I do three things after waking up these days: I shower. I make coffee. I play this song and drink my coffee. Nothing complicated. Nothing fancy. Just some basic fingerpicking to test my motor skills and bring some aural sunshine into my day.

runway girls and highway crime

But don't bring me

Beer fueled rock n roll!!!

On Wikipedia I read this about the great jazz pianist Bud Powell: "...his solos could be heard to emulate the horn players' attack — with the use of frequent arpeggios punctuated by chromaticism," so the first thing you hear is a lick that uses…

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.

Not up to Avalon standards but I had fun making this. (for week 3)

Just came up with a funk groove so I could shamelessly shred over it for fun.

Inspired by the inability to sleep

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…

*Renamed again* Gotta deal with that.

I took some phrases from Bach's work "Prelude No. 2 in C Minor (BWV 847)" and added some other stuff. Hope you like it.

A live in the cellar version....just me and old Joanne.................

Anyone who knows me realizes I dig electronic music....yet have no idea what I am doing when it comes to creating it! This is just some groovy randomness messing around with new studio equipment.

Well, screw the metronome, damn the torpedoes, and grab a capo! Sometimes the best versions are the ones played fast and loose. Hope you enjoy this song adapted from one of my all-time favorite poems (I'm a bit biased since my dad wrote it…

Forget the first person, it's time to tell stories.

The last track I wrote in Santa Fe, New Mexico before moving back to Hawaii.

Rough and Slow acoustic version of the more poppy [lifeline glu and sudara collaboration](http://alonetone.com/doublemeanings/tracks/lifeline). If you like 4 minutes of the same 3 chords, you'll LOVE this song. Now that I have two microphones…
