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.
Now that my album Texas Tonefreak is almost "out of print", I'll be posting the tracks up here.
Kip Siewert on harmonica
Philip Waite on drums

Finally, at last... I've got something finished...
Been working on this for a few weeks.
A bit of a rocker... (and an aging lecherous one at that)
I got it as close as I could and then mixed it loud... I've over-cooked it slightly - but…
Originally by Freddie King, I did the John Mayall (Eric Clapton) version since the March 2014 issue of Guitar World mag has a good transcription of it. Looking back now I wish my lead tone wouldn't have been quite so harsh in places.
Just an instrumental I came up with on the 7-string. Wanted to try a few harmonized licks. Guitars and bass are me but the drums aren't (as with all my stuff).
I did this as a way to practice singing....why I am trying to learn to sing at 64 is a little strange.... I wish I had leaned to sing when I was starting out..but I always played in band with lots of singers and never had to sing much…
Some time ago whilst YouTubing, I stumbled across several videos of old seafaring songs or sea "shanties". Unbelievably, that triggered some very ancient RAM of elementary school music classes wherein we were taught several of these songs. And…

She put a message up on Facebook
She'd wrecked her car and couldn't get to work
I watched to see if any of her friends would volunteer
They just wished her well
There'd been a storm.
The streets were frozen
Cobblestone ice on…
I'm doing just Fine with Buck Erpestad. Check out Bucks music here:

Here is what Buck said he added:
"So I used the tremolophone (vibes) and tuba sounds in Garageband and played them on the keyboard."

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!

Gilmour-esque.....sweet.
thats beautiful...wow
love the free form feel.
Solid Blues Track...always love the harp in there.
Slaying it!
hauntingly incredible.
cool version....:)
ack with a vengance! Has the AC/DC vibe and a bit of the Bon Scott in the vox. Nice gritty guitar riff and solo. Bad Ass tune.
Wonderful....?
Another fine one GC. A nice tune to warm things up around your neck of the woods.
Dig it....I spent many hours copping licks off that bluesbreakers album...nice choice played with your touch. Did not sound harsh at all.
You a monster shredder.....this has Shrapnel stank all over it!
Kooh....this is sweet..nice textures over that riff...nice modal soloing.
That's was perfect....love the vintage vocal effect....guitars primo across the board.
Man....just love the combo of banjo and acoustic....perfect marriage...great vocals and love the story. Pro stuff RP.
Always like the way you approach your vocals.....this has the British blues all over it.
Cool lil quirky track but sentimental at the same time..
Always uplifting to listen to your music.
Nice...like how your vocal sits right in there.
Smashing..dig that aggressive tone of the guitar and bass together..
