This is a first run at MIDI drumming. I have my kit setup to a new Alesis Trigger I/O box. It turns my drum kit in to a USB MIDI drum kit. Pretty cool toy.
Most of the kits I have in the software are dry to record. Obviously, the sound will…
I know, you think I've completely lost it. This is actually a cover tune. Originally done by Wall of Voodoo around 1979. I did it from memory and ear, so I'm not sure if I got the notes or the Key right. It don't matter though, It was fun.

This is a filler piece for this cool new CD I'm working on. I got this Clint movie thing working pretty good :) Think of it as our hero horsebackin' it across the plains in the land of the big sky.
I think the piano has a bit of Robert Nichols…
Nice music,,, sounds like two 4 note run ons to my ear,(is that right?, actually i hear them as c,b,a,g, then d,c,b,a),, anyway they work very well,, it's really great the way you find a simple progression (and i mean that as a complement) and make it beautiful..
Hi folks,
It's good to back after RPM and the blackout of 2010.
A couple firsts here. I recorded this 100% with the computer. I never plugged in to a computer before.
I've always used a Roland VS machine and burnt my
songs/tracks to SCSI…
I guess I knew this would happen. Talk about creating one's own reality Sheeeeesh. End of the month and my pen has been re-fueled and I added some vox to this one, plus some lead guitar, and a bit of synth strings. I also took a shot at some…

sunshines on waves of grain
purple mountains are turning grey
duck and cover, the theme of the day
as times collide in the USA
spacious skies pourin' rain
Mississippi she's floodin the plains
run for cover, it's comming your way

Seems to be that one song everyone likes.
Lyrics:
Stary night, the highway fades
a hundred miles and I'm on my way
I got up late
Lazy days and even crazier nights
there she was, on her way
she stuck her thumb out for me to see…

Hey Kids, Happy RPM. Surf's up! I played this one for my lady, she said she wants to move to California. I'm not sure if that's because I've been wired up in the Dog House for 9 days or if she wishes to try some surfing. Go figure....
Anyway…
I remember when we were young
I remember waiting for the sun
you said you loved me
you said you need me
you said you want me
and that was forever
I remember the stories of our days
I remember the tears in your eyes

I spent the day skrewing around with this Roumanian Minor scale again. I am really testing layered drums on this one, Toms mostly.
There's a lot happening. Acoustic, Strat, Bass, 4 Juno tracks, and all kinds of percussion.
Only a two chord change…
One of my favorite songs of all time and one of my favorite voices.
Thanks M.T.

Some days I’m fine
Yeah some days I feel sublime
All the time
But then there’s days
I wanna crawl out of my skin
And leave it in

Wasting away another weekend with some scales and mode practice on the synthesizers.
all the percussion is from the Juno drum patches and my fingers.
For you folks out there who enjoy the mode stuff this is Phrygian in A

Lyrics:
Calling me, she comes in the night
the summer breeze is feeling right for me
Whisper to the wind
the dark angel forges her lights my way
Whisper to the wind
This Vision has complicated everything
now is not my time

This song is the concluding song on my RPM Challenge February album. It is a good-bye to the project.

an overcast rainy day here in south calif.. i sat at my piano in the morning and this just sort of sprang out on the keyboard... since im learning about electric guitars this feb (for rpm) i spent the day playing with different amps and effects…
I am learning a bit more each day about how to write/compose for guitar ,, quite fun. This RPM piece is dedicated for our 16 and 1/2 year old mini red Dachshund,, Howie.. though blind and mostly deaf, and recovering from illness, he still…
This song has been the biggest mess of the month. It was the second idea I had, the first that wasn't dropped. I have fought with it more than any other song I've ever recorded. The drum parts have been recorded twice. They rhythm guitars have…
I wrote this song while out hiking some awesome trails in Zion National Park... gave me some excellent inspiration. I also tried some different stuff with the mixing and using my keyboard... so trying to push a few of my envelopes...
Here…
Acoustic first take recording including all my natural mistakes of a song made many years ago, as I keep telling myself, one day I will make an upbeat backing track for it and see what comes out of it....hmmm.... one day yeah....
I got touched by an article I read about an Irish chap that saw a girl on a plane he fell in love with at first sight (ha, I never knew that existed !!!) He could not forget about her, so decided to do a “Sherlock Holmes” and was determent to…
This is a fun idea Greg has, and I can't wait to hear more.
He sent me an acoustic and vocal track and asked me to complete it.
I stayed up most of the night jammin' it. :)
It's a bit loose around the edges because I didn't work anything…
This was my first Alonetone collaboration with Louis Smit.
At the time, Louis was Last Salute Folk.
I'm adding this to song to my last CD because it was my first collab.
Thanks Louis.
Remixed unplugged.
I removed all the electric guitars and synths.
I also replaced the lead with a harmonica, re-recorded my backups, and ran the bass track through a fretless patch.
I like this version.
Thanks Michael - You've been a wonderful…
This is the third, maybe forth time I recorded this tune.
I like this one best.

Like so many times before
I know there'll be so many more
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
I know my enemy by name
Survival is a deadly game
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Yea, so I'm just another telling you that you write good love songs and superb southern American music.
Keep it up man, I'm a groupie for sure.
Need someone to take loving care of your gear on the road??
I'm applying for the job.
I work cheap and tune to Concert A 440.
I can intonate as well. :)
I'd be more than happy to play piano, guitar, bass, synth, banjo, washboard, tamborine, woodblocks, anything.
Shit, I'd jam a garbage can to jam with you.
