For 2011 RPM Challenge album John the Resonator
A Sword and Sorcery parody. With Elvis.
Daughter Brit sang the vocal in the middle part.
Elvis was the mountain king
Who ruled the land of El-Karyaang
His wife Priscilla lady fair
Was taken…
Got bumps on my body
One under my eye
Been there since birth
I don't know why
Have one on my leg and one on my back
I guess it's better than having a heart attack
Someone said "Know thyself" he was pretty wise
I thought I knew me pretty…
Had the blues in Alabama
Had the blues in Texas too
Had the blues all over
Now I 'm givin' em to you
And if you don't want em
You know what you can do
You wont find me I'm goin' ta run and hide away from you
Because I see trouble
Trouble…
Had the blues in Alabama
Had the blues in Texas too
Had the blues all over
Now I 'm givin' em to you
And if you don't want em
You know what you can do
You wont find me I'm goin' ta run and hide away from you
Because I see trouble
Trouble…
Mellow morning mist fall
Melting into day
This summer said son, you are lazy
Don’t follow any example, break every rule
After awhile you’ll find it’s so easy to do
Just stay within the limits of your love
Soon the air will turn colder…
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…
What's to say? That we actually have anything to do with what our government does? Ha! Even Woody Guthrie knew the truth. They just leave that verse out of his "anthem".
No Man's Land
Easy come, easy go. Nothing lasts for long
Pay your…
Time to upload an oldie from February - see the video
Stratocastor copy from a kit with lace pickups x 5 through guitar rig 4 against Norm Harris' Illesa in the Pantry!

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.
Excellent new songs up JMT, esp. this 'un. I look forward to the day when we can jam again.
Very cool, inventive stuff.
