Recorded for RPM 2011 (http://rpmchallenge.com). Recorded in February 2011 in Tempe, AZ.

Our lovely cat Minimini is such a nice cat. She loved to go outside with me in the snow. And so I had to make some music and video with her. This was in January 2010

This is a Ralph Mctell song , a very underated British singer / songwriter , probably famous for one song , The Streets of London , but in fact wrote many great songs , he wrote this while working on a building site before he was signed by a record…

A nine-minute meditation piece. Gear: Roland JX-3P, Korg Monotron, acoustic guitar, soprano & alto recorders, bamboo flute, and junk percussion samples.

A guy I know never shuts up long enough to listen to what I have to say. He is singing it, I'm playing it. Love you Jim.

For this one I went for a more honkey-tonk feel. I put away the electric guitars and let the old piano have the center of the stage. ER

Prayers to the folks in Japan, We dodged a bullet in Hawaii!

Two ambient guitar tracks recorded independently and stick together. I broke my rule of not using distortion on a BL piece, for the first time, believe it or no.

Keith Landry used his considerable vocal talents on this song, and he made a decent song sound great. I added one or two harmonies, but the lead vocals are his. I think he did a great job. What do you think? ER

Get on your bellbottoms, and get out on the floor. There's more to the song than you realize, but just dance baby, just dance.

Hello 1977! This song sounds like 1977 to me. So, I totally played it up, right down to the reverb on the vocals. Enjoy.

Originally meant to sound more Hendrix-ey, this one informed me that acoustic was the way to start. As always, the song was right, I was wrong.

Songs sometimes are best left to the listener. This is one of them.

It's about a few folks, some known, some known to me. I liked the chunkiness of the chord that starts it, but wanted to do something a little more 'spacey' than a pure rock number. It's all true too.

This song started as the riff on my Strat while fooling around with some FX. I knew it needed to be a big dance number, and then realized there is a great story about the power of music and dance, which I hid in the lyrics. See if you can figure…

My contribution for Johnny with Norms excellent percussion. I've given it a bit of an Indian twist.......

For the lyrics I tried to "paint a picture" rather than tell a story or make a clear point. I was thinking of Caroline No by the Beach Boys about a girl who suddenly lost the glow of youth. The lyric is not quite succesfull but... it will have…

Tried to keep this one straight up the middle

This song is all about everyday life. working all week and living for the weekend.

The piano track is a mangled version of the already-mangled piano from the previous song ("The Saucers Arrive"). The plan was to try to improvise in a way that was somehow rhythmically compatible with the skittering piano track. The guitar track…

This is a collaboration with a prolific chap called James Higgins (oldrottenhead on songcrafters.org), based on an instrumental of mine from a couple of years ago: http://alonetone.com/andyr/tracks/muletide I was quietly minding my own business…
