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."

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…

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.

fantastic, mans best friend indeed. Big ol' shepard mix, yeah, I had one of those kind once, called him Max, your song is bringing memories to my mind. Thanks for this.
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…

Eerie, mournful, beautiful, but so, so lonely.
These are the words of a friend listening to it. When you make a conscious choice as to who you should be, what you were meant to be, what you have failed to be, until now...
This one is meant…
Summer Grass- I didn’t originally intend for this to be the title track, but since most, though not all, of the songs on this album sound like summer to me, I decided, why not? The guitar even sounds humid and warm, but in that nice July way…

Ok, before I go any further, I need to thank Alonetoner Greg Connor. He proposed a song-writing challenge around the theme of "Who Knew" in early/mid December. Many musicians here in the Alonetone community wrote some amazing songs around this…
A somber holiday tune written through the eyes of someone that may not be in the position to celebrate the holidays, but must look on as others do.
Recorded Nov - Dec 2018
Woot! It was a pleasure to work on this brilliantly written song. This definitely pushed my recording and arranging process beyond it typical boundaries. Much appreciation for trusting me with this beautiful little gem.
Newest song Ive written and recorded. Recorded at my sons home studio. My son produced, co wrote, and he plays the great lead guitar on the tune. Copyright by R.J. Garn and Jim Garn, December 2017.
I enjoyed this thoroughly, and as for the "guest" and his moronic comment... He has no understanding of that which he is listening. It’s sad when the idiots of the world run around giving their uninformed, unfounded, and just plain stupid opinions - all while maintaining anonymity. Go to hell, guest. Please, go to hell.

This is so beautiful...*deep sigh*
Just going through February's RPM Challenge songs... Upped the volume on the vocals a bit (hopefully not too much).
Great song about your doggy - Love the slide too.
great song!!
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.
I love my dogs. all 3. :)

Hey, cool collab, the slide guitar does sound excellent. The whole thing sounds great.
Booty job.
fantastic, mans best friend indeed. Big ol' shepard mix, yeah, I had one of those kind once, called him Max, your song is bringing memories to my mind. Thanks for this.
Any song about Dr.Who is alright in my books. This is a really great song, nicely recorded.
Now That's a great song! Nice collab guys!
beautiful song. and lucky Bandit: he who writes such music can't be a bad man..
Good one guys.
That was fun, thanks Keith. Now I wanna go out and adopt a puppy!
What a great song. Love the slide guitar too.
Oh yeah, MIGHTY collab, fellas!
superb work here man. Cool accent too. Guitar progressions and slides are *PERFECT*. Flows like a river...
Big thanks to Kavin for making this song more than I could have possibly imagined with his incredible slide guitar.

Definitely darker than the typical Gary Fox selection. Crazy production quality. Damn fine top five playlist, Gary.
...And one of these days you're going to make an all acoustic album. Or else.
This is one of the first of your songs I ever heard. Instant fan. Been stalking you ever since.
Love when the band kicks in. How have I not favorited this before?
I can see why you chose this excellent song for the ultimate Gary Fox playlist. Getting more and more jealous by the minute.
Yup. Definitely a top fiver. Such a ridiculously good opening riff... And then the song gets better. And better. And better.
Loved this from the opening note.
Dang, man. This is good. Like really really good.
I love this treatment of what was originally the roughest Landry demo ever recorded.

Man, GREAT to hear from Garn studios!!!
I ordered the fish and I got the stupid. Great album, Matt!
This is soooooo good.
"I still will buy him!" And the geek shall rule the Earth.
I was happy at the start, happier with the banjo, and sent to another level when the band kicked in.
Lin Manuel Miranda has nothing on you. Damn.
OUTSTANDING FROM THE FIRST NOTE. Holy crap, Matt. This is incredible.
Seriously, this is indi film soundtrack gold.
Dude, I love this from the get.
