Vocals and percussion are courtesy of another recent alonetoner, K. Scot Sparks. While recording a simple guitar track in Kev's garage, things got intersting when we opened the garage door, and let the sounds of this huge flock of birds in the…
this was an attempt at making a tune where the vocal melody was nonredundant with the chords (or never found in any of the notes of any of the chords).
Almost succeeded - but it was fun trying.
The berimbau is a brazilian percussion/string instrument that is the foundation for this tune.
Thanks to Dana (Alontoner) who added the sweet backup vocals to make this a much better piece.
And thanks also to K. Scot Sparks (Alonetoner…
Timely sounding. Wonderful. This transports me to a time in history when people enjoyed simpler things in life and we're so caught up in the rat race. Excellent!

Created back in 1999 with the help of alonetoner K.Scot. I had translated the english lyrics into portuguese - then just decided to record both languages at the same time.
wrote this song while i was all alone in the middle of a nameless creek in the amazon jungle - beautiful spot!
This is from 2006 - the only song in this album that is more recent. Here I tried to use bossa chords and a modified bossa beat to…
Filho Sumido is portuguese for "Lost Son".
Its my little bossa way of describing what its like to be away from the place I love, Brazil. Like a lost son. Someday I may make an english version - but then, maybe not. After all, its about Brazil…
This is a total remake of an earlier posting.

In the lyrics, I was trying to capture a sense in which there is something else beyond -
something which draws me as it were homeward. A son…
A song that came to me when I was fishing in the rain with some of my Mamainde buddies. The Mamainde is a small endangered Amazonian tribe of 230 people in west-central Brazil. This song attempts to tell their story…

The Portuguese version of "Raining on the Cabixi".
If you listen close, and if you can tell the difference between an indo-european language and an amerindian language, you will hear the second verse sung in Mamainde - an endangered language…

Written today.
recorded on an iMac with the internal mic and no headphones (!) so it's probably going to be muddy as hell, but that feels about right for now.
LYRIC:
Fill up the glass, Bartender
Ply your art
Quench the fire in here, now…
gotta love a good blues tune!
PS. thanks for the comment on Dubadadidabadu - yeah, the volume on the vocal is way too low - but i never got around to fixing it. The vocal (and a few other choice parts) are actually the work of another recent alonetoner, K. Scot Sparks.
Sister Savage has a little star in this track!
Melody based on 'ah! vous dirai-je, Maman,' by Mozart.. the original composer. I think it's the first and second variation of 12, but that was like 15 years ago that I learned the piece so I have…
Sam was a very articulate and kind friend; he spend way too much of his life in a wheel chair and yet demonstrated a lot of grace.
We lost him just over a year ago.
Among many other unexpected, Christ-like kindnesses, he realized at one point…
