This was the original version I recorded before I completely overhauled it (see version on "It takes a village album ). I wasnt crazy about it but hell I put time into it and completed it so why not post it up.

The core of the music is heavily inspired by Joni Mitchell. Its been spinning around for years in my head so hearing this song finally recorded feels good.
Oh yeah! :)
You were made to do this stuff... Now you gotta figure out how to incorporate this into the original songwriting... (don't ask me how - I can't do it either!!! lol)
This is a bonus track of sorts for the mock EP It takes a village. I had the verse chord chages around for many years but just until last week the song and lyrics came together really quickly. I thought I heard a band arrangement originally but…

FYI, there is a glitch in the number of listens on this track. The other day 70+ listens popped up from in one day from another alonetoner. Has this happened to anyone else? Strange.
Finally getting some time to work out a few ideas I have been exploring. Heading into the mountains for while....I will add more soon with a clear mind.
Here's my last studio effort of the summer, as we roll into fall!
I wrote this one earlier in the year sipping mojito's at the proverbial beach bar and then posted it here.... I thought I'd give it a little sprucing up with the help from my…

A simple 12-bar in 6/8 time. I almost like it.
The guitars are all Les Paul.

It's time to start anew
From the top this time
don't think we can make it
Don't see there's much chance
Round and round and round we…

Just back from a lovely two week holiday in Cornwall and Gene sent me the finished version while i was away....another excellent backer by gene ...hope you enjoy our take on a Stevie wonder classic ......
This one is still a bit rough, but I wanted to share and see if anyone has an interest in adding some guitars, bass, other vocal parts for fun. I left the chords in the lyrics below, in case you wanted to collaborate. I hope you enjoy it…
This one is dedicated to my dear friend John. Thanks for changing my life for the better....
Also a big thanks to our own Greg Connor who helped me get the chords for my own uke accompaniment, and who kindly played the beautiful guitars…
Here is a *MOJITO* Fueled version of "TV Dinner" that we recorded last Monday night in my Basement.

Pack a bag and head out west
Change of clothes and leave the rest
Northern skin needs a little sun
Sunshine can cure anyone
Slow it down to a steady pace
Forget about the human race
All I need is what’s inside
Take the rest and let it…
Just a taste of the ongoing project - a sweet little song about finding love later in life. Ultimately, Jessica will be singing the first verse, I'll keep the second, and she'll be harmonizing with me the rest of the way. The whistling will…
Haven't been about for a while...been busy doing nothing but i had some time this morning to have a strum and this is what i came up with after a bit of pondering.....Thanks for listening

Okay, after a few tweaks, spaceship sounds, fuzz guitar and a better drum track I am happy now.
Maybe you have a stalker lol
Love your voice, that's a certainty!
