Dancing in the rain alone
I strain to hear a healing song
With teardrops falling to my feet
I will listen for Love's heartbeat
I'll fly away on angel wings
When I hear the angels sing
Stranded on an island of fear
The ocean's rage is all you…
Dancing in the rain alone
I strain to hear a healing song
With teardrops falling to my feet
I will listen for Love's heartbeat
I'll fly away on angel wings
When I hear the angels sing
Stranded on an island of fear
The ocean's rage is all you…
A song I wrote after President Obama's first election. I was so proud and hopeful. Not only the 1st Black President, but also the first from Hawaii!! I was just as moved and proud this election, with the added bonus of this being the first…
Let us silence the beat of the drums of war
and listen for the Messenger Wind
We will dance in the light of the newborn star
Let the Song of Redemption begin
"Peace on Earth!
Love is found!"
sing the angels all around
"Breath of Heaven,
Grace…

Audience laughed because I was introducing my netbook as "my band." The track was made using "band-in-the-box" since I don't have any real music-programming or multi-instrumentalist skills. :) Got my 12-yr old daughter to join us on this one…
He loves you
No matter what you've been through
No matter where you go
He loves you so
He loves you
No matter what you may do
He'll never turn away
He loves you every day
Every day
If you think you may have gone too far
Nothing could be further from the truth
You can't outrun the light from the Morning Star
The light that crossed the universe for you
(CHORUS)
You will see a new reality
Once you stand before Him, face to face
There is no power or principality
that can separate you from His grace
(CHORUS)
Through His sacrifice, He bore your pain
You are forgiven, now can you forgive?
From His rising, will you rise again?
Through His living, can you learn to live?
(CHORUS)
Thank you - and thanks for being so kind about my voice! I almost got to sing it for her with our bluegrass band at an event, but our set was cut short and I kinda "chickened out" so we didn't do it. So I "simulated" it with a music track and took another stab at it (see above) Mahalo - Keith
During a practice on Wednesday, our church's Bluegrass Gospel band suggested I bring one of my original songs on Sunday morning and teach it to them for that day's worship service. So I decided to write a song based on this week's lectionary…

Oh, well Bethan, I can say that besides your great music, your presence on Alonetone has also been one of inspiration and encouragement to folks like us who have minimal skills but love to create and express. Your kind words and support help to keep us going. Your music is always fresh, inventive, and wonderful. I hope when the time is right we'll hear more from you. Aloha, and God Bless! Keith

Every 3 years, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) asks teens from across the country to meet up in a city to worship, fellowship, learn, and serve. This year, it was New Orleans. 33000 youth gathered together to demonstrate God…
My first attempt at a Blumlein or Mid/Side recording. This one is actually a mid/side recording as I used a directional mic in combo with a figure 8 ribbon mic set at 90 degrees from the main mic. Thanks to Pat Broaders for the loan of the ribbon…
Kinda rough. I'm uploading this mainly to share a guitar technique I've been working on. I'm wearing a slide on my picking hand and using it to alter pitches in single line phrases. There's a lot more can be done with this technique that I've…
Had these backing tracks laying around on my drive for a while and didn't know what to do with them, so grabbed my Ebow and a fretless electric that I built for myself a couple years ago and had a go. My fretless playing is really in its infancy…
I swore that I would NEVER upload this. Was having a bad day trying to loop "nice" acoustic guitar sounds and got frustrated so grabbed my Taylor and plugged it into a cheesy Effects box and straight into the looper. Started twiddling knobs and…
Archival stuff from my distant past with former bandmates in Scartaglen. A set of traditional Irish tunes. Rescued from a cassette tape done at a concert back in the early 90's. Myself on Uilleann pipes and whistle. Mike dugger on guitar and fiddle…
More stuff from the ancient archives rescued from the same cassette tape as Last Nights Fun. This time a set of 3 Irish reels Live at a concert back around 1992
Several years ago I had a short lived duo with an oboe and English horn player named Nat. This is a demo from that period. It's an old old chord progression of mine that never really had a melody and Nat improvised this melody in the studio to…

And the coyotes have sharp teeth and they’ve learned how to use knives

Rough sketch of a proposed dreamy 12 string piece that I couldn't pull off on the 12 string so did this quick electric version with vocal pads. Not sure of the recording quality- sounds OK in my cans and kinda crappy on my monitors. Recorded march…
Wow, I had my eyes closed while listening to this, but when I opened my eyes in the middle, I could swear I was seeing light particles moving around to the music! Mahalo!
Similar in feel to the other Fragile Moment track. Mostly acoustic guitars recorded sitting in my shop on the H4N and then finished up in Cubase just this morning. September 9 09. Maybe a nice one for bedtime
Solo acoustic guitar recorded January 2nd 2009. Hope to do a longer more developed version at some point ,but for now just a short version to learn more about using new DAW software.
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode

Beautiful. It did, indeed, take me on a nice dream...
Thank you for this. It helped to calm my spirit today, and I did need it. Mahalo!
Mmm, very nice. I was gently transported all around and in between light and shadow through this tune. Mahalo for this beautiful piece!
