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…

This just pulled me right in! You have some GREAT tone on that guitar, and your fingers . . . How do you get them to move so fast?
This was a treat to listen to.
Found this old track while backing up my hard drive. It is an alternate tracked played at a slower tempo. I added a quick drum track and ruff remix this morning.
Having more fun with Hendrix. I tried to stay true to the original as far as using no overdubs. Just one guitar, bass, drum and vocal track. Kind of used a mix approach and used a bit from the record and a bit from his live performance in Winterland…
Part of a collaborative effort done here. My friend sent me these guitar parts which I arranged, twisted and morphed to create this. I added the percussion and other non musical elements thanks to my kids playing while I was experimenting with…
I got a new amplifier and instead of doing what I should have been doing I did this. It gets a little crazy in the middle and its microtonal so the vocals are gonna sound out - but I enjoyed it. Yeah, those be drum loops. 15 notes per octave.
Yesterday was a misfire because I had the drums misaligned - but Fabrizio came to the rescue and mixed this properly! We hope you enjoy our collaboration!
Earth, Can You Hear me Now? is a rock composition in 17 notes per octave (17 edo, 17…

All the time we spent is gone now

A pop-rock thingy recorded in 2006. Can't remember too much about it except that it was a new song then, I spent an inordinate amount of time on the lyrics and arrangement, and wasn't that happy with it when I was done(!).
I quite like it now…
This is an oldie. Recorded in 2005. It was the first recording I finished on a DAW, but I'd played it a lot in the last band I was in (around the turn of the century). I think it was written in the mid 90s. It's about one of the casualties of…

As turning the pages of memory, randomly and lento. All that I know, is seen not as it was actually, but with age and experience (...dusted?). How can I forget? Do I need to?

Nice playing.
Beautiful....
Dark, reminds me of Soundgarden. Good stuff.
With the heaviness!
Love how this builds up. Nice songwriting.:)
Love tunes like this.
This is really nifty tune. Love the subdued vocal. It opens up really well when the strings enter. I agree CK, can only here it on alonetone.
Great song. Love the choice of instruments.
Love the lyrics.
The opening vox kill me. Powerful!
Masterful......
Golden! Cant say enuff again.
What a voice.
Retro tune....bringing me back to bands like Simple Minds. Nice solo in there as well.
I see what Citizen ref's Riders with the heavy trem on the guitar. Nice funky tune. I would pay and stay to see this band.
Perfect...you have to be tearing up the local scene.
This is so damn good. My my...the way it is supposed to be played.
Oh hell yeah! Stoked!
This very darn good. Your vocals fit perfect over a jazz tune like this. Love it.
Hell yeah bluesman! Stingy playin! Never heard a blues about influenza.
