This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

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
Something completely different- Uilleann pipes(Irish bagpipes) and synth. I wrote this tune over 20 years ago in the style of traditional Irish slow airs. It was recorded way back in 1991 for an album that's been out of print for over 15 years…

This is gorgeous ... many, many take-your-breath-away moments. I didn't want it to end. And what a warm, shimmering tone you captured - great recording!
Kinda rough. I'm uploading this mainly to share a guitar technique I've been working on. I'm wearing a slide on my picking hand and using it to alter pitches in single line phrases. There's a lot more can be done with this technique that I've…

Straight ahead stone city electric blues for an old friend who used to spend hours spinning BB King and Mike Bloomfield records for me. Recorded back sometime at the end of 2006 on old analog equipment

An unusual traditional tune from the first Scartaglen album way back in 1984. Going through stuff the other day and ran across the LP and couldn't even remember the tune or having recorded it. I played guitar on this track

What happened after too much time on youtube watching live vids of "voodoo chile" Noisy obnoxious and very cathartic for me! Live to 2tracks with the Jamman
the first multi track piece that I actually finished "in the box" in Cubase. An ambient kinda thing that grew out of playing around with the Line 6 DL4. Not sure I like the bow parts, but I may re do it later
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

Wow - I closed my eyes and it became a soundtrack to a most beautiful and wonderful movie!
Wow! That's beautiful.
This is beautiful. It gets right into the center and tugs away.
Oh wow, this is fantastic ... heart-voice captured by music. Not many pieces bring a tear to my eye.
This is gorgeous ... many, many take-your-breath-away moments. I didn't want it to end. And what a warm, shimmering tone you captured - great recording!
Great technique, love the feel of it.
always my fav!!!
excellent track!!!!!
thanks for your support; MASTER KIRK!!!!!
Did you ever listen to John Renborne?
Wow got a real Blue eyed American approach to it . organ back + bass is spot on . Loved the stumbling drum kit
Got a Classic feel! Counterpoint, with triplets is really cool.
glorious as usual, Kirk. Glorious. Your stuff always hits a soft spot in my soul.
I think i need to go analog if it would make me play like this.......
more delay... :) missed this one....really nice
...And back again to listen to this little piece of perfection. Just magnificently played.
Outstanding track!
Fantastic! Wow!
Totally pro. Dig it!
Oh and the bow works just fine, i really dig it.

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
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!
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!
