MAD AND SAD AND SCARED
I just want to get by for a friend
This is not how I would want to end
Mad and sad and scared
In everything I've shared
That is all I leave behind me
This is all I am
Hope I find a way
To kiss you every day
That…
MID SUMMER
A mid-Summer's night's dream
The days are slipping by
Amid the rushing stream
I take the time to cry
The end is hurling near
I stand with open arms
I sing the tunes I hear
While falling for her charms
She is why I'm…
WALKING ON THE MOON
See the Earth on horizon
Watch the Earth as she's arising
I hope the living are gazing
I hope the people are loving
Feel like I'm walking on the moon
I think I will be on there soon
My body's going to set me free…

Oops, guess I wasn't logged in before. I must have used all brain cells recording the song. Anyway, I had a lot of fun with this, and as you said, we've all been friends for a long time.
Remember Terry's radio station? It's been a lot of enjoyment.

I'm getting a real kick out of everyone's contribution to this number. I've always appreciated Steve's sweet picking skills, Greg's sweet vocals, and Terry's not-so-sweet, serious, in-your-face way with lyrics. I've been wanting a recording featuring the 4 of us for like 7 years now. I'm so tickled that it's finally happened. Hopefully now that the horsemen have come together, this doesn't lead to the Apocalypse! Thanks, guys -- y'all did awesome!

Instrumental fusion of an Asian-flavored pentonic scale with a G minor-based American Blues scale. The Asian scale is a D 5th version of the Koto scale, performed using the Pan Flute setting on a Yamaha E313 KB, while the Blues scale is performed…
I got up nice and early this morning thanks to Seb ....so i got the acoustic out and came up with this one ....Don't ask me why....
the innocence of a lie
the reason behind the why
the sigh of regret
at that moment of death
why
why
oh…
Thanks to Robert Palomo for giving this a little sound engineering. Robert said " I mixed thru my mastering plugin (Ozone 5).

To help you through…
I recon this is my favorite Connor tune thus far. That is some coolacious strumming -- quite nifty in fact. The vocals and harmonica are exceptional. Yeah, this one really does in for me.
Finally, at last... I've got something finished...
Been working on this for a few weeks.
A bit of a rocker... (and an aging lecherous one at that)
I got it as close as I could and then mixed it loud... I've over-cooked it slightly - but…
Brilliant. Great music and awesome lyrics. You're very gifted, very talented. Love the vocals and the mix down/mastering job in particular. You ROCK -- Rock on!
Don't Be Frightened
Don't Be Scared
Think of all those times we shared.
Don't you know we all lose all we ever dared love.
From the window, a view
Of a young me and you
Don't you know we all lose all we ever dared love.
I heard a rumour in…
Jeb Holmes - guitar, Barry Canipe - bass, James Shelton - sax, Matt Williams - organ, Pat Holmes - drums. Recorded in the summer of 2002, it was blazing hot in Raleigh the week we were there. Celebrated Jeb's 15th birthday during recording.
There's a lot of weirdness going on here.
First, King's X has a song on their Dogman album called "Go to Hell". It's 30 seconds long and it's balls to the wall and just when you start to feel the groove it ends. I thought I might try something…
An old one remastered. Thought I'd be posh and call it that !!!! Didn't realize I wrote this 7 years ago, it is a bit of a rant, quietly !!! I apologise in advance if any one is offended by the Lyrics, just my opinion !!!!
Roger, this is Gene Eric Mann, using one of my alternative accounts on AloneTone (4 altogether). Anyway, you've done it again (although this is 7 years old for you, it's new to me). I love the way you write and record -- you've been one of my all-time favorites ever since I found you on ezFolk. This is a great tune. Hey, do you still have a copy of the song about the guy escaped from jail that you did to an instrumental track I composed? I'd dig hearing that one again.
Capo 2 in C
This is a true story. Cody even permitted me to use his name.
Cody is a cowboy, a horseman, that’s for sure
Traded in his guitar for long John underwear
Every day he pulls his boots almost to his knees
Oh, Cody is a cowboy…
This would be a cool sound track for a '60s B-rated Sci-Fi movie about invading 50' tall green Robotic Amazon Martian (RAM) women with ray guns. But really, I'm digging this. I'm at the 6 minute mark and going all the way. Stay groovy!
Collaboration with Freight Drive Reprobates (music) and Darkarma (lyrics).
Don't think it's my best, but it's been hanging around for so long, I needed to get it out so I can move on to the next one :)
Enjoy!
It was about time I got on with musical expression. This song is about our interconnectedness. Our identity. Serious mystic stuff eh? Yeah - wait until you hear it - haha.

Lots of fun guys! Thanks for the great idea.
Y-all got my love on this effort guys, I'm impressed and delighted. When and if I'll be happy to do it again.
By god that's darn near radio quality(grin) It sounds good to me.

Especially dig the choice bass lines, but its all good.
Nice strumming style, interesting chord choices, cool vocal delivery, good lyrics -- an all-around fine composition. Good job -- Rock on!

A great, Classic Rock-style song -- vocals, guitar, lyrics, vocals, everything! Rock on!
Brilliant. Great music and awesome lyrics. You're very gifted, very talented. Love the vocals and the mix down/mastering job in particular. You ROCK -- Rock on!
Interesting -- painting imagery with sounds. Abstract and sur-real, with textured strokes, dark tones, and bitter-sweet flavors. A fuzzy feel. Groovy!
You call it crap, but I like it.
Clever arrangement -- dig! Stay groovy!
Love the music, the vocals, and especially the lyrics -- Rock on!
Good stuff, nice sounds, great talent. Rock on!
Cool! Interesting. Rock on!
I DIG! Freakin' groovy, man! Love it -- Rock the hell on!
Nice bass work! The mix down came out groovy. Great job -- Rock on!

I dig westerns, and I like this music and the way you strum and sang it. But the lyrics, the story told, is quite sad.

Out of the box and a few yards away. Groovy beat. Important message. Not long enough! Rock on!
This one's a really cutie!
Came back via one of my alternative AloneTone accounts to fave the song again -- love it!
VERY GROOVY, VERY COOL!
