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.
I was reading about Tosin Abasi and listening to a lot of his music around the time I recorded this, even though it doesn't sound very much like his stuff.
My tribute to Bill Hicks, one of the all time great stand-up comedians...always liked this guy... another one that died way too soon...youtube him if unaware of his work. Peace.
This is a Phil Keaggy tune. I swiped his original loop and then built my own thing on top of it. Might have been longer, but my volume swell effect keeps slipping out of sync with everything else. May work on it more at a later date
A very Merry Christmas to you all ....Thanks for listening...i got me a cry baby she's still not tamed but a lot of fun so i had too try her out and this is the outcome.. hope you enjoy!!
She had a beer and I drank water
Rectangle pizzas cut in quarters
But to me none of that mattered
She was the Woman At The Well
We ordered appetizers
Four bucks apiece it's Happy Hour
I couldn't take my eyes off her
I drove the car. She…
From 2011... If the Beatles did a Christmas song. I decided to have some fun with the intro, sort of a 1940's sound and then...off we go! Then some Christmas psychedelia at the end. Ear candy, I suppose. ;)
wrote and recorded this last Christmas...all guitars are my PRS SC Trem LTD (with rosewood neck)
keys and bass and (ahem!!! vocals) by me as well
Tis the season... so thought I would go for a repeat!!!.....Merry ho ho Christmas!!!

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!
