On 10/27/2014 I uploaded this re-mastered version, dropping the first half of the vocals by 3dbs.

You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn…
Justin, The drum on STEPPIN' ON SOME TOES is just poking the bass drum and the snare drum keys on my midi keyboard. Then I quantize it to the 1/16, because I'm lousy at playing on the beat, add some reverb to it and then pull the volume down until it sounds like it's way back there somewhere.
Sweet dreams are made of these
Who am I to disagree
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want…
Lyrics and music by Hank Williams Sr., but my cover is in Dm/D, with guitar and bass tuned to Drop D.
KAW-LIJA
Kaw-Lija was a wooden Indian standing by the door
He fell in love with an Indian maid over in the antique store

LOCOMOTIVE BREATH
In the shuffling madness
Of the locomotive breath
Runs the all time loser
Headlong to his death
Oh, he feels the piston scraping
Steam breaking on his brow
Old Charlie stole the handle
And the train, it won't stop going…

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 was my first Alonetone collaboration with Louis Smit.
At the time, Louis was Last Salute Folk.
I'm adding this to song to my last CD because it was my first collab.
Thanks Louis.
Got a guitar for my birthday... I have been trying to learn how to play it. This is a cover of an old Smiths song I tried to tackle for Lesson 10 "Finger Picking."

O Hairy One
O hairy one............
May the hair that sprouts from your coarse velvet skin
Grow through my pores & cover my limbs
May the strength that lies in your shoulders & thighs
Pour through my soul in its hugeness &…
And now for something completely different...
Well, friends, I think I may have over-banjo'd myself the past 3 years. It's not abandoned totally or permanently, but since the weather turned I've been feeling the need to turn to something else…
Having a bit of an identity crisis.. not sure what I'm doing musically at the moment and here's the proof. Now mixed a little better.
I can't think of anything worth saying
I can't think of any other way to say it
I can't think of anything…
U Make It So Hard (to say goodbye)
Lyrics - Boudreau
Music - Mairano / Boudreau
I just cant shake it no
I cant fake it no more
I try to make
it but i just cant get out the door
I wanna break it but its something
i don't wanna pay for…
i see a light,
i see it, shining through,
like fire through the darkness,
through the gloom
i see myself, i'm rising up,
with a hand to raise me there,
to the sky and through the clouds,
to the blue
to the blue
i see a light shining…
One of my other hobbies is watching wildlife in the area. I'm the happiest with a pair of binoculars around my neck and my hiking boots laced up.
Rita and I took these photos over the last few days, near our home.

You did a little Marlin Manson like cover. Nice arrangement.
You got the touch. You & gene both.
Always loved this song. The strange buzz is perhaps gonzo attempting to amply the doctor.
How much fun it must be to recreate this old chestnut. What a time that was!
This is groovy.
Such a cool texture.
Old Hank! just a head! LOVE IT!!!!!
Nice rendition of an awesome song!
cool version man!
Dig this a lot - again very earthy, organic quality in what you do.
Nice cover with a sense of your own thing. Nice earth in this Justin.
Have y'all checked out the video?
Great version mate. Dig the guitar.
exploding the jet stream.
Cool.
Cool guitar

There should be a Wikipedia about you, one of humanity's greatest guitar shredder of all times.
Nice and Bluesy!
I like it ruff!

I never mastered finger picking, and I don't even try to fake it. Just not that coordinated. You're doing it right. Very pretty. Rock on!
Reminds me of the wacky works of post-Floyd Sid Barrett -- dig!
Rob, Laura, y'all made a great team with this one -- tasty!
This was a great fine for me, to learn you know your way about the KB and that you're not a banjo picker only. This is great! ROCK ON!
I'm into it!
GREAT SOUNDS, Y'ALL -- ROCK ON!
That was a cool 25 seconds -- I could do another 25 seconds of that!
Interesting.
Some mighty purty guitar pickin'!
I dig this. It has a sweet psychedelic element. Stay groovy!
Interesting -- intriguing, actually. Dark, bitter, thorny. I stayed tuned all 7 1/2 minutes, and I come back for another hearing -- it's captivating.
That was an interesting way of intriguing the ears for nine and one half minutes.
Freakin' yeah! DIG! Rock the hell on!
Gorgeous. Very sweet. Rock on!
How purty!
Wow! You can really compose. this is great stuff -- Rock on!
