Reg told her it all, then he had to leave. His new flat has a bit of a gloom about it on this morning when he wakes to the Buzz of the Tv....................
The backing really captures the bleakness of the lyric. I like how the spoken lyric drew me in, yet was part of the rythm of the piece as well. Really nice.
I didn't like the 1st version so i changed it so here it is. imagine Sitting in the forest listening to the breeze being free and wanting to follow it..........................
It does create a palpable sense of yearning. What a sweet melodious/countermelodious listen. Great use of the jaw harp too, if that's what I'm hearing. (my set-up isn't perfect at present).
Thats the deal man...I want to go to this place for a few hours...very Tom Waites of you guys...and who doesn't like a litle drink Tom Waites style once in a while.

WICKED??!?!?! haha j/k....i know your not talkin' bad about my buddy jack, or the fine people in Hood River?! :) Cool piece regs! Love the horns in the back.
I was reading a book in my lounge and started to feel as though someone was watching me. It was silent in the room, the TV was switched off as was the radio. I noticed the web-cam on top of my computer but that was switched of too so i couldn…
Some blues/boogie fun.
Ain’t no fun
It's a well known fact
When you’re with the wrong woman
And caught in the act
Sworn to secrecy
We even made a pact
But didn’t matter
We were caught in the act
Been watched and followed
Traced…
Caught this one this morning got the blood pumping loving that harp well in fact loving the whole thing the interplay between piano guitar and that wonderful harp
(Remastered 22/10/2021)
I found this one while I was digging through the shoe-box for the 1994 songs. Apparently I wrote it on 10th November 1995.
Foolishly, I thought it would only take a week or so to record... I was originally expecting…
I feel I should donate something as I've recently downloaded all of your alone-tone catalogue and must say I've been O-D ing on you most of the afternoon and I haven't come across a bad track yet (there's got be one surely where you suck and its badly recorded.... go on put one up for us mere mortals where we can say " Well he's not perfect is he?") love your work Bravo and Thank you
EVER ONE I NEED TO TALK TO
Everyone I need to talk to tonight is gone
Some have gone to heaven. Some have gone to hell
Ever one I want to talk to tonight is gone

A1:
I Can't See the Road Ahead
We're in the kind of storm I dread
Driving slower so I might find
A speed where I won't feel so blind
This feeling…
Creating conscience collectives
Subjugate yourself for delivery
The undisputed tolerant dictator following
Underground slave to the state
Righteous device of the chosen few
Discovery of the demon, but you don't know what to do
Believing…
Working through a barrage of songs over two different computers. thought I posted this already but its not on AT. (?)

First song on RPM 17....eh first song on RPM ever lol
Really glad I made this one.
I had to dig up an old VHS tape (anyone remember those?) for the audio sample in this track.
The hardest part about making this tune was actually…
Engine stalling
Redwood falling
Babies bawling
Sheriff come calling
Another child missing
Black snake hissing
Radio squawking
Searchers walking
Media stalking
Everybody talking
Mother in ruins
What’s black snake doing?
Fox in the…
Oh baby let me take you
To that screen-saver dawn
To Hallmark scenes
On a snowy winter’s morn
You can’t do this on your own
You can’t do this on your own
Oh baby let me take you.
Oh baby let me take you
Out to the windy cliff
Where…
So I had this song, not quite finished, I sort of insisted Greg Connor sing it, he also wrote the last verse. Steve Krell added the solo break. I think they helped to bring the song alive. Oh yeah, I'm in the Chorus ...... hiding Somewhere. :) :)
A song about my wife. Recorded 2005.
I'd just taught myself how to play piano (badly).
I'd always wanted to be Freddie Mercury when I was younger... still got a bit of a ways to go.

digging this afro-rythm-blues fusion. Talk about 'roots', you've reached the tippy end here! Why can't I be this cool?
cool russian folk song vibe to me. Lovely lyric. Has everything it needs, and nothing it doesn't.
your twist up voice is some funky resemblens to Tom Waits. dig your vocals! Thanks for uploading!
when you've had too much, you can't even say wicked ways of whiskey. Too much work for the lips to form those 'w's.
:) So so wicked!
I'm lovin' all your stuff, and this is killer. Fantastic. Really, really ace!
haha! this is great!!
Thats the deal man...I want to go to this place for a few hours...very Tom Waites of you guys...and who doesn't like a litle drink Tom Waites style once in a while.
your orginality really speaks to me in this track =)
I agree with epimeison. Sweet melodies. Enjoyed it!
Very nice melodies.
WICKED??!?!?! haha j/k....i know your not talkin' bad about my buddy jack, or the fine people in Hood River?! :) Cool piece regs! Love the horns in the back.
I feel most entertained, thank you.
Yeah, you're feeling that man! Cool!

I’ve had one of those nights
Well worth the hour or so ....
Addictivly rockin
I’ll agree with that ...
It’s Saturday morning “what shall I do? .... I know I’ll catch up with some Reef”
Wonderfully delicate
I’d love one of those cocktails..... but damn I’m on the wagon
And another beauty love that harp welcome aboard Ray
Beautiful song
Excellent songwriting
Nicely done too
Loving it ....getting down while doing so

I was doing a bit of pearl diving and found this from way back when
Got a great groove going on
