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…

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

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?

dancing in a blue black sky

While I'm certain there are those who may be growing weary of scratching, I couldn't resist posting this great mix by Alister Flint, who is truly a master mixologist extraordinaire - he didn't even have individual tracks to work with! Al was too…
After writing this song about our newly adopted dog, I asked Kavin if he like to play some slide guitar, knowing that he would come up with something terrific... I just had no idea how terrific.

I've been noodling about with these chords for what feels like an eternity. They just are telling me what they want to be when they grow up... so I thought it's just time to record them and maybe solicit some kind of feedback.
Since I was…
Nice chord progs there. Adding this to a long list of alonetone songs I'd like to add something to, if I can keep from ruining it. Then again it might best be left alone, with it's airy openness.
First done by Dock Boggs back in the 20s, it's a great piece of melancholy parafunalia. Eerie to think it's a suicide note and reassuring to know he was still a tough old bird 40 years later.

Another wacky production from the stretchy, bouncy, and elastic world of Rubber. Special thanks to Mark (Launched) for writing this one for us.
We had a whole bunch of fun with this song and you will too.
Enjoy!

Just a hint of the original melody, and the cascading notes in the middle, it's a different take on a classic and that's good. Thanks for not putting the rain sound fx in!

Outstanding.
Oh, this is masterfully played. Just lovely.
Okay, this is just beyond lovely.
Dude, this is great! Looooooove the energy!
"We went away to find ourselves and came back to someone else." Great line. This track is not what I expect from you.
Like it... even made me pick up my acoustic :)
Sounds great man. Very peaceful.
Very nice!
Strong attack
Serenaded me lovely, there.
Nice!
Just gave this a listen while working on the site! Nice playing!

Ahhh another series of sputtering, glitchy noise pieces. Love it chimps!
I missed the eclipse the other morning, but this more than makes up for it. Beauty.
Great to see yawl here!
luvadatdubmon!
Agreed on all three points. A cool jam!
That was fun, thanks Keith. Now I wanna go out and adopt a puppy!
Successful play! I just finished watching 2001 a space odyssey (again) and this piece would have been perfect in the soundtrack. I wants a GR-20 now.
For some reason this is not playing for me on the pc or mac....

From the samples I've been listening too, DB was a monster banjo picker, among other things.
Gotta put a plug in for Darrin Kobetich, check him out on myspace and cdbaby. And at RPM Challenge!
Thanks for resurrecting this tune. Well done. Will have to look up some more of Boggs' work.
Dang, that kicks!
Quirky. Twisted. And the guitar is badass. Third listen.
Really nice, dreamy composition, but too short!

Great job. Love the Broken China album!
goshdawg! If I ever make it out to the islands we will jam.
Great duet. Nice California style folk.
Sweet tone. A Les Paul?
