Reg has succumb ...this being straight lark just isn't for him ....it's full of disappointment...at least he knows what to expect when he's high..... Pour the whiskey from the bottle fill the glass drain it dry say goodbye to all that sorrow…

Reg has been waiting for this day for what seems an age....and now it's here...Today is the day.... Today is the day Today is the day Today is the day Todays got to be the day i’m going to pack all those bad things in a suitcase and walk…

While on our European journey last summer, we stopped at an American Cemetery in between Venice and Florance Italy. It was a gray wind swept day, long rows of white crosses ran across a deep green grass field. I have read a bit about the allied…

Recently picked up an old Ovation 12 string for cheap and also the newer Boss octave pedal, so I had to do something with the new toys

It's never to late...to create.

I keep pushing the pedal down and nothing is happening....

For the Astro Mutt himself. Inspired by our dog Bear.

Remember that last level of old Nintendo games? Late at night stressed out screaming at the television just hoping you will beat the game? The stress? The anxiety?

RPM 2014

Wrote this and performed it for my mom's 70th birthday party. Our family is a bit crazy. FORTY-THIRTY Well, your birthday rolled around again The way all birthdays do And this year it’s a big one Once again you’re sixty-two I’m sorry…

RPM 2014 The trumpets here are Midi on my keyboard. I ran the signal through a heavy metal amp sim. Then set it in place with EQ and verb. Enjoy.

Two walkie talkies Pull over the cops Paid our monthly fees Then the money stops Tiny makeshift farm Cabbage, turnip greens Germans built this barn Fit for royalty Tumble in the weeds Hummingbirds and frogs Naked bumblebees Multi-coloured…

Cardboard box, congas, shekeré, kokiriko, no metronome.

RPM 2014 clenching teeth through an iron jaw your eyes are just slivers on your face rosy glow on your porcelain cheeks there is nothing not a trace happy, are you? losing sleep the weight is heavy you can barely keep afloat clenching…

RPM 2014 Get on your horse and ride.

Drum solos in five-four. Yep.

The title track to this year's RPM album. The lines actually forced themselves into being and then straightaway demanded that no other lines should be written. When the songs speak that loudly, I do what I'm told. OBJECTS IN THE MIRROR…

THE LIGHTHOUSE You hide an ancient soul Behind your tired eyes You keep a heart of gold Buried deep inside At least you tried Always in control Of what the world might see Has taken quite a toll You’re afraid that you might be Lost…

The Barn Storm (another band here on alonetone) is about as good as it gets. I had the fleeting idea last year that I should make an album inspired by the names of as many great indie musician friends as possible. This is the only one that…

Our contribution to the 2014 RPM Challenge.

Yeah,I know it's a long one,that's cause it was part of the "RPM CHALLENGE". The other thing is that February is my birthday month! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

I constantly need to remind myself that music doesn't need to be frantic, so I wrote a song about it, and ignored my own advice.

I wrote this in 2001, and wasn't a good enough player to create a releasable version. After 13 years and many abandoned attempts, I finally got it onto tape the way I yearned for it to sound all those years ago. This has been my Everest, and I…

You've heard the phrase, "fix it in the mix" right? This is my attempt. I am seriously burnt out on RPM. I'm not feeling it anymore. I'm not hearing it anymore. I'm not physically capable of playing well anymore. I recorded the guitar leads…

Part one of a little love story.

This is for my darling Tina, the most loving, caring, and beautiful woman I could've found.

Part two of a little love story.

OK, it's time for you to guess the artist to whom this is a tribute. This is the latest mix in my ongoing album project.
