This is really beautiful. It moves me. You do John sweet justice, and that means so much to me -- I loved the man and can appreciate your part in keeping his music fresh, new, and alive.
I’m not only Gene Eric Mann on Alonetone, but also Justin Otter Guy, Merry Bear, and Nightmoth. I hadn’t noted before your compliment here regarding my version of Runaway. Thank you for that. But you did a great job with this number. That middle KB break is tricky and takes some agile, dexterous fingers to execute properly, and you pulled it of nicely.
Rough Take: Recorded on what I had available (Cell Phone)
Made of iron, I'm made of blood
Raise your arms against me, and you'll feel the flood,
“Cause I don't need to run.
I won't sleep, til you're gone.”
My axe kept eating, wood and flesh…
Less than an hour after declaring my bluesy October project at an end I came up with this. It's almost like I don't even listen to myself.
The guitars are all Stratocaster and the lyrics are about raking leaves. No, seriously.
MONOLOGUE
I found a hole, it's in the wall
And reaching up, I crawled inside
And to the stars I gave a call
To grant a better place to hide
I cannot leave the hole I found
The chapel for my dark despair
I do not seek to hang around…
Summer Sun
Sitting in the summer sun
The heat warms the soul
Sitting reminiscing
Got no particular place go
life is all around me
The motion of the birds and bees
Is like heaven to me
Heaven to me
I lay out in an open field

Justin Otter Guy (just another guy) and Gene Eric Mann (generic man) are the same musician. My originals are penned as Gene tunes (alonetone.com/mythopoetica) and my covers are uploaded as Justin tunes (/redshirt).
Here's a Classic by Jimi Hendrix with a Fab Backer by Speed Demon with yours truly doing the vocals Thanks Gene for letting play at being a Rock Star.......
COME TOGETHER
Here come old flattop, he come groovin' up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball, he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please
He wear no shoeshine, he got toe-jam football

KNOCKING ON HEAVEN'S DOOR by Bob Dylan
Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it any more
It's gettin' dark, too dark for me to see
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock…
Starry Nightmoth and I (Gene Eric Mann) labored a few days on this tricky number. We gave it our best shot, but mucho kudos to Del Shannon's keyboardist -- his break rift was amazing! We settled for sort of faking our way through, which was…
Poor old Reg is just not satisfied.......
I Can't Get No Satisfaction
it’s the Grey of the morning,
and the alarms ringing loud
right in the midst of a dream
as it sings out loud, loud and proud
it wakes me from my slumber an dreams
