"There Are More Important Things in Life Than Living"
dedicated to Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick
There are pleasures we shall never meet again
as we drop our lovers…
Give Me a Call
Did I say something wrong
Did I let you down
Do you think of me when no ones around
Because I think of you
And I think a lot
Of everything we had and what we’ve still got
You know you could call
Or I could too
But everything…
Give Me a Call
Did I say something wrong
Did I let you down
Do you think of me when no ones around
Because I think of you
And I think a lot
Of everything we had and what we’ve still got
You know you could call
Or I could too
But everything…
A little birthday uke ditty, bookended by two improvs
So this is year 61
Made it this far
Let’s have some fun
Keep looking forward don’t look back
Time has a way of keeping track
Of joy and pain
We all live for love
Sun or rain
This…

Where the wind spins the turbine…
Yes I saw a chupacabra.

Hello Little One
Hello little one
Glad I ran into you
Are you some kinda freak
Or did you escape from a zoo?
Ears like a fox, look like a dog
About as much hair as you'd…

Lyrics:
Lord Jestocost
She’s a cat and she’s a girl
But she’s not equal in this world
I am lord of all I see
This…

First in a planned series of American traditional folk tunes presented as simple guitar instrumentals.
Here's the lyrics if you want to sing along:
Oh, where have you been, Billy Boy, Billy Boy?
Oh, where have you been, Charming Billy?
I…
Other layers may or may not be in the works, but I thought I'd let everyone have a listen so far.
HERE WE ARE TODAY
How can it be so clear
In my mind
The first night you were here
Like going back in time
Sweet as summer wine
Your whisper…

This started with a couple of samples in a new version of Boite Diabolique where the samplers slide over them at different rates and varying granular density. I recorded some of that as I varied the rates and then brought the recording into Live…
I'm redoing this one even though I just re did it. With more content and absolutely redoing the vocals. Didn't like how they turned out as much as I wanted them too.
tracked 7 years ago, in the same vein as "A Brain Haemorrhage Would Be A Birthday Present".

There was this biker bar called The 2500 Club. Just west of Sylvania on Belknap. On a sign outside it says, "The best little biker bar in Texas." Guthrie and Rick and I played there long enough to get to feeling pretty much like family.

Johnny Stones fabulous tune was playing on the juke-box in the cellar last night and Robert got up to do his thing but Reg told him to step down and let him have a go.Reg took over proceedings and blew everyone away down the cellar with his take…

Nice one KL, made me feel good which I needed.
how the hail did I miss this? woaw
Reminds me of my days working in the Denebian trilithium mines.
Well done. Very Pachelbel.
added to the electronic/ambient playlist. thanks. http://alonetone.com/kavin/playlists/kavins-favorite-electronicambient-tracks-on-alonetone
hard to believe you have no more than 20 listens on any of your tunes.
dreamy. great. But now I have that blasted earworm.
The Cline brothers, really? Would love to hear more about that someday. Nels seems a bit subdued, but still great.
I like the treatments on the horn. The rhythm brothers are spot on, as usual.
been listening to too much John Lee Hooker? Raw sound but good.
my work friend just said, "Star Wars!"
because they didn't have their own reality show. Trippy!
perfect melding of melody, harmony and instrumentation, well done.
cool sounds here!
Overall sounds warmer than what you were doing before. Good song too.
new platform? Cool. I do Logic too.
have a soft spot in my heart for lesbian biker chicks James (which does me no good). Great song!
very Deep Forest
great driving stuff, just what I needed.
Brings back fond mem..we'll no I forgot
