Alone On Christmas Once upon the end of every year well there Comes a time when we forget our fears And a childs face will light up for no reason Ho ho well it must be Christmas season Its been so long since i've seen your face it must…

Something i wrote and quickly recorded on Thanksgiving 2011. It will turn into something but it seems i must add two songs to make a playlist public? or something? i dont really know. but this is WIP, definitely.

HAPPY Happy is the anvil as the hammer strikes the blade A fleeting spark that fades out as the memory is made Happy is the spark when the hammer strikes the steel Before the spit has sizzled into a vapor trail And happy is the planner…

From down deep in the cellar last night .....A jazzy number straight out of the box .........a noodle that got ad-libbed.......

Electronic Dream #1 was made for the Internet Movie Project in 2002 that fell apart as I remember. All but the initial bright sweep which comes from the CZ-101 is from the Korg MS2000 analog modeling synthesizer. Excepting the Casio sample this…

Written in 1989 and performed ever since by the Sluggos, this song was also covered by Split Lip Rayfield and appears on their album "Never Make It Home." The one song in my catalog that draws any royalties.

This song is the only surviving track from a rock opera I wrote circa 1990. This recording was made by Mike Coykendall (currently playing with M. Ward/She & Him) at a May 1991 show at The Spot (RIP) in Wichita.

A protest song of sorts, regarding Vulcan Chemicals' disregard for the environment. Recorded in 1991 on four-track cassette as part of the never-released "Banana Syndrome" album. I play and sing everything on this one — perhaps my first recorded…

A lonesome tune from a lonesome time. Recorded in 1991 on four-track cassette as part of the never-released "Banana Syndrome" album. I played everything on this one.

This song was composed spontaneously while the four-track rolled during a monumental LSD trip in 1991. The background vocals and backward percussion were added the next morning before sleep came.

Written on Christmas, 1992, and recorded immediately onto four-track, this song was a gift. Midtown, Wichita.

More noise please! This one appeared on the 1993 Sunshine Family EP "Superbeetle," recorded by Chris Neal in the old Big Dog studios, Wichita, Kansas.

"Heavy without the metal" is how Jeff Eaton described the Sunshine Family's sound. You be the judge. This song appeared on the 1994 LP "Windbreaker."

Another solo four-track recording, this time from 1995.

After the breakup of Sunshine Family, Tom Page (the other guitarist) and I joined rockers Scott Mackey and Derek Ethridge to form Carganza. This song was from "Anomalon," my second attempt to write a rock opera.

I wrote and recorded this song the day Timothy Leary died in 1996.

This is somewhat contrasting to the general trend on alonetone.com, but it is what I do sometimes at work and is a good sample of my playing stile when it comes to house/live performances.
