My cover of Gumbo Stu's (Stuart Walker) Blind In One Eye. Originally on his 2009 RPM Challenge Album, and available here on alonetone. Thanks Stu!

learning....forever learning to look beyond the circumstance, look beyond the pain, and maybe find peace through the pain.... in my valleys in my darkest hours when the water has risen so high there's no support to be found I'm battered…

I don't want to leave you I don't want to turn and walk the other way i don't want to leave you even though you've never heard my name and i rise from my grave as if the world was mine to save you were so cold and lonely your offer…

A lonely, slow, tune... with a forlorn and sometimes tense distorted guitar (actually my bass). Good music to listen to as you zone out and stare into space.

Rhythmic groove with bass and "guitars". In addition to the obvious bass track, the two distorted "guitar" tracks are actually also basses, EQ'ed and altered with various effects to sound less bassy and more guitary.

Melodic, peaceful, and trance-inducing instrumental. Used a synth clav as the underlying thematic instrument, then layered a few other things on top. The "guitar" counter-melody at the end is me playing a bass in the upper registers.

Slack key guitar and baritone ukulele. Hula version. Pauoa Liko Ka Lehua is about the beautiful flowers (Lehua) of Pauoa. The double entendre (kaona or hidden meaning) involves a girl with swaying hips.:)

Hula version. Slack key guitar with ukulele (Eleuke with high-octave G tuning) Ka Uluwehi O Ke Kai praises plants of the sea, the fragrance of the lipoa (a seaweed) and the limu kohu reef plant used for flavor in Hawaiian cooking.
