Once in a nightmare
I knew you then
I think we were related,
I'm not sure
maybe we were strangers.
We'd look in windows and climb
the trees that grew,
and if it'd rained outside
we'd take off our shoes.
And when I'd see you
I would…
This song was written after I had watched a documentary about Jonestown, which featured music from their choir. They were very talented and I couldn't help wondering if any of them had survived. I'd like to think that there were a couple of 'em…
I hope Brian (one of us Proods) will forgive me for posting this before we could get together to work on it further. He first played it for me a few months ago and I've been obsessively tweaking it every chance I could get.
I like to imagine…

Summertime in Boston, and this little tune is about how it goes by way too fast. Some hilarious chatter between the guys before and after they kick of a pseudo-psychedelic groove that I hope you will enjoy.
Awesome... is this one of your usual singers? The mic has a thinner, spacier country air to it that sounds real nice on her voice. Kinda gives it the illusion of being higher pitched or something, I like it.

Done by the Blind Boys of Alabama and Johnny Cash but NEVER like this. The base for this song was constructed from home made samples, including the sound of a 9mm Sig Sauer being fired. Bass was my first attempt at using a synth (Massive).
My apologies to Ray Willie Hubbard. This sounds nothing like his great version of this. All instruments played by me, in studio.
This was before I discovered the usefulness of a pop filter.
Here is my contribution to the latest song writing challenge posted in the Alonetone Forum.

Who Knew when I first met you
That all your troubles would be mine
And you’d be coming around again…
from the Poisonous EP
look at that face in the mirror
same one you had before
harder to recognize these days
time has not been kind
still a ways to go
better hurry up
don’t let it slip away
ok is not enough
you gotta take a chance…
Imagining my band imaginary band in my head on one of those 60's type music shows. Just having fun with this one nothing too serious lyrically like solving world peace or finding high consciousness ..although it really is a true story.
A track coming off my new Mixtape "Sounds of an Unknown Stoner" that is prod. and written by myself! I basically speak on how unfair the police can be and how I just want to be chill and high.
I was down at the station
Catch the Greyhound to Go My Way
And I heard the loudspeaker
We’ll be leaving some time today
You just Say no thank you
When I ask you to be mine
I’ll be looking for that green light
When I ask you the next…
Chris sent me over this track and i got to wondering what i could do to add to it. The tragedy of the Russian plane flying back from Egypt came to mind .....
CHAOS
The chaos of our time
rules our minds
The crazy
trust in chaos
Chaos will…
First totally self-indulgent solo work in ages. Started as something to prove I can still make time while I'm in nursing school, and turned into one of the best things I've done in years.
What happened to the colors of expression in the arts? I miss the 60's and 70's. Enough said.
Notes from my rock and roll music theory class...
Find a riff and milk it! Check .
Find a four chord bed of lettuce to put that wonderful salad…
This is a beautiful emotional song telling the sad story of the singer. It describes the emotions of the singer in a precise way.

:-) Hey Steve, I play bass too. Cool to hear your work. Likin' it.
Love the groove, and this is GREAT writing!
Good vibez
Cool old style rock vibe.
OMG! How fun to hear your wonderful music again!!! Love this one. Hope all the Proods are well in this world.
I like this....it's like a mix between the Dead Milkmen and the Monkees!
Hi Proods!
This was a good one.
~Hi Proods~
For a moment I was back in 1966. Good work!
Yes! A MONKEES song, for sure.
Interesting sounds. Cool chord shifts.
This is cool, I don't think I've heard it before. It's a bit more like the Rain Parade (Paisley Underground sound) than your other stuff.
Awesome... is this one of your usual singers? The mic has a thinner, spacier country air to it that sounds real nice on her voice. Kinda gives it the illusion of being higher pitched or something, I like it.
Very Velvet Underground. Thanks:) NM
Yep :)
This just sounds like fun.
Like the vibe
Like it
Fun indeed! A great way to start the day with upbeat tunes!

Awesome...It's like the theme from the Blade Runner and the theme from Barny Miller had a rock and roll blues baby.
SUPERB! I'm downloading this mother!
Great voice.
Love this...soulful and artistic.
Bluesy! PERFECT!
Very good.
Really great. Reminds me of a track from a John Hughes movie. Bass guitar is perfect!
Well done.
Amazing....
Very clever lyrics and nicely mixed.
The harmonica playing on this track is perfect. Real bluesy!
Proods love you....never go away!
Great cover!
Cool
I like this...I wish it was longer. A 10 minute version would hit the spot.
Bravo...I love the bass on this track. Amazing lyrics.
I like this very much...it reminds me of 80's alternative music that I still really dig.
Another download...60's and 70's were the ACME! You nailed it!
I had to download it to dig it, but it was well worth it. VERY COOL track!
You're on your way!
