"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…
Caveat emptor: I did absolutely none of the drumming in this piece.
ANOTHER WORLD PREMIER! FIRST RECORDING OF THIS PATTERN - EVER!
My friend Kokou "Alex" Yemey delighted me with another visit this evening. He played "Aju" - all 5 tracks…
Very raw, completely improved piece. One track, one take.
Guitar -> GT-10 -> JamMan Stereo
A touch of Discord 3 was added as a send effect. Limiting on the master track. Et voila.
Sorry about the clipping.
Recommended listening…
Although I think I like this version the best, a longer break in the middle (at 2:40 there is a short one) with some ambient shalalas would be cool, just to break it up a bit. Just my op., the song and production are great as is.
Part IV of a fully improvised ep. Available for purchase at bandcamp.

By buying you will also get a $5 discount on the price of the LP I am working on once it comes out.
I have issues at my house, sometimes they manifest themselves in my tracks. In this case, the bassoon and oboe represent the mouse. The guitar is the peanut-butter.
Finally, the finishing touches seem to be put on this three-year-old song thanks to some very talented people.
The band is:
Liam (age 13 at the time of recording) on drums
A Girl Named Sam (she's no kid!) with the backing vocals
Genevieve…
Sank a solid 17.5 hours into this one, so there won't be a complete album out of this 24 hour day.
Had the structure floating around for a year; this is my first stab at it. There are definitely huge revisions in store.
It seems a lot of you record with open mics and can relate. I record 1 track at a time with usually 4 or 5 tracks. So, Im only asking for about 15 minutes of Silence...IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK??? Anyway, my house is so loud, I get a lot of bloopers…

I love the range of mood and texture in your music!
Wow Steve you uploaded quite a smorgasbord (sp?), need time to catch up! Welcome to alonetone!
I like this lil ditty..glad to see you here Bruce!
This is great that he played this with the "tape" running! Can I use this? I would not alter it, as you mentioned it shoud'nt be.
great improv!
Really good, unique song (singing) and treatments here. Thanks

Don't know how I missed this the first time around. Badass slidin'!
thanks Rhonie! You may want to look up the original John Fahey version, too.
Reminiscent of Neil Young's Dead Man soundtrack. Keep up the great sounds Max.
the praise genre is not really my cup o tea, but your voice is heavenly :)
Great groove.
Nicely done! Hope you got that little booger.
I love the feel and energy of this kind of music. Makes me wish I knew more Spanish.
Great song, great duet. I just got back from there and this sure hit the spot!
Pretty good as is! Like all the tuned percussion/organ interplay.
kickass cover!!! Doors Rock!
Appropriately, a blues song, I can relate.
thanks, yawl. @Richard: the pic was taken at Spider Rock overlook in Canyon de Chelly in the Navajo reservation, Arizona.
