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.

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.

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)
Hi Anton,
It's an acoustic guitar - A larrivée with a koa back. It has been my best friend since I found it hiding in a music store in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
What a great surprise!
The 1:40 muted out break is great, as are the little synthy beeps that come in shortly after. This made my sleepy morning, glu, thanks!
Here is my practice run, 1/12 of the 24hour album. 2 minutes of music in two hours. This track was fun to make. I started with the acoustic guitar, added the bass, then the beat. To get a particular sound that I had in mind, I did a little beat…
Yeah! Love the guitar or whatever the heck that is man, great sound and great beats. I need to create a glu-bot that just always congratulates you on the beats when you upload a new track :) You are darn consistent!
Jason, you are late to the alonetone party, but I forgive you. This was deliciously hiorthoy-esque. I know you have a box of delicious tracks just waiting for us, hook it up!
Ha, yeah...I'm trying to get out of the habit of saying how undone I think something is. I think this song made me bring up [this forum topic](http://alonetone.com/forums/making-music/topics/do-you-ever-finish-your-tracks)
i started writing this song 5 years ago and finally recorded it this year. sad to say, but my $$ situation isn't that much different. this is a whiny song from a liberal-arts grad who is a brat and can't really make ends meet in NYC.
i definitely…
Wow, simply great! Nice hook, I could walk around singing this all day. Your voice spreads like icing on this fast paced but lighthearted musical cake.
SOOOOO glad to hear more music from your talented self!

hmm... nay to ze drumz now? methinks a hit as is?

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!!

Really well done. Soothing and expressive.
What a great surprise! The 1:40 muted out break is great, as are the little synthy beeps that come in shortly after. This made my sleepy morning, glu, thanks!
Sigh....Just beautiful. Any new tunes for us greedy alonetoners, arrsuarez?
Yeah! Love the guitar or whatever the heck that is man, great sound and great beats. I need to create a glu-bot that just always congratulates you on the beats when you upload a new track :) You are darn consistent!
Oh so sweet. Favorited.

I can't stand it when I miss great alonetone tracks like this one that were uploaded months ago. The 'mangoz' shuffle for the win!
I dug this tune out of the 9 month old archive and enjoyed it!
So much fun!
Tight production man, this one Carries.
Love how this crabbles out!
Agreed, I like the way this track moves!
Wow, simply great! Nice hook, I could walk around singing this all day. Your voice spreads like icing on this fast paced but lighthearted musical cake. SOOOOO glad to hear more music from your talented self!
This is the glu I was born to listen to.
Right up my alley. Thanks!
Enjoyed this!
This is my favorite so far of your recent uploads. Wild music, a bunch of fun to listen to.
