Wow... This has got the Awesome Factor big time! I let my kid do some Synth for one of my tracks the other day... There is nothing in the world greater than Being able to share time like this with them! I think is is amazing that this is a poem that you heard as a Child as well, and are now recording with your own children.. Warms The Heart Bro! A Wonderful and Well Performed track! It's really Spooky as well! Bonus!! :) Well Done All!! Peace T(OsCKilO)

What a great gift to share with your kids. The drums are done superbly...as is all of it. They will have and cherish this forever....

Talk about original! This was fun to listen to. Thanks for sharing.

your tech. is great. I like the title too! lol. Although I wouldn't wanna surf naked in parts of florida now....that oil spill.

being so high up in those awesome blueridge mountains must be good for the musical soul. :) Thanks for sharing.

great playing! What kind of mics did you use to get such a crisp sound? And..by the way, wouldn't it suk if aliens came and used our skin for drums? lol

I'm a percussionist first and foremost so I love this. Awesome jungle jam. Those congas sound nice and full.

You're funny. I just hope now that his child has had a taste of the caribbean flavor, that he doesn't go to pot.

How did I miss this? Very cool and original - No idea how you managed to perfectly sync with the piano. Love it, though. (And yes, it was a while ago, but I still miss my dog. You never get over it do you? But I really see the humor in a sad dude pining away over his lost dog, too!)

I really enjoyed this. I always read alot to my kids, so I understand the special relationship between the favorite books and the kids and parent. And I love that you included them, still kept the artistry serious, and produced a good product.

When I was young, I remember dreaming about what I called "jungle drums"; I'm not sure why. I dreamed your song...long ago in the depths of some astral flight apparently. Thanks for recording it.

very nice!

My Dad played the drums, ha, I thought he did! This is tribal indeed, there's a little tinkle in there too, nice touch.

Thanks Norm for listening! looking forward to hearing Jarvis lay a guitar down on Surf Naked!

Jarvis, yes it does have a "Wipeout" sound to it - I was trying to get that sort of vintage surf music feel into a drum pattern. Now if I can only find a guitarist to do that quick decending "doodle-loodoo-loodle-loodle-loodle-loodle-loodle" surf guitar lick at the very beginning... what in the world do you call that cool sound anyway?

This has a Bluesy feel to it that is screaming out for a guitar to play over.

Nice sort of Spanish sound to this ,makes you want to weave and flick your hips.....owwww me backs gone !!!

This has deffo got a 'Wipeout' Sound to it which will be interesting to somehow avoid in a gtr track.Imay have a stab at it. Nice drumming.

tight, and sprinkled with some interesting perc's brotha !

You got my groove goin' :) Very cool! w;-)

I like the drum work that you have added to this. "We speak in different time signatures" = brilliant!

I have adored this song since I first heard it over a year ago. It's great to have you on Alonetone, Liam!

Listened to the entire thing this morning. Wonderful! Production comments?

Rocks! I'd love to see you guys live. How do I get tickets?

Your harmonies are always amazing! Thanks!

I still adore this.

The guitar, bass and trap-set are working well together on this. I like it! If that's not enough to make her stay, you are better off without her. Didn't I already add percussion to this? Yep - that's definately my head banging against the wall in the back-ground.

The emerald green essence turns to the color of a Monarch’s chrysalis and the dripping sugar swirls into a gentle cloud. As your guitar carries me away, I smile and turn to the nonchalant fairy sitting next to me, who hands me a rather large bottle rocket.

Thanks for loading my cabinets up with such tasty awesomeness!

Yep, Byrne-ish indeed!

Awesome! Your mom must be proud!

@Richard: Guilty as charged. But what happens on AloneTone stays on AloneTone. We're glad you are here! @Sis: All of my beats are grabbable. That's what they're here for... I'm happy to steal a pumpkin for you any time. My patterns are alot like pumpkins: you don't have to ask - just grab one and run. I thought you guys may be ready for a straight forward 4/4 pattern to play with instead another of my rhythmically esoteric patterns.

Are you playing the dig on this one by any chance?

I wonder how many days a month they would let me get away with going in there and jamming for awhile? "Hey! Would you guys mind holding off on the over-head customer service announcements? I'm recording here!!"

Brilliant! I'm usually asked to leave Sam Ashe after a couple hours of playing on all of their cool percussion toys. Surprisingly, some folks don't have an appreciation for extended drum solos... and some might even be inclined to give you a nasty look if you just laugh when they ask you to stop. Note to self: save the gong trials for the last.

Yes! One of your best yet. Awesome is the correct word.

Ha! This is just what I had in mind for this pattern... and delivered most excellently by a real life surfer: perfect!

Sweeeet!

whoops! Forgot to log in for that last comment...

Hey, isn't that George Burns?
