This is a live cut from an NPR radio broadcast back in 1988 while my Irish Trad group Scartaglen was on one of its first east coast tours. Found recently on a cassette tape. Musically this was one of my favorite periods in the history of the band…
From the archives. Traditional Irish slow air. Myself on the Uilleann pipes with synth backing. This was recorded at a concert here in Weston back in I think '92. Originally recorded on an ancient 4 track machine and then transferred to cassette…

This is excellent ... wow. What a great arrangement and fantastic, powerful playing. I love the entrance of different instruments along the way and the use of low, sustained drone notes. Most of all, though, I like the "soul" and liveliness of the piece. I would have loved to hear your group live!

Started out be an innocent little jazzy study in quartal harmony, but the DL4 was still in my signal path and things went downhill from there! Another done with my beloved '58 Stratotone

An experiment I recorded yesterday with a rig I put together for more or less ambient sounds using two loopers and nearly every effects unit I own. I have no idea who Clark was but he owned the '58 Harmony Stratotone that I used on this cut. His…
My old buddy and collaboration partner Phil Close joined me on what is at or near the last song for my last album. I wrote the song and sang--Phil did everything else you hear. Dance in the New Year.
Dance, Little Sister.
Dance till you…
This song is not for everyone but I like it because its a live recording with a single instrument using infinity delay FX. (I turned on the loop delay at :09 after the guitar was flat on the floor.)
All the sounds are made with an acoustic bass…
Well, this is a single minute of music around this wonderfull 'Angel Eyes' song. I hope you like and/or enjoy this miniature. Have a great 2011 alonetoners!

You live long enough... you take some real hits. And the only way to get on, is, to, "Pick myself up, walk down the long long road". Lifes real easy when it's all theoretical, but it's never been lived until the theories and philosophies are trashed…
A test track of sorts.
I typically mix a track, bounce it out to my ipod and then go for a drive. The stereo in my truck is kind of boomy and if I get the bass wrong, I'll hear about it. This has been a matter of a certain amount of guesswork…
I used sonar 8.5 matrix view to turn my M-audio 88es into a sampler keyboard - assigning samples to almost every key. Most of the samples are field recordings from today and yesterday - most of the others are recordings I made of a drumset I…
I did this last summer as I can hear a car go by my window. Anyway it's an old song by the great Hoagy Carmichael. I wanted to wait until I could redo the vocal part because I am not happy with it. It's just a scratch track and after I listened…
Co-written and performed with William Liggett. Tried to make it a 'duet', but not being in the same state--much less studio--made it too hard to match phrasing.
"High Life" is a musical genre that originated in Ghana in the 1900s and spread to Sierra Leone, Nigeria and other West African countries by 1920. My friends from that part of the world consider this be the "go-to" rhythm for just about anything…
Totally unique sound you've developed with these BL tracks. Great stuff! I have to wonder though how this went over at a place called "super happy funland". With that name I figured you'd have to dress in a clown suit and play the beer barrel polka!
Performed live by Rainbowtruth @ Irish Brigade Fredricksburg, VA circa late 1990's.
Barnett: Guitar/lead vocal
Osborne: Drums/back-up vocal
Duff: Guitar

Damn that gets my blood moving. real good.
Listened to the whole album and enjoyed your playing. Will be back for more. Happy New Year. ER
Still nice, one of my favorites. Is that a tune Seamus Ennis played? My Irish record collection has gotten quite dusty...
This so rocks! Must be from a few years before I met you.

Nice music, and I really like the way you started out .
Excellent!
Gone foot-tappin crazy here. See you for a ceilidh in March!
Lovely, fresh and frisky! Right up my lane! Well played all!
Thanks for sharing this one my friend. Great track.
Very nice Kirk!!
Beautiful!!
Great stuff, I bet that was fun. About the time I started getting into the "new" Celtic stuff.
Kirk This Lovely and Lively
Ooh!!!! What a find! A wonderfully uplifting, breezy piece! Happy New Year, Sir FS. (Interesting shades of Rocky Road To Dublin.)
Thanks for your comment on Strings mate Cheers Have a great New Year.
Real nice feel to this....
Have I told you lately that I love this little piece of spontaneous composition?
you create a nice athmosphere!

Kicks butt right from the start and doesn't let up. Nice work!
Wow! That is very cool in a free stream of consciousness way
That's really nice! Too short though- I was just getting into it and it was over. Love the mellow intro and then the flow into the heavier stuff.
Nice writing Dave! Love that shift of feel after 3 minutes
Oh Yeah! That kicks some major butt!
Lovely playing there!
However you did it this is beautiful!
Missed this one of yours. Great stuff! Love those little guitar bits in the background
Lovely sounds! Once again I'm envious of your clean tones.
Interesting stuff. Definitely thinking outside the box
Cool! Love those whispered vox in the background
Sweet!
Great piece of writing! Love the spare arrangement. Nice guitar!
Excellent! I find it interesting that in almost every one of these that you list the BPM I feel them in half time, so I would think of this as 110 BPM

Cool! Dig the double tracked vox!
Yes! Smoking hot cover of a great tune. Great guitar!
Interesting combination of sounds and textures. Nice work!
Aptly titled. Very Beautiful!
Gorgeous!
