Eyes they have, but they see not, ears they have, but they do not hear, a mouth they have, but they can not speak...And those worshiping them will become just like them. You did justice to this piece Rick.
The sleep is still in my eyes
The dream is still in my head
I heave a sigh and sadly smile
And lie a while in bed
I wish that it might come to pass
Not fade like all my dreams
Just think of what my life might be
In a world like I have seen
I don`t think I can carry on
Carry on this cold and empty life
My spirits are low in the depths of despair
My lifeblood spills over
"...I have not left this cave for days now, it has become my last refuge in my total despair. I have only the music of the waterfall to comfort me now. I can no longer live under the control of the Federation, but there is no other place to go. My last hope is that with my death I may pass into the world of my dream, and know peace at last."
2112 part VI: Soliloquy
The protagonist returns to the cave and broods for "days". He imagines "what my life might be in a world like I have seen", and now considers life under the Federation "cold and empty", with his spirits "low in the depths of despair". He resolves that, in order to "pass into the world of my dream, and know peace at last", he must take his own life— his narrative ending as "my life blood spills over."
One of the most famous soliloquies in literature is Hamlet's where he contemplates suicide, saying "To sleep, perchance to dream". The title of the song movement indicates a similar struggle where the protagonist chooses the liberation of spirit "that with my death I may pass into the world of my dreams, and know peace at last".
ONE TIN SOLDIER
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on a mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it…

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…

I used to play this in my High School band while shaking the hair out of my eyes.
Ahhh … . . *Those were the days*
Now I play mostly acoustic and I never worry about my hair getting in the way.
Progress? Maybe not, but it's still fun to think about.
Thanks for the memory

My version of a Neil Young song.

There's colors on the street -- Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet -- People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead
There's a lot…

Since my baby left me
I found a new place to dwell
It's down the end of Lonely Street
At Heartbreak Hotel
You're makin' me so lonely, baby
I get so lonely, I get so lonely, I could die
Though it's always crowded
You still can find…

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."

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.

My psychedelic folk version of the 6th movement of the 2112 suite by the extraordinary Canadian progressive metal power trio called RUSH.
Soothing smiles of mercy. There's definetly some sad taste behind this. I like it
Growl! IAA

There should be a Wikipedia about you, one of humanity's greatest guitar shredder of all times.
Nice and Bluesy!
I like it ruff!
"Whether you are a Christian, whether you are a Muslim, whether you are an atheist, you will demand your goddamn rights!" ~ Egyptian protester
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!
