hold a census/ and a samba no one cares/ about uganda do you wanna/ marijuana its the cola/ of the nation

This is probably to personal, to raw to put here, but I've been listening to some pretty courageous stuff here in alonetone. This is more of an occurence, a onetime performance, more of a memorial, than a recording. My dad had died recently, I…

An ambient beacon for the weary soul.

A pop song without the 'ular' about the struggle of the addict and the feeling of obsession.

Power outages, deadlines, and needing to leave home. A Girl Named Sam lends some beautiful vocal harmonies.

All right, so one of those silly songs needed to find its way onto the album. In an effort to teach the students on my middle school team about rhythm in poetry, I wrote this little bit of foolishness about a fictional character (so yes, you…

Three years ago, I brought my two youngest up to the summit of a local mountain (actually, we went up Shelving Rock Mountain, but that song wouldn't be as good). Have a listen to see how that hike went.
