I think you wrote and produced it well, James. It’s got a beat for line dancing😊
If I may, I dedicate this song to a Republican Pres. Candidate.

James Michael Taylor played this last night at Hermann Sons to close out the night and left us all stunned. He told me he's never played this one in a jam before I told him...well it wasn't repeatable because we've all been missing a great song experience. Request it next time you see him.

WOW!! I love the rich musical textures and instrumentation in this song as well as the message. You create some of the most unusual songs I've heard to raise people's consciousness about the threats to our world, Jim.

why he looked nothing like his brothers...

After years of consideration, I am now ready to announce: "Best JMT Album!"
This is it... you are listening to it now... QUE PASO
Sure, there are other albums which are deserving... but this album gets the distinction because it is one solid JMT song after another. This album has a very good selection of songs on the playlist, and it has very good sound and voice quality to the recordings. And of course... this album has some of the best JMT lyrics he ever wrote!
For those of you who are asking, "Hey! Just who the hell are you to make such a declaration?!" My answer: Just ask Jimmy. Jimmy may not agree with my choice, but I believe he will confirm that he will damn sure consider my submission.

Not fooled by mocking birds & I’m not fooled by hope. Best line I have heard in awhile. Also I’m thinking to use as a hook in a song “the last time I said goodbye.”

You sure getting SOME deep bass out of whatever you are playing. I can see the snow blowing against the window. Your frozen breath as you sit in the frigid room. Fingers cut out in your gloves so you can feel the brittle keys.
First song of 2011 . . .

She has a disease
Never learned to please anyone
else other than herself
Fuck the world and give em hell
She's down on her knees
Swaying in the breeze and when she
leans that way I go along

Have you made an effort to be in touch with the film makers in your part of the world? Your state probably has a film comission. If you haven't already, I suggest you do and then begin to find about what is in the works in your state and offer to submit music to the college and independent film makers.
I had this tune in my head for years before I finally sat down and recorded a quick draft of it. I would like to record this with real instruments (acoustic guitar + electric lead guitar).
Anybody interested in helping me?
This is the new version!

Doin the Neil Young thing...cool...
Capo at second fret...Am.... I'm sitting here playing along with you.
Love your picking on this and the beautiful old song.
You sure getting SOME deep bass out of whatever you are playing. I can see the snow blowing against the window. Your frozen breath as you sit in the frigid room. Fingers cut out in your gloves so you can feel the brittle keys.
Very nice song. I like your voices.
Crossing Guns and Roses and The Beatles...great mix and harmonies. Like the elongated beat.
You rock too...
Rockin'...makes me want to boogie...
I think the world changed on that day. This is very evocative. This piece could be called Alone Tones. PS...where did the name AloneTone come from?
Rock on...j mt
What a great story.
Like this! Reminds me of Gene Pitney.
I can't imagine what your standards are topping out at if you apologize for this mix. This is beautiful.

If I can figure out how to download this track I will add rhythm guitars.

Kicks ass. Love it. Wish I could do stuff like this. Sooooo poppy!
A cello with this would be so nice...or a whole bed of strings to undergird that melody.
Very nice. So clear and clean. Nice voice too. I see you collaborate with other musicians. Feel free to ask me to do background vocals.
Very pretty. And sad.
