Written for/about Ben Montgomery. Answering machine messages wondering where he might be are from yours truly and Jason Biehler, his two closest friends who were always trying to track him down.
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.

I love that the title has a period on the end. Almost makes it believable when it's below freezing outside.
Beautiful sound. You've really captured the feeling here.
Poured myself a small cup of acoustic guitar, half finger picking, half ebow. Nothing fancy, nothing magical, nothing fantastical, just something to relax through.
First draft.
Dedicated to my mother on her birthday.
In the outro: Trombone, Horns, Clarinets, Mouthpiece buzz by Andy Hentz (arrsuarez) and organic drum related sounds by Glu.
For my friend and coworker, because he certainly deserves it.

You need locking up for crimes against poor, sentimental, over-sensitive ladies as they sit alone at night, in the dark (because these candles look lovely but are rubbish, to be honest) sipping red wine with only their dreams for company. Vocal rings out like a bell over already heartbreaking notes. I shoot you with my blubbing.
I took you seriously
I took it carefully
I didn't want to breathe too loudly
I walked around silently
I didn't say a word
Fear was there beside me
I know it sounds absurd
But so what?
So what.
I lived without money
I've lived without…
For my friend and coworker, because he certainly deserves it.

I love the sense of space in this track and the way everything fits together nicely like a jigsaw puzzle. It’s upbeat but the guitar is unbelievably chill, really nice touch and tone on that electric!
Hey there,
This is a song that has been in my head for a while now. I think it has an amazing content. It's originally for Violin Solo, but I made an arrangement for 2 Violas and 2 Violins. I added/changed perhaps 10 notes in total, it's crazy…
Really pretty, it's been nice to see this one develop. I'm a big fan of the steady pacing, actually! It's refreshingly unmelodramatic, a nice change from maxxxxed out rubato.
This Track was recorded a couple of years ago, and I started thinking about it because of the recent Track "dreaming" that I uploaded.

This is a recording from my i phone off my back deck at home in Mill Valley tonight. Everyone howls at 8 pm for 1 minute in solidarity for the healthcare providers during this pandemic with COVID 19. its been going on for over 2 weeks now…
A post on the Facebook RPM group featured a quote from an aging Dave Grohl complaining about Kids These Days and Their Terrible Music, pointing out that the current number-one song was about someone's butt. So, I wrote a song about my butt…
I've been inspired all week by Steve Reich's Electric Counterpoint. This piece of 6 parts done by me on baritone ukulele is my response to it, very loosely based and the core repetitive rhythmic part based on the 3rd movement, Fast. Additional…

Wow, I must have missed this originally. Love the vocal treatment here!
Sounding great! Really glad you decided to indie release and upload to alonetone!

Oooooooh, nice tasty breakbeats

Wow very Yoshimura, into it!
Woah can “hear” you playing those lines on trumpet at the start. Dig the shuff
Glad it didn't end after 1:30, nice tremmy noisefloor breathing...
Hello Agent Cooper. Yummy booksian opening and lynchian guitar vibes.
Woah, the verb.... <3 The playing is cool, pretty fun to hear baroque cadences and motifs scattered in there...
Ooooooh, super into the lazers and vocal samples, makes me wanna make dance music!
This is awesome, thanks for uploading!
LOVE that noisey apreggiating thing that comes in around :33
Thanks for the space out!
With luck this will get to the top of "kicking ass" ;)
❤️Nice to see you posting again!. Maybe it's the verb and harmonies, but reminds me of some old school hawaiian tunes.
<3 me Reich-ish things on stringed instruments. Nice one!

This both summarizes and transcends the original.
Wow! A complete overhaul! Out with the old...
