A not very cheerful Christmas song I wrote for the RPM Holiday Challenge. Based on the classic Arthur C. Clarke science fiction story "The Star". http://faculty.winthrop.edu/kosterj/engl510/star.htm
Light years out and an eternity back to…
A quick little tune written in appreciation of a small expression of contentedness.
I can see in that little smile
You're living for the moment
Every once in a little while I catch it
No one else could match it
You're more than meets the eye
A mashup with
Roger Sundström Guitar, Soundscaping
Bruce Hamilton (rumfuz)
Paul Muller (IF 3-2-12)
Richard Sanderson (Wren)
Steve Moshier (Trash Can Holiday)
Paulo Chagos (Capricho)

What if Bo Peep were a bit of a b*tch? If I knew her when she was like that, I might write a song like this.

Hey, Bo.
Where did they all go?
Hey Bo.
What do you know?
Maybe I could help you
In your quest.
Maybe I could…
This was written at a time when things weren't going so well for me. This will be my last upload until after the RPM Challenge.
The jeans are worn but they're clean.
The shirt is frayed at the elbows.
The shoes are dull, lost their sheen…
And with this track, the album is finished. Except for the uber-track to encompass all tracks, which we'll release here as a single as soon as we write it. Enjoy!
One of two versions of Keith Landry's great song.
Listen to the original [here](http://alonetone.com/keithlandryacoustic/tracks/as-the-train-rolls-through)
It began as a poem, until two separate friends inquired randomly how the song sounded... I replied, "What song?" and they laughed... So I went back to the studio and this came out... Enjoy!

Maybe I missed a career scoring for no budget spaghetti westerns, because this is what this reminds me of. Done live a couple weeks ago with the Taylor and a floor full of toys and loopers.

When I was a music major one of my friends had a family which ran a funeral home - a well paid profession seeing that they had several cars, maids and butlers - and spent a few nights there. (We tended to stay up to the early am debating…
I was thumbing a ride along a hot, deserted Caribbean road. When Steve pulled up in this vintage pre-war Chevy, I was very grateful. It just so happened he was heading to the same cantina I was, so we kicked back with a pitcher of mojitos…
Comments on kavin.'s stuff
awesome ashcan guitar. Try a set of GHS super thin strings for it, they cheap but good.
:( Can't get this to play for me. Ah, no, ignore that...it just began after a sticky start. Lovely intricate piece - so many melodic strands!
Hahahaha!
:)
12 string heaven!
I enjoyed this performance and compositional idea a lot - nice one!
HAHA! I needed a good laugh this morning and that was sure it!
Wonderful! Almost sounds like 2 guitars in places
Ha ha ha!! Great fun!
Wow, what a sound. No idea whatever the "About" means, but sounds great to me.
very nice, there's a lot going on here,, takes really listening to not just hearing, and yes i agree it rings out well....
Top sound Kavin very cool mate. Dig the way a 12 string rings out. This is really good guitar playing mate. Excellent.
thanks,,yesss it is pretty funny,, almost fell off my chair,,thanks for sharing

Smooth, nice recording of the guitars.
Good 'un. Been listening to Doug Sparling?
New to me. Great melody, Keith.
Nice dark ambient mash Roger.
CooL, ER. Ian Drury sings nursery rhymes!
Great octave guitar riff at 3 minutes.
Really nice. Need to check the rest of the album
I like em both!
Great vocal. Nice meditative drone. Like the video too.
Industrial edge to this one. And that fat ass bass!
Big drums and slide guitar. Love it.
Dayum. Seriously good soundtrack for something awesome.
Seriously? An electronic classical RPM album? This is great!
Have you been listening to Miles' Kind of Blue? I like this.
Very cool, Kirk. More of that!
Thanks Richard, I'd like to hear your Jesu variation too!
One of the most interesting things I've heard here in a while. Like how it starts out slow and whips into a frenzy.
Nice spooky texture. I interviewed for a job at a funeral home once but opted for the hospital across the street.
Hah! Toldja!
