HANDS UP DON'T SHOOT
Don't you wear a hoodie -- No walking in the street
Armed with bags of Skittles -- There's killers on the beat
Hands up in the day time -- And never out at night
Don't be selling menthols -- No breaking up a fight
All…

HERE I AM
I've got troubles with my kidneys
My cholesterol is high
Swollen is my prostate
And my pancreas is fried
Well my blood pressure is boiling
And I really should be dead
Kiss my woman good-bye
Just before I go to bed
- But…

EARTH
Humanity, you're blowing this
Good planets, hard to find
Insanity to wipe us out
To earn another dime
No use it is to build a house
Upon a dying land
We live upon a warming earth
Why don't we understand?

LIFE
The art of life, it lies between
Hanging on and letting go
I didn't ask to be alive
It's the best life that I know
So we are here, so let us be
Adding to the gripping tale
The universe can know itself
As we journey on our…

THE BEST I'VE FOUND
A ray of sun, an act of grace
A bit of song, a smiling face
Can lift me from dispair
And when I'm lost in yesterday
I find a kiss along the way
Will bring me here from there
A super moon, a darker blue
A purring…
Sweet song.
My song CODY'S SURPRISE is not a made up story.
I waited for a couple of years for Cody to write the song. He's a horse trainer singer/songwriter friend of mine living and working in California. Finally decided to write it for him. It was quite a trauma for him. His cowboy name is Cody Pendant.

FEEL THE TIME
Feel the time is rushing by,
I feel the time is near
Feel the time is crushing down,
I feel the time is here
That is how the world goes round,
that is how it goes
Just a question, when and how,
and that no one knows…
GOOD-BYE
I don't want to say good-bye
But I have to go
Catch the train that's heading West
Do another show
I don't want to make you cry
There's no other way
Give your weary head a rest
Carry on the day
- Don't know how to say good…

I'm mad, sad and scared for you, man. But, you have the right attitude and I hope that we can get together and play on the other side. Look for me. I feel honored to have played with you and will keep your tunes on my playlist… be thinking of you every time i listen… so, you will live on in the hearts of many in a cool way. That's a great legacy to leave. Peace!
This recording was revised 8/7/2014 with sound effects (train and whistle) and wah-wah guitar.

Of the story of a man

People called him Danville Dan…
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…
Interesting -- I like it! Would make for a great background track for a segment of a scary sci-fi movie, like while Earthlings are exploring an abandoned but seemingly haunted alien space-faring vessel.

When you're asleep they may show you
Aerial views of the ground,
Freudian slumber empty of sound.
Over the rooftops and houses,
Lost as it tries to be seen,
Fields of incentive…
THIS IS A SUPER COOL RECORDING! But when I tried to play the video, I got this message: "An error occurred, please try again later." Thought you might like to know.
Hey, man, fab guitaring! This is a slick production. You recorded this well. Love everything that's happening. Very professional mix down. You really know what you're doing. I'm pleasantly surprised.
This track was created as part of the October 2010 Alonetone 24 hr challenge. The challenge is to make 24 minutes of original music in one 24 hour period.

Came up with this chord progression on the bass one day and hit record for the hell of it. Came back to it and decided to throw a quick lil melody over it. I think this is going to close out the "Just a minute?" playlist so I can move on to music…
Unless my math skills have failed me, this is song #50 and 50/90 is complete! WOOHOO!
This song broke my one 50/90 rule... sort of. The rule was that all ideas get used immediately. Nothing gets dropped and everything I try stays. The idea…
No cries

Well I seem to have a few songs with dreams and oceans in them. But then I do live on the ocean.... and I do dream ... daydream. I bought a cheap yamaha acoustic guitar from a garage sale for $50 and decided to try recording a song with it. I…

Sounds like your fingers were stretch to the max in order to reach a few of those notes!
Interesting -- I like it! Would make for a great background track for a segment of a scary sci-fi movie, like while Earthlings are exploring an abandoned but seemingly haunted alien space-faring vessel.
Right on!
Very interesting lyrics! I dig all the vocal tracks and how they work together. The pitch perfection is remarkable!

You sure have a great handle on how to use sounds to entertain and delight the soul!
I've always dug multi-genre fusion, and you've pulled it off nicely. That bass is really happening. Stay groovy!
I dig your sound and style. You're clearly, brilliantly talented. What a great, fabulous production -- excellent! Rock on!
Hey, man, fab guitaring! This is a slick production. You recorded this well. Love everything that's happening. Very professional mix down. You really know what you're doing. I'm pleasantly surprised.
An interesting composition, Sweet vocals, smooth vocals, thoughtful lyrics, nice mix down work.
Too brief -- such choice guitar work needs more room to spread out and engulf the listener's soul.
Nice rift. Trolls -- what a great idea to sing about. Choice lead guitar chops. Rock on!
This was a fun listen!
I dig your approach to keyboard improvisation -- it really works for my. Stay groovy!
A cool collection of sounds, stitched together quite nicely. Good mix down/mastering skills revealed here. Good job!
Great music, good vocals, fabulous lyrics, nice bass run. Digging the message. A brilliant, tasteful anti-war song -- Rock on!
I've been fond of the sound of the cheap Yamaha acoustic since the mid-'70s. Gorgeous mix down -- Rock on!
A mighty tasty groove!
A hauntingly gorgeous composition.
Epic, gorgeous.
