Oh yeah. Like it. From the lyrics, it should be kinda depressing... but it's not, I find it really uplifting. So you could think, oh, the lyrics don't fit the music... but they DO!! I don't know how it works but it does. Love it.
I think I remember it? Mighty cool anyways. I'm kinda jealous, though - all my old ones aren't that easy to post here... they're all recorded on pieces of A4 paper, in the metaphorical "shoe-box" (actually, it's not not that metaphorical, it is a box, several actually, they've just never held any shoes)
A song that sort of wrote itself, quite quickly, wouldn't say it's a happy song, but
sometimes you can't help what pops out.

Hey Rodger I finally fixed my e mail mess and this popped up in alonetone. So well done’
The relaxed tone melts around the smooth feel.
Most good on you

I was asked (told?) to upload something happy. Hmmm, I thought. This will end well...
So, a few days later, I was rehearsing a pleasant little thing I wrote several years ago that has a working title of "She Was…
April rain storms are exciting but I am warm and cozy in side.

Empty Bottles…
Now let me see .... stress ... panic ... ooh that sounds good, I had them all, but one of the best experiences
I have ever had. Cheers to the next one. ( And yes I'm on the Wine )
Written for a zoom group of favored musicians to criticize but I thought about it and it sounds alright to me. lets see if they will just support or make it better.
Hummmmmmmm.
A true story romanticized a bit . Old Charlie is a real…
Steve developed this beautiful track with his ukulele and I added some lyrics to make a "positive message" song for the times we are in.... Hope it makes you smile too...
It Won’t Be Like This Forever
Sitting here on my front steps
Listening…
A strat and a slow minor blues are a go to for an overheard cell phone call.
The tone is pure strat wiggly bar juju. Thanks Robert Cray

A song I made up in retro style, just for a bit of fun ;- ) I used various guitars. It's partly sung in English and some of it in French. I try to do my own mixing, so don't expect too much LOL... Regardless, I hope you enjoy it ! Kind regards…
We wrote and recorded a new song while we are all on lock down...have really missed playing with the band. Lindy wrote the song and recorded his part at his home studio sent it to me and I added my parts and vocals Our studio is behind Ken's house…

**All I Have To Do - A A J Russe**
There isn’t much time to get this out
You won’t hear me if I have to…
Well this is from a challenge,' write one with the word glass seems simple -straight away.
THE PROBLEM WAS THE VOCAL . TOO SHY TO SING!
MY friend on alonealonetone told me just sing it dummy
so I did that. Thank You you know who…
Another early track in 2016 I was trying to express the sense of freedom I get when I play guitar. It is this type of freedom that led me to start teaching and the freedom continues to grow. Another track from my 2016 self titled debut.
Here's the first of several versions that you'll see from a collaboration across the inter webs started by Greg Connor. He got us together on the Zoom and then look what happened!!!! Music and lyrics collaborated with the talents of Steve Krell…

Sounds like you have got the blues back :)
Must take swimming lessons!!! Good song indeed...
It works for me
Rainy days are good for naps but they can certainly mess with your head. Good song Roger! I like the ending, “Don’t let me down”
You possibly shouldn't trust my judgement, though... In the 90s, I used to listen to "The Wall" to cheer myself up!!!
Oh yeah. Like it. From the lyrics, it should be kinda depressing... but it's not, I find it really uplifting. So you could think, oh, the lyrics don't fit the music... but they DO!! I don't know how it works but it does. Love it.
Oh yes... This is wonderful. The guitar sound is soothing and expectant. The sentiments in the lyric - yesss (or "Nice" lol)
Excellent That tuning is working. More please
A cool breeze....
I only really know the Thin Lizzy version... and this one!
Nice one.
Lovely!!!

Is that a mandolin? Nice song.
Ahhhh ...... The good old days!

I like both. This one sounds more summery though!
Sounds summery to me.... off to find the other one

Not happy, indeed... but heartfelt. Life is way too short indeed. Love this one.

Sounds to me like a song ' The Child Catcher ' should sing, Ha Ha, creepy but happy all at the same time, love it.
Great stuff !!! Great groove.
Yes ....... love it, you took me away.
Now let me see .... stress ... panic ... ooh that sounds good, I had them all, but one of the best experiences I have ever had. Cheers to the next one. ( And yes I'm on the Wine )
