Snow had fallen
Snow on snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter

Back to basics here. recorded with the Yeti mic.

existential dread has hit my soul
weigh me down like a lump of coal

This track is a second attempt to put Kavin's beautiful track [Poor Boy](http://alonetone.com/kavin/tracks/poor-boy) through my Steve Reich style phase shifting looper.
In the first I had it play through the whole track but I didn't think it…
A song written for my dear old friend, Kirk Lynch, who I've known for almost 20 years. For those who don't know, Kirk and I live less than an hour apart, but I swear it's been five years since we've seen each other in person, which just ain't…
Great back ground and technical notes, very nice tune. You guys should do something together. Two of my favorite pickers in these parts. Good luck with the ear thing, be well.

Beautiful soundscape on that acoustic and lovely playing. Reminds me of an English guitarist named Adrian Legge.

This popped up in itunes and I thought it was Yes! Great guitars and arrangement!
Interesting. Tends to bring out elements that just whizz by in the original. Cool, thanks.
Thanks yawl. @mmi: everytime I record acoustic gtr it's always an experiment, and never seem to get it "real". But we keep trying.
Hail yuh!
Love this rockin' stuff. Thanks.
Me too. This song. Gonna be in my head all day and that's ok. Good one.
Great to hear these again!
Well done, from the heart. Let their memory live on in this.
Yeah, sure. I like the violin and words at the beginning.
Thanks guys. New version has harmonic and eq fixes.
This is greatness! Has me reaching for my 12-string!
Love it! Alan Parsons meets Fright Night!

Wanted to bring this back up front for Halloween. A great reading with cool sound fx!
Great, Tool-ish bass work!
