I do three things after waking up these days: I shower. I make coffee. I play this song and drink my coffee.
Nothing complicated. Nothing fancy. Just some basic fingerpicking to test my motor skills and bring some aural sunshine into my day.
The first version.
This is the first and only song I wrote on [arrsuarez](http://alonetone.com/arrsuarez)'s Christmas gift to me, a mbira that he lovingly crafted by hand.

Hey there - To "send a message" you can comment on someone's track - and click "make private" if you just want them to see it...
As far as having a real and coherent back-and-forth (with replying and so on), best thing to do for now is to take it to the forums or get their email address. The alonetone commenting system aint yet built for threaded conversations.
This montage is about making music and what it means to people. It uses comments from a number of classical musicians interviewed for a radio series I record and produce called "The Main Street Sessions". The music is from "The Gospel of Thomas…
Oh wow! Jennifer, I'm very very happy you found alonetone. Seeing all of your wonderful and positive comments has really brought me smiles over the last few days - and this track is just simply great to listen to, a well produced tribute.
Wow! I can't believe I missed this. I really enjoy your voice. I visited your MySpace site - you should put up a few more tunes on alonetone, I think people would really enjoy them here.
good lord. i was addicted to crosswords, and therefore became uncontrollably competitive and paranoid.
[by the way, if anyone could help me master my songs, please give a shout! i can't seem to get them any louder...]
Comments on Sudara's stuff
This is exactly how my morning coffee makes me feel!! Nice tones on la guitarra.
heart with the green plus sign. YEP.
awesome!
kalimba! kalimbaaa! what an awesome instrument.
Hang sounds great!
I like this a lot. --Great tones.
wow! how did this get past the gludar? what a cool track. I love the dulcimer. took a summer course years ago... learned a little arlo gutherie. wish I still had one.
Cool track. I like the arrangement. Just the right amount of space Nice percussion background.
hmm... nay to ze drumz now? methinks a hit as is?
Beautiful
Lovely track!!
OH SUDARA, THIS IS LOVELY!! It's SO melodious, and multi-layered. I know it can't be easy to play! Great work. (with a nod to A!) PS If winter doesn't pass soon, it's sunny here!
Really nice, though that idea strikes terror into my heart where I am.
It wants thick vocal harmonies, but no lyrics...just mouth noises. (My opinion only of course.) Lovely stuff!
Oh, man. This is wonderful. Evocative. Just right. As usual. ;) More, please!!
reminds me of the "the weakerthans". i really like the guitar tones . seeing how you can make changes, i would love to see and have been advocating for, a tab for lyrics. it can be a much richer experience if you can read along and not miss the music because you are straining to understand the story or message. i have been putting my words under the "ABOUT " tab but it isnt obvious to the listener. love your style and voice. tim
Listening to your Hawaii collection. Nice. And thanks for putting together such a cool site for musicians. I'll be joining up and uploading my first, Rusty Ramblings. Give me some more time and I'll re-record as Slightly Polished Ramblings! JJ Dude (Jeff)
Wow. Wendy freakin' loves this - and so do I. More Hang, please!
It certainly gave me Happy Feet! Great dancy tune and amazing Hung sound!
Clean as a cut onion, and with a heap of relish, delicious!

Yeah, there's nothing to figure out (except you should use it as much as possible!)

Wow! Digital break beats and some mighty fine banjo - a winning combo.
Nice & chill, tpunkt, dig it.

I really like this last batch of songs you put up. Listening for the second time in a row through them...
This track rocks! I wish the vocals were more up front and louder. The synths are pretty awesome.
I'm really glad you uploaded more music, thank you!
Diminished as in the chord, or the skill set?
Yeah, I'm also really liking the piano. I was working on the alonetone forum code while listening to all of omell's piano music - good stuff.
Did I already comment on this? It's nuts, really a fun listen.
Liebesgrüße aus Innsbruck.
I really like you as a singer, your voice just clicks with me man.
Woah! The autotuning on this guy is out of control! Nice layered sound here, it's good to hear something on the electronic side - it suits you.
This intro is tweaked out.
ooooh, I'm digging the way those drums phase in and really like the sound of the guitar break around 2:40
The production on your tracks is great, I'm feeling it.
woah, and the last two snare hits on this track are nuts, all static-y. Cool man.
The beat on this guy is chiiiiiiilll, I really walk away with a good feeling. Your tracks have names?
