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)
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…
Nikola Tesla turned to pigeons in his extreme old age for companionship, feeding them through his open hotel window. After a life of dedication to improving the life of humanity, Nikola finally allowed himself time to find his own human nature.

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!!

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!
"A little bit bladerunner. A little bit tangerine dream. I like this track." sez Will.
This both summarizes and transcends the original.
Wow! A complete overhaul! Out with the old...
Just gave this a listen while working on the site! Nice playing!
Oooooh yummy guitar sounds here.

✅ Performance is unchanged
Proof that some guitars are better reversed. Liking the mood in the last half.
This is great! I listened to it multiple times while fixing up playlist behavior on alonetone :)
Super into the stutter
I'm flying in an airplane with propellors made out of catgut, burning reverb as fuel.
Reminds me of the ole fruity loops days
I feel cleansed!
Bubbles + Ambient = ❤️
Oooh, I like the dives.
Nice pickin'! Vocal treatment making me happy too.
