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.

Here 's a new one from the Kite boys. It's not been floating around too long, it's been quite a quick one from the moment that Tim dropped a little gem into our in boxes.

This is a little ditty I did for a local songwriting group I'm in. The prompt was "No instruments" and a previous prompt was "One chord only", so I combined the two.
The haikus were written for a creativity group I'm in, so I used them for…

Less chaotic 'Chaos' after I found a melody I was happy with, and the delay button :)

We woke Elvis up for this little beauty for the 70's fest over on Songcrafters …the piano is a bit dodgy but then again Jango isn't known for his piano playing….a song from Jim's back Catalogue back in February 1970 from the Morrison Hotel album…

Dynamics of your vocals shine thru on these stripped down songs. Nice harp playin....Dylanesque.
Tbe vid is sweet. Love the floating bee. Very cool.
Killed it! Backing vocals always make me smile and harmonized guitar lines with bite are so damn sweet. Touchdown!
Oh yeah....good ole rock n roll from Highway 61
Ah yes.....this could be used in a movie...quite inventive and imaginative.
Wild......from a phone.
Hearing some different genres overlapping musically. Nice introspective lyrically.
Hey, very very cool.
Some vintage country western. A rarity nowadays. Enjoyed it very much.
Vicious guitar in that left channel.
I think I have one of these fanagled macho chihuahua. Tasty slide playin...enjoyed this ;)
Pro grade stuff. Very good track.
Interesting collage of vocal types coming together.
Thanks for sharing. This is a walk on the shore nd enjoying life.
Dig it. Has a Tull feel.
Magical...love this. Nice delay effect and that electric has a nice open sound.
Dreamy and enchanting. A staple of LJ ;)
Well put together. Good musicianship with some hints from the 80's.
Nice take. Poor me cold one Sammy!
Another good performance. Man and guitar.
