman dancing in the moonlight, (the goddesses knew what they were doing, a man doesn't stand a chance against this), knees going weak.... hearts' pounding...head spinning = new song. (Love was already there…
What I love about this and your music generally is from the first note, I am drawn into a world, the words seem to come naturally from the feeling, the music, the instruments. Like the heart had strings and a voice.

Whoaa... that tambourine in the beginning.... comes sweeping shuddering in. Then dances through the room (Had you on the "big" stereo) while wild things mutter howl and roar from down the caves of time.
The flute on this piece is done by a very gifted flute player by the name of Melinda Eckels. You will hear Melinda on any of the songs where I use flute. Her abilities have spoiled me so, that I can never use keyboard or my limited flute skills…
I do three things after waking up these days: I shower. I make coffee. I play this song and drink my coffee.
Nothing complicated. Nothing fancy. Just some basic fingerpicking to test my motor skills and bring some aural sunshine into my day.
The first version.
This is the first and only song I wrote on [arrsuarez](http://alonetone.com/arrsuarez)'s Christmas gift to me, a mbira that he lovingly crafted by hand.
Several years ago I had a short lived duo with an oboe and English horn player named Nat. This is a demo from that period. It's an old old chord progression of mine that never really had a melody and Nat improvised this melody in the studio to…

I stumbled here from another artists' site. Suddenly I feel blind. You see hear and feel things new to me, or at least in a new way. Make me world fresh. Think I'll go for a long walk in the night, listen with the new ears you've given me.
Time never ends.... but we do.... ah there is the rub, for those of us who've tasted mortality, and the knowledge that all the dues eventually get paid , get called in.
Anything that has the title, "Desert Sunset", has me right away. I miss them deeply. The music delivers what the title suggests. I will be returning to listen, repeadtedly. On, the song you commented on "This Strange Parade", you were right, it was over 40mbs, perhaps that's why the music was cut off at the end, and the chorus just goes for a stroll naked, so to speak- it was just cut at 40mb's. Thanks for your knid comments by the way. Dan Gipson
Hey, OSCKILO! You were Johnny on th espot on This Strange Parade! I hadn't even finished saying how unfinished it was. Thanks for the comments, on it and all the others. Now, as to this song. Just what I needed to help me get through this world when all I want to do is play. It's beautiful. Thanks
A little something I recorded on a Zoom H4n, acoustic was recorded from built in condensors, strat was recorded plugged into bottom jack using only onboard effects, mixed in Reaper and mastered in Soundforge.
just goes to show: it ain't the equipment, it's the artist. you came through in this, probably could come through with an old cigar box with a stick through it, and four strings. You made this dance.
I've ben away from most of ya, and I'm sorry for that. Thing's have slowed down, and I can't wait
to hear everyone's new music, to try and be an artist, a full time employee and ect....it can be
awfully frustrating. I can't wait to listen and…

You've got a real hypnotic style. This is a great song.
I say well done.
Makes me think of "13 floor elevators", this one has the spook. Thats a great vocal. I really like this. I need to spend some time listening to your tunes.
Deadly sound here. Lo-Fi majesty. Hell of a song I say.
What a great opening, I'm hooked right in. Great song, very atmospheric.
My father refers to it as having a "radio" turn on late at night. The words, the melody, music just flow out and you cannot stop until it is finished. Great song ;)
very nice......being in the southwest i understand this concept very well
The raw sounding recording just suits the tune. Great stuff man!
When you can't figure why you want to paint that full moon blue, listen to this and let those standin' still blues move you. Love this!
*goes to Jango* Good luck with it!
Nice one man!
This says so much with the music, can't wait to hear what lyrics you will come up with, the rest of your music has words that fit the instruments so well, each could stand alone, but together really take listener someplace.
From the first call of that wild haunting beginning phrase, you know this is going to be something special, and it does not disappoint.
Sorry I took so long to listen to this one, with the storms moving in, wish I had a Moon Cloud of my own.
What I love about this and your music generally is from the first note, I am drawn into a world, the words seem to come naturally from the feeling, the music, the instruments. Like the heart had strings and a voice.
No way was that 4 minutes.... It Just Flew by..... Something Special about this...
You have tapped into something deep on this track.... It is more than music.....
I love the soul of this!
ABS/PVC instruments, FN great man. Really cool and creative.
Whoaa... that tambourine in the beginning.... comes sweeping shuddering in. Then dances through the room (Had you on the "big" stereo) while wild things mutter howl and roar from down the caves of time.

Nice! Love the harmonizing effect of the vocals/guitar. little bit 'o sonic beauty
How can one not like this? Little bit of enchantment.
Great song, lyrics, vocals. Thanks!
ohhh... and then you start layin' down the law with that guitar! Michaelangelo paintin' that finger comin' down from the sistine chapel of our sky
ohhh yeahhhhhh....
very nice. A pleasure to experience.
aural sunshine and coffee are essential to any day!
wonderful mood! Hey! how'd you get that pic in there? be fun to do some times.
Thought I'd stop by and pick a favorite... I listened to them all... guess that says something. Nice, Thank you
Time out for danno, (that's me) soothe the soul. Thanks Kirk
Thank you all for your comments. Closest to the heart. Dan
I like this this. Tension in the music fits the lyrics like a glove.
Love the guitar, and vox! Hello Dover!
Dweeb! This is too much fun! The ultimate travelogue.

I feel this one, thank god we can write it out, eh? Like what you're doing here. It speaks for you.
