billy boy where did you go
sittin in a pile of snow
come on down its gettin cold
for the time is getting old
well we made our way to the old wigwam
frozen lake and wind was calm
standing bow did strike a deer
to feed the tribe…
A lil rocker influenced by some of my faves, Springsteen, Petty etc.. well i left my home and family
and made my way out west
i lost my job at the steel mill
im a hoping for the best
in this life
for my kids and wife
just outside of Davenport…
I have been wanting to do some Cream covers for awhile now and with the passing of Jack Bruce it seemed an appropriate time to record some sort of tribute to him and the band.

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…
Had this one sitting around for a year of so. I revisited it on Saturday and put down a couple guitar tracks and did a quick mix and master session on it. The inspiration came from a really cool melody/guitar riff a friend sent to me. Right off…
I threw this one together tonite/early am...yawnnnnn. Not an exact replica but always a tribute to Jimi's music. I was originally turned on to do this by some new free vst effects I found on the net. A cool fuzz face vst that is very realistic…

Came up with this chord progression on the bass one day and hit record for the hell of it. Came back to it and decided to throw a quick lil melody over it. I think this is going to close out the "Just a minute?" playlist so I can move on to music…

Reg crawled out of his bunker and wandered down the hill where Jip 1965 found him and dragged him round to FDR,s cave,the beer flowed,the whiskey jug was emptied and we all turned into AC/DC. And then we went down the Rum Runner and rocked the…
Another one of my lil ditties that I started writing at the bowling alley. First game I bowled a 204 the rest of the evenin the games were less exciting. Get me high, then strike a blow
I wrote this after I sang with a friend
at his mother's funeral.
He had always wondered
why he looked nothing like his brothers...
DOOR MAT
Key - A
A) My daddy treated Mama like a door mat
D) Me and little brother didn't like that…
I wrote this thing in 1994. When I played it to some friends back then they went "yeah, but where's the rest of it?"
I've been struggling with that concept ever since. Then, a while ago, a couple of kindly souls removed that worry from me…
Another one jip1965 sent to me for playing with!
Silent and magical
Calming and practical
Moonbeams, silver moonbeams
Filtering through the air
Twinkling in our hair
Moonbeams, silver moonbeams
Dancing on the leaves of trees
Shaking…

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.
As I reflected on the 100th anniversary this past year of the ship's sinking, this song brought me back to the piano and this was the rendition that was produced as I thought of that fateful night. Original music by James Horner and lyrics by…
Ok - a collab between myself, Lady Jane and FDR. I hope the MP3 does it justice. Nice one you guys.
I put the basics together, FDR did lead and suggested the theme on "gliding", and LJ created the words, sang, added some effects (chimes, woodblock…
Standard tuning, very cool approach than. I thought some of it sounded standard and a couple parts had me wondering. Nice work. The vocals remind me of a version Zappa did of Purple Haze. I have been on the fence like Mac has been about doin a tribute. I say do it. NIce job kavin.
Reg has started to face some facts while at rehab.....

She'll stick to you, Strange brew. I like the swirly feel.
Nailed it.
Sweet...LOVE this ! Great playing and feel !
Yeah, nice one. I'm with captgene - strong bass part and you're good to go.
Well done, slip a strong bass riff in there and a super hit.
Cool . Major bass , Blues twisted melody . A keeper. Develop this please
Too brief -- such choice guitar work needs more room to spread out and engulf the listener's soul.
Nice lil melody :)
Sweet, too short!
Oh yes, nice sounds.

Wow never heard this Shania tune! Nice work!
Ahhh....love it love it love it. One of my faves. Perfect rendition.
Balls to the wall. Turn it to 11!
You could sing about Corn flakes and we would all still be in awe. Thanks for sharing.
I dont know where to begin. Special stuff , my lord.
So damn soulful.
Haaa! Great job. Very cool vocals. Taking me back to Loggins and Messina era.
Pheww, your vocals are killer. That is a great 2 minutes.
Love it. What a vocal on this. You always connect the listener with the song. Another beauty added to the catalog.
This could crush thru brickwalls and tear steel I - beams. Nice finger grease!
Oooh....nice vocals , love the bridge section changes.
Okay, after a few tweaks, spaceship sounds, fuzz guitar and a better drum track I am happy now.
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.
Beautiful music and playing.
Flowin nicely ....hell yeah.
Reminds me of Simon n Garfukel. Then its starts rockin.
Good right from the start. Nice wash of synths in there. Very nice vocal as well.
Standard tuning, very cool approach than. I thought some of it sounded standard and a couple parts had me wondering. Nice work. The vocals remind me of a version Zappa did of Purple Haze. I have been on the fence like Mac has been about doin a tribute. I say do it. NIce job kavin.
Great writing and lyrics.
What tuning you have goin here?
