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

what a great collection of songs. very inspiring. i think of ditching the band and doing a solo acoustic thing. this makes me think even harder. great words. your vox keeps getting stronger . great stories. incredible rpm effort!
The title track for this year's RPM album. One mic. Live take. Please forgive the missed notes.

This year will be my fifth year coaching one of my daughters in tee ball, and although I played ball competitively into my thirties, coaching the kids is easily the most fun I've ever had on the diamond.

One of the first songs I ever wrote... When we bought our first house, we had a nice big back yard on a 1/3 acre lot... With the train tracks just on the other side of the back fence.
After writing this song about our newly adopted dog, I asked Kavin if he like to play some slide guitar, knowing that he would come up with something terrific... I just had no idea how terrific.

Your strumming arm is like a piston on this one! The lyrics could be appreciated by anyone who works for a living. Another delightful tune, wonderfully performed!

I am really impressed that you only used one microphone! You have a really pleasant and earnest voice....a little like John Denver, who was my first influence on guitar. This is a GREAT tune! A great start.
A few months back, Jim (MTC) posted an outstanding acoustic track which summoned up a clear-as-day memory from my childhood. The vividness of that memory resulted in this song... Amazing how such significant events in your life (like recognizing…
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!

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.

Radio ready sound. Damn... I guess all of strawbfan's tracks are going to be this good.
