The single coil sound of my new used PRS guitar just got me in the funk. Had this partial riff on a Sony walkman from 10 years ago, decided to fill it out a little.

A dark ambient piece built up from a drone that I created using Mangle. Best enjoyed loudly in a darkened room. For week 4 on weeklybeats.com.

A collab with LJ. You may have heard it with a Burnley accent. This is a softer version.

I did this as a way to practice singing....why I am trying to learn to sing at 64 is a little strange.... I wish I had leaned to sing when I was starting out..but I always played in band with lots of singers and never had to sing much…

This is an old song that I wrote a few years ago. I noticed it on my iPod this morning and thought it was fun to hear it again.

I'm doing just Fine with Buck Erpestad. Check out Bucks music here: http://alonetone.com/buck Here is what Buck said he added: "So I used the tremolophone (vibes) and tuba sounds in Garageband and played them on the keyboard."

Oh a lil bluesy feeling one night...so I threw this simple lil number down.

Some time ago whilst YouTubing, I stumbled across several videos of old seafaring songs or sea "shanties". Unbelievably, that triggered some very ancient RAM of elementary school music classes wherein we were taught several of these songs. And…

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

This lil Hendrix tune has been in my head lately so I decided to take a stab at it. Every time I attempt a cover of one of his songs I discover something new. This time it was his uncanny sense of phrasing and harmony within a blues context. It…

Thinking about and inspired a lot by trees lately. That, and the excellent film Rivers and Tides. Arboreal Drink in the sun Until the day is done Dance with the wind Circle of life has no end Roots into the ground Arms reach up to the…

Thought it was time to go Electric again !!! Many thanks to my mate Dave for the harmonica on this.

A little more somber than the original .......to say the least.......with the world band backing Reg....

No more sin or sorrow foolish fancy to a fault No more dirth upon the land that withers under the assault No more Babylon behavior bobbing up and down and up until we drown away each memory scattered from a shattered cup. No more crying for…

Capo at 5 - playing in Am position I got my standards. Oh, yes, I do Don't allow no smoking No tobacco chew Don't allow no boozin' Don't allow no grass If I catch you hurting yourself again I'll leave your ass Oh, yeah, you're pretty…

anti gravity metal (Sample = Jefferson Airplane- Today)

for my friend Alain.

A synth pop punk song with a cartoony twist. Energetic, up tempo, and full of surprises.

I made this song in fond remembrance of Kurt Cobain, who has been an inspiration for me musically. While there's no musical brilliance at work, I tried to retain the original tone of the song with a dirty little white noise in the background…

I tried my hand at merging Technical Death Metal with Black Metal and came up with interesting results. I wanted it to be aggressive and abrasive, and to completely forgo whatever subtlety it might have. When all was said and done, I named it…

early era recording 8 track thrash metal circa 96 I think this my second band, just before GTC

Play at maximum volume!

sometimes you just gotta get away...far away.
