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…
This has several riffs that remind me of one of my favorite guitarists: Robin Trower. I have several of his CD's from the 70's, and you play as well as he did.

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
Nicely done Kavin. Brilliant.
Nice tune. He was and still is one of my favorite authors.
Oh this is nice! Love that twang!!
Listening to this again and i think Norm describes it well. its awesome
Awesome track!
Oooh, perfect sound, wonderful.
this is beautiful - I love the slide. Gosh I sound so amateurish compared to you guys (and Kirk, and Bethan, and Tess, and ..... I'm just wow'd .
Very nice playing and singing!
I like your interpretation of this song. Found myself singing along. Well done. ER

Like this very much. The lyrics are very good, as are the vocals. Nice guitar work, too. ER
Now this iss just beauty. Really great song. I realy like the vocals. Reso sounds like heaven. Top track guys.
I really like this one. ALt tuning always demands a second listen i think, particularly from a guitar standpoint. Really rich a 2:30
I love it too - fabulous performances from everyone!
Sweet song! I can see why it's a favorite of yours
Good one.
like it!
It makes me feel like I'm in the desert.. making my way Home...
Great!
Lovely stuff Kavin! The reversed bit at the end is really effective
Comments made by kavin.
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!
