#4 for the RPM Challenge.
Have you heard this melody before? This is one of those where I wonder if I've unconsciously "borrowed" something from someone. Translation: the Fly Boat, like the tourist boats that ply the river Seine and their bright…
Ditty #10 for RPMC. I really had a hard time trying to come up with the final track, so I fell back on the old loop/delay/ebow improv formula, which I had hoped to avoid on this album. Kind of acoustic Breaking Light. Well it crossed the finish…

Ditty #9 for the RPMC album "Bones".
I'd had this rolling around in my head for about a year now, and even played it live with the SD&Q trio. Didn't quite turn out as planned, which is not unusual.

Song #2 for the RPMC. My goal is to have 12 short tunes (1-3 minutes long), so I need to pick up the pace.
Again, quartal tuning on the top 3 unison pairs of the 12 string. I've been listening to Ralph Towner's Blue Sun, hence the title.

This track is off of the third CD. This is an improv recorded one afternoon in my basement recording studio. Recorded with my Huss and Dalton MJC in standard tuning.
This track is off the third CD. It reminds me of the feeling that one has when having to do something that we'd rather not do. Recorded with my Godall 12 in standard tuning.
I sent the tracks for this tune to a friend of mine who owns a professional studio. I gave him no instructions on how to mix it, as I wanted someone else's take on the music. He created a very dry, intimate mix, focusing more on the acoustic guitars…
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…
Comments on kavin.'s stuff
Nice acoustic work. :)
Lovely taste of France. Great playing Kavin! Bee
I didn't make out what you said, listening again... Sounds Russian! And also, do you think I sound like Mac? :)
It sure did. And now for something completely different! Nice one!
far out
Sooooo beautiful! w;-)
Interesting and unique. I like that balance between staccato and drone.
OMG - can you say brilliant? w;-)
Absolutely LOVE this track! w;-)
You amaze us, & we always want more! Superb track! k&w
Inspiring!
Someone plays guitar like George Harrison!! It's beautiful...
Oh yes! Like that slide...
Superb album, K.

love this one..its like gushing water in the stream..greatt..cool cool progression
Has a Led Zep feel to it, great
I think it worked out just fine. If you tap out the creative well, fall back on what you know, and you do so damn good at it

Yeah! This sounds like it could have been on Clapton's first solo album.
Nice playing. Inspiring!
Great stuff Howard. Thanks for uploading these 3 albums. Wonderful listening for all us pickers.
Wow Rick, I guess I missed this when you put it up! That was great fun, thanks. The koto sound was done with an iPod Touch app, by the way.
Wonderful remix, I like the guitars up front on this one. An alonetone guitar favorite, for me.
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!
@ NA, yep it's a SS track, but no vocal. I added gtr. Thanks man.
Wanted to bring this back up front for Halloween. A great reading with cool sound fx!
Great, Tool-ish bass work!
