From December 2017, my take on an old classic, with a little twist of a bonus number near the end. It may be the first tune I did in 6/8 time, at least that anyone has heard from me. This (sort of) should have a rolling highlands sound to it…
Well it's been awhile for me. Busy summer and a bit of creative block all around. I'm happy to share a song I wrote this weekend to reflect on how tough change can be when you're in the midst of it. So many in my life are in the midst of personal…

A darker reworking of a song by Parry Gripp.
A song about missing my wife when I travel.
lyrics
After all this time it comes down to this
You still excite me with every kiss
And every time you go away, I have to say
It makes for quite a long day
I hate it when I’m away from you…
We try to include a song about a donkey on each record. This is a factually accurate tale of Romulus, the world's tallest donkey.
lyrics
Romulus is 12 years old and 17 hands
At 5 foot 8 he’s taller than Oklahoma Sam
The world’s tallest donkey…
My son recorded this.

Someone has to clean up this mess. Sometimes it's me.
lyrics
Look at me
Large and in charge, taking down names
The way to be
In control of every part of your little game
Getting things done
you don’t have to like my method or tack…
I’m gonna go to the polls
I’m gonna go out, gonna go now go on and vote
Just to take part is a great start
Take heart, take heart
It may not be the end of the road.
Represent me
Your policies are resonating with me.
Won’t you…
It's tough making money in the music biz. Inspired by the song "Cake By The Ocean".

Mr. Keith Landry was kind enough to let me have a play around with the title track from his very excellent rpm album.. This was the outcome. If you haven't, check out Keith's album.. Tis truly a thing of beauty

WilSUN. Damn autocorrect.
Good stuff, Wilson! BTW I wrote a review of your album on the RPM site.
Love this one. Because let's face it, I don't need to be a millionaire; I'd settle on being a thousandaire.
Lol. "Mayor McChee$e" is the Conference of Mayors alias of one Tim Alexander of Letter Seventeen. Check out their killer stuff here on Alonetone.
