Another "oldie but goodie" that had never really gotten the love it deserved... The original version came in at over six minutes (and even I recognize in looking back that it was WAY too long).
Written for a friend from days long past working in special needs summer camps... Now she's raising an autistic son, and doing an amazing job of it.
Still, none of it's fair.
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.

I have a soft spot for trains as well. In my hometown south of here I enjoyed the trains rolling by old route 66 all the time. Miss them some days.
Also really like the strumming pattern @ the :57 mark reminds me of the train horn

The title track for this year's RPM album. One mic. Live take. Please forgive the missed notes.

Writing while I drive with voices in my mind
Passed along by friends I’ve never met
Trying to stay alive in one place in time…
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…
Hey, great track, Peter!... And thanks for coming over to listen to some of my stuff... The tracks you tuned in to are seriously old and poorly performed, so please forgive the quality!
Wow... This is like the taking the Beatles' and Beach Boys' Greatest Hits and rolling them into one amazingly addictive song. Outstanding stuff, Peter... Keep uploading!!! Can't get enough of this good stuff!
Yes, I just did write a comment about this song... But it's that good... "Two-comment-worthy" as it were. Love the piano, especially at around 2:50, really clean, just great pure songwriting. One of those songs that you could play over and over again... So I will.
DREAMS OF THE OCEAN
Your kids'll be waking up in the morning
Just a couple of hours after mine have gone to bed
I've got the coffee warming
While dreams of the ocean are in your daughters' heads
I taught them all 'bout it late last evening…

Soon to be released on Amber's CD Album "Forever"
"When daylight stills to grey and all the world is silent, we listen to the stillness sounds..." Written just for Amber by Susan Evans McCloud and Richard W. Smith this paints a picture of a family…
4 stereo guitar tracks played out one at a time.
Another late night - early morning recording.
I like to keep a positive attitude about the things that haunt me, but sometimes dreams change course unexpectedly, and the worms creep in.
A moody solo acoustic thing that I came up with playing in a long forgotten tuning. Just got a new Zoom H4N, so this was recorded in my shop sitting at my reedmaking bench may 12 2009
Solo acoustic finger picking thing I've been working on for a while. Sometime around 1968 I started studying with Mr. George Bennett who taught me the rudiments of finger picking. Later when we played some gigs together he also taught me the rudiments…
Similar in feel to the other Fragile Moment track. Mostly acoustic guitars recorded sitting in my shop on the H4N and then finished up in Cubase just this morning. September 9 09. Maybe a nice one for bedtime
Comments on Keith Landry's stuff
This a good song, I like your lyrics very much and the way you pause then tap and carry on. Most effective.
So true and a lovely tribute to your friend.
Sweet song and album Keith, beauty in simplicity!
Ha ha! Most enjoyable lyrics Keith, I'm chuckling away and I don't even know who they are!
I hate F@#*in' baseball. Funny tune, much enjoyed!!
Listened to the entire album and loved all the songs. Now I have to figure out how to make room on my mp3 player. ER

Thank you for doing this song! I always agreed with you, but this tune brings it to the forefront. Well done! ER

Hey, great track, Peter!... And thanks for coming over to listen to some of my stuff... The tracks you tuned in to are seriously old and poorly performed, so please forgive the quality!
Wow... Great track! I need to find some time to listen to the am/fm dreams complete playlist.
Ah, great arrangement, Richard!
Hey Richard! Great stuff... LOVE the strings!!! Great "sit back, think, and feel" music for me... Just outstanding.
All right, now I'm really envious... Great stripped down rhythm guitar kicking into one of the catchiest songs I've ever heard. Just great stuff!!!
Wow, so this is how it's done. Very envious of the execution of these terrific songs. Simply a perfect simple track, this one... Well done!
Wow... This is like the taking the Beatles' and Beach Boys' Greatest Hits and rolling them into one amazingly addictive song. Outstanding stuff, Peter... Keep uploading!!! Can't get enough of this good stuff!
Another great song... Just terrific arrangement and harmonies. Brilliant!

Great to see this song up here on Alonetone... One of my all-time favorites!!! Really brilliant stuff, Peter.
Thanks to everyone for listening to this stripped-down first run of this song with Tess' amazing vocals.
Fave'd because of Tess' incredible vocals! Damn, that girl can sing.
Great as always, Colin! I've been hoping to hear some good new stuff from you, and this hits the spot.
Damn... Love this song.
Great little song!
Wow. I'm not sure how I happened into this beautiful song, but I sure am glad that I did. Beautiful voice... Beautiful arrangement... Just wow.
Great track!
Outstanding.
Well, I'll be downloading everything acoustic you have now... This stuff is incredible.
Soooooooo good.
