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…
If you would like to hear the voice of one of my vocally talented students, though, come on over and listen to "Take Me North" with Ashley... Now that kid is going to be some singer!

Just to clarify, the drummer is a thirteen year old kid, the person who helped with much of the arrangement is a fifteen year old kid, and the vocals are done by A Girl Named Sam (NOT a kid, but a wonderfully talented fellow RPM'er singer/songwriter here on alonetone.

Oh Man! That vocal is superb!
And The Female vox fits in perfect!
Great mix, and blend of intruments!
I agree! This one is Eternal!
A Superb Song!

What does a songwriter do when he's addicted to Doctor Who (and his new very cute companion)? He writes...
Amy Pond
Red hair and that pretty face beneath it
My how you've grown up after oh so many years
I've only been away for ten or…
Thanks again, professional?? AHAHAHA, naaa just having fun as usual. I took 2 music theory courses and then realized it was warping my brain, so i forgot it all and went back to playing what i love.

Exorcising an old demon. Eight or ten years ago, one of my ninth grade students came up with a permanent solution to a temporary problem on Halloween night. He was the last kid I had spoken to that day on my way out the door. Again, if you…
The first recorded version of this song, this little folk song was originally written fifteen or so years ago with just the four chord rhythm guitar and single vocal. The song became what it is today when I needed to write additional verses for…

Another song from the archive... Written about a friend who somehow seemed to come out of her general sad manner... Thoughts go back to a lunar eclipse when the girl I was standing next to to watch it (way back in college) disappeared from sight…
Another oldie but goodie (again, apologies for the few seconds of silence it takes to get to the intro). This song is the first that I really tried to record properly, written around Christmastime four or five years ago with my seventh grade…
Thank you very much. I just do what i do. I love music, and yours rocks. I like your music because acoustic is my first love. My father played acoustic guitar as a singer songwriter with my mother for over 30 years. So acoustic is my first an only love. I have GREAT respect for it. If you ever want to collaborat on anything be sure to let me know. I play out of a simple studio, in a trailer park in New Mexico. Also, i had to show "take me North" to my wife, we head north to the mountians every weekend to go camping so it is the perfect song for us. Nice to meet you, and keep playing the great music that you make.

A song written for a great girl who'll be getting married next year...
"You'll always be this young if love comes first
And you stay filled with life."
I'm glad you like this one so much, Tess. I actually wrote it for a friend of mine (a terrific girl) who'll be getting married next summer. I only see her once a year at her brother-in-law's Labor Day weekend party, and when I heard she was engaged, this song just came out... The sentiment could apply to any young girl, however... "You'll always be this young if love comes first and you stay filled with life."
A good friend of mine Harris Kidd filmed a short piece of work starring my other great friend (and my drummer) Zay Brignall, anywaaays he asked if I could make a soundtrack for it soooo I sat down and watched it over and over and started plunking…
Believe it or not, this song was written while swimming laps in the high school pool (I had to have the life-guard kid write down lines for me every time I returned from the deep end). Oddly enough, the first line I came up with was "Swimming…
Wellll it's not really a mystery, it's a little Beatles remixing!! I've basically just mashed together Octopus's Garden and All My Lovin'.
Hope you like it!
toooons of fun makin it :)

Thanks to everyone for so many positive comments about this song (and thank you again to Kavin for making it sound so good). So many great dogs out there and we were just lucky enough to adopt one of the best.
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
Licensed for my new "Forever" CD by HFA this song is from "Prince of Persia". It's a song about having faith that all troubling things will turn out allright. All you have to do is believe it will.

Again, apologies for the silence before this song gets going as well as for the inconsistent vocals... I hope the message overrides any lack of ability with respect to the song's execution.

Recorded a while ago when I really didn't have any idea what I was doing... Even so, the talent of the kid in the duet comes through. Apologies for the opening seven seconds of silence (hmmm... I may need to name my next album that).
This is a song that started as just an idea I had playing live one lovely thursday evening and I just started playing this progression and sang some gibberish over it and I came up with the "chorus" part and and the Idea of asking questions in…
If you think this one's great, you need to go over and listen to Corbin's "One Step at a Time." It will get stuck in your head... And you'll be glad it did.
This is a piece Norm and I collaborated on last year. We hope you will enjoy it.
two improvised 12 string guitar lines
bass line ( I took a few takes)
improvised piano
Norm's percussion in Tumbao rhythm
When I wrote this it was a cold cloudy and dark winter night here in vancouver but I was sitting in my room and was just in a sunny state of mind. I then picked up my Uke and started fiddlin around searching for a breezy chord progression, then…

That is some harmony for a 15 year old! Love the tune!
Sam sounds like one of the Indigo Girls :-) Very nice song everyone!
Oh Man! That vocal is superb! And The Female vox fits in perfect! Great mix, and blend of intruments! I agree! This one is Eternal! A Superb Song! Faved!
That's a dandy. Charming tune.
Nice one man!
Great song, great duet. I just got back from there and this sure hit the spot!
Thanks again, professional?? AHAHAHA, naaa just having fun as usual. I took 2 music theory courses and then realized it was warping my brain, so i forgot it all and went back to playing what i love.
These are really great! D & R (Alias M & D)
I really like your style. This is another excellent song.
Great song, really great. I really like the vocals. it really sounds good guys.
There is an extreme difference between the southern desert and the northern desert. Give me the North. Great tune. -M
This is a great song! A man and his guitar... An awesome thing sir... Faved

Great sound! Very well done.
Very cool.
Just going through February's RPM Challenge songs... Upped the volume on the vocals a bit (hopefully not too much).
Very cool. I wish I was brave enough to try to cover music from the gods... You handle it beautifully!
Thanks to everyone for so many positive comments about this song (and thank you again to Kavin for making it sound so good). So many great dogs out there and we were just lucky enough to adopt one of the best.
Great song in every way!
Wow... Soooooooo good.
Wow... What a voice.
Big thanks to Kavin for making this song more than I could have possibly imagined with his incredible slide guitar.
Very nice. So great to find another great artist to follow!
Great track... I'd love to see the movie that goes with this soundtrack!
Again, apologies for the silence before this song gets going as well as for the inconsistent vocals... I hope the message overrides any lack of ability with respect to the song's execution.
Very nice... Will there be any words to go with this in time? Although it is great just asit is.
Magnificent track!
Man, Kavin... This is just great stuff... Playing my way through some of your tunes and enjoying them all!

Yup, back again to listen to the terrific song.
