January challenge songwriting fun...
WATER UNDER WATER
So near the surface
So near the end
So near the purpose
Time and again
Just barely breathing
I’ll need you when
I’m floating in the water under water
Holding on loosely
Without letting…
I'm a teacher, a parent of elementary school children, a mental health advocate, and a pacifist. It's been a rough week... But there's still time.
TIME
Time to look in the mirror
Time to say what we believe
Is this the world we want…

Landry/Garn
When I sent this song off to Jim, he sent back tracks for a second rhythm guitar, lead guitar, and drums. Bass soon followed, and Kavin's slide dropped in nicely. Just thought I'd let y'all have a listen to what came back to me…
Agree with slkrell on this one.
I guess its time to start DL ing for this years x mas playlist
well done, i dont think ive ever gotten past 9 ladies dancing ;)
Demo version of a song I've been messing with.
I know what they're missing... The only girl.
I know what they're missing... The one and only in the world.
Sometimes you need to stay up late to try to force yourself to dream.
When I wrote this song (and started singing it a bit), I knew that my voice could never give it what it needed... So I turned it over to one Sister Savage... And she did…
My contribution to the Angie Fights Crime album "Sunny, Sorta..." AFC wrote the lyrics and chords, then gave me free reign to do what I wanted from there.
I tried some very out of character things with the guitar. I think they worked…
I have loopitus. it's contagious so be careful.
I'm having fun with it. Like puking in the toilet and pretending I'm driving a school bus.
It's fun.......
I have dreams of playing this well... No seriously... Just the other night I was playing smooth like this (and sadly awoke to find I am still just a mere mortal). Man, I hope this pre-sets me for some good REM sleep tonight.
Great track, Kavin!
This tune came about by total chance.
I recorded the Backing track during a spare half an hour one night this week ... Just a Noodle...
Met up with Aaron today by total chance and he was up for recording a vocal on it.
He Free-styled the…
Man, you do have some cool neighbors. LOVE Wyen's backing vocals... Perfect counterpoint to the perfect guitar and edgy lead vocal. Very well done, my friend!
So I dropped the guitar into DADGAD tuning for the first time, threw a capo on the third fret, rifled off something nice, and sent it to Movement to Contact for his contribution, got it back, did some mixing...
Here is the result.
YOU NEED…
Added a little more to this nice little change of strumming patterns played as an excuse to write a little love song.
I FOUND LOVE
You know I love you more than I
Ever thought one simple man could
You know I need you more than I
Ever…
Well, screw the metronome, damn the torpedoes, and grab a capo!
Sometimes the best versions are the ones played fast and loose. Hope you enjoy this song adapted from one of my all-time favorite poems (I'm a bit biased since my dad wrote it…
Back to basics here. recorded with the Yeti mic.
Ramblin' round your city,ramblin' round your town
I never see a friend I know
As I go ramblin' round boys
As I go ramblin' round
My sweetheart and my parents I left in my old hometown…
...And this might be the best of the lot. Man, what a great sound! Six songs uploaded are simply not enough from you! I'll be looking out for more.
Keep writing and playing. You've picked up a fan here in NY.
Man, how have I missed out on this stuff these last couple of months... Good thing I randomly picked a point on the alonetone map to see who's in the state... To think of what I would have missed out on!
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff
Super Arrangement . Great writing here. You and Greg Connor are my two heros when it comes to one voice one guitar. Faved Keith.
Thank you for this Keith. Very moving track my friend.
That's a wonderful track.
Now that is one cool track mate. Excellent.
Great way to convey what everyone is thinking . . . at least I hope we're all thinking that.
A wonderful expression of hope. Thanks Keith
What a beautiful track written in our time of sorrow, of young lives lost. I was in tears. Thank you, Keith for this heart moving track
Excellent playing, sir. Very powerful song. ER
Tops really cool.
Yeah! This is great.
Awesome.
Ha ha sweet! Rockin version Keith! RPM is almost here again! I better get my a$$ in gear!
A nice, upbeat take on this classic. I bet your arm was aching after that. Bee
Festive fun! Now I want to put my Christmas Tree up!
Cool..I added it to my Christmas list!
Agree with slkrell on this one. I guess its time to start DL ing for this years x mas playlist well done, i dont think ive ever gotten past 9 ladies dancing ;)

Comments made by Keith Landry
Tess voice is just too got not to fave it myself.
Damn, this is excellent. This quick improv of yours is simply perfect.
Ha! First one in on this nugget of goodness!
Excellent funky foot-chase scene track! I already feel the illness setting in. "It's fun?" Understatement... Great track.
I have dreams of playing this well... No seriously... Just the other night I was playing smooth like this (and sadly awoke to find I am still just a mere mortal). Man, I hope this pre-sets me for some good REM sleep tonight. Great track, Kavin!
Ha! First one in!
Solid track... This should show up in an indie film soundtrack. Somehow smooth and edgy all rolled into one. Excellent arrangement and performance.
Great arrangement... Very clean and smooth.
Here's another nugget... What a great voice!... And so well played!
Instant fave... How have I missed this song for so long? Off to see what other goodness you have here at Alonetone.
Man, you do have some cool neighbors. LOVE Wyen's backing vocals... Perfect counterpoint to the perfect guitar and edgy lead vocal. Very well done, my friend!
Thanks Rob! Glad you like the stuff... The new CD is currently in the works!
Just messing with some simple added arrangement... It'll probably need some volume work with the extra guitar tracks, but I kinda like the additions.
Yeah I faved it... I reserve the right!... My dad wrote it... It's my favorite poem of his!
Great track... As always!
Woody Guthrie AND Kavin... One hell of a nice recipe for music.
Ah, good to see another upload! I hope you continue to dip into the old catalog of tunes... An oldie but goodie, this one.
...And this might be the best of the lot. Man, what a great sound! Six songs uploaded are simply not enough from you! I'll be looking out for more. Keep writing and playing. You've picked up a fan here in NY.
Radio ready sound. Damn... I guess all of strawbfan's tracks are going to be this good.
