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…
Simple little song. My view on how love really falls apart. Last verse is in my opinion an add-on. I wrote it after the rest, at the behest of someone who thought it was too "un-hopeful". It may have been a goood thing.

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…
Pretty impressive track considering it was recorded on a four track. It brought back memories from the late 60's and early 70's when my bandmates and I recorded on a reel to reel. Sometimes in the midst of these digital advances, I miss those days.
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…
This is just the beginning on this song. We haven't put the bridge in yet, it was a jam between Steve and I (Steve played that awesome Sax track, and about three guitar parts, organ..)It was just too much fun, but still... undone.
everything on this has a light floating quality as if it's hovering just above the ground...love the sax...and your vocal builds in the best way. A Great recording!

"Simple little song?" Simply tasty. Easy swingin' with words that sink pretty deep. Vocals. Well, I've listened to several here - it's as if David Bowie, Lou Reed, Jim Morrison and Mark Knopfler could do all this. which I guess means, they couldn't you can. You just make your songs so intimate to the heart. I'll be listening

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…

Well, the truth is I run a little hot. I think maybe all artists do. Creative fire is creative fire. Sorry about the vocals here, this is the scratch track, didn't have time to lay down the real thing before the clock struck twelve and I turned…
I don't think there is anything wrong with the vocals on this one, spot on I would say. I love your voice. It's a combination of Tom Waits and David Bowie - and what feels like years spent paying your dues. I'm a fan.

Thanks for all the great comments. Any of my stuff you want to sing on, you go right ahead. I do live in Oregon, moved here in 2004 to retire and play music. It's been wonderful.

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…
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…
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…

Great tune , good work.
Excellent tune. I'm diggin' this "Simple little song".
Steve is a very talented guy! This is Beautiful!
Pretty impressive track considering it was recorded on a four track. It brought back memories from the late 60's and early 70's when my bandmates and I recorded on a reel to reel. Sometimes in the midst of these digital advances, I miss those days.
Your music has a real earthy yet urban cowboy vibe... this one has got a wicked groove...I dig.
everything on this has a light floating quality as if it's hovering just above the ground...love the sax...and your vocal builds in the best way. A Great recording!

instant.. very catchy, great subtle vocals
I can't wait to see what happens you've "finished" it!
super awesome!!
Soulful vocals and the sax is awesome! Love it! Did you know that there's about 3 minutes or so of dead space at the end of the mp3?
stunningly powerful.
love the vibe. very velvet u . but really nice in its own way. well done.
I don't think there is anything wrong with the vocals on this one, spot on I would say. I love your voice. It's a combination of Tom Waits and David Bowie - and what feels like years spent paying your dues. I'm a fan.
This is a marvelous soundscape - intense, raw, yet somehow soothing. Brilliant work!!
Thanks for all the great comments. Any of my stuff you want to sing on, you go right ahead. I do live in Oregon, moved here in 2004 to retire and play music. It's been wonderful.
Great Tune.
Thanks for sharing this.
I like your attitude man. Rules for writing?? That's a scary thought indeed.
Cool! Like that repeating guitar riff a lot

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.
