Last of the archives for now. A set of reels from the Last Nights Fun album. I did pipes, whistle and guitar on the last tune in the set. There's a live version of this up here too. This is the studio cut

This song's going on 32 years old... Some 12 years older than I was when I wrote it!! I borrowed the title from one of my favourite madrigals, The Silver Swan by Orlando Gibbons: "The silver swan who living hath no note, when death approached…

Something tells me I'll be mixing this one again soon. The lyrics here are specifically about 9/11, but I guess it would apply to any major event. I was just listening to the accounts of people who were there at the time and comparing their…

Been away from Alonetone too long....website is still buggy but anyway.....just having fun with some new pickup switching mod's on my guitar.

"If answerable style I can obtain Of my celestial patroness, who deigns Her nightly visitation unimplor'd, And dictates to me slumb'ring, or inspires Easy my unpremeditated verse:" Paradise Lost: Book IX - John Milton

Ah! My favorite Saint. Tuned Congas, glass-beaded shekere and bass cajon. 4/4. BPM? Heaven knows. Had the headphones blissfully off for this one.

Let it Snow!

In Memorium Of: Carlos Heller El Guitarrista A song for a man that has played to thousands who passed him in church street whilst he busked with all his heart. This song is to pay tribute to a man that inspired me to play Live. I even had…

A song for whoever likes it. Erm, and it's not really what this life is all about - but don't ask me what it is about, or even why you want to know what it's all about....erm...rambling now.

Most of the lyrics written in 1999, a tough year. Many thanks to JB for his awesome screaming lead playing (done first take, I should add!!!) and to LadyJane for supplying some oooo's. (anyone needing some vocals - send her your song!)
