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
Kirk, my name is Don Powers, I live in weston, on 5th st. Long time ago I stopped out side your house because I saw you playing through you window. We talked for a while then one other day you let me come in and I was going to try to jam with you , a mistake as I am no where near the musician you are. I just stumbled on to your web site. Glad I did. enjoyed listening. Maybe someday before I croke I will improve enough on one of the instruments I try to play, to get another chance to jam with you. Nice site.

This is a Phil Keaggy tune. I swiped his original loop and then built my own thing on top of it. Might have been longer, but my volume swell effect keeps slipping out of sync with everything else. May work on it more at a later date
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!

Yesterday I was able to capture the Fractal Tune Smithy midi stream of an "on the fly" relay re-tuned performance in Sonar 8.5 by use of LoopBe1…
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

Whoah, awesome stuff.
Killer track Kirk, do love new toys....
Love it. Gotta do something like this. Best thing I've heard today. Love the way it develops.
I enjoyed that, easy on the ears.
Lovely feel to this track and very very funky.....love it
Awesome and way better than the new Davey Spillane...not pure shyte!
Yay for new toys! Awesome stuff. Love that super-wide 12-string tone!
Such a sweet groove, and all those tasty licks everywhere... Wow!
Kooh....this is sweet..nice textures over that riff...nice modal soloing.
Great playing and mixing.
..nice, brother
Nice, clean and funky.
Nice combo. Those Ov 12's seem to be making a resurgence. I almost bought one a few months ago but the owner and I couldn't agree on a price.
Dang.

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!
