Insomnia
Searching these oceans in your eyes
Scanning for life has none survived
Oath in the black of night I meant these words I said
This is the dream I had that shook me wide awake in bed

Rose from these ashes
Birthed in this primal crust
The violence in the crucible  
This silence is so beautiful
Raw from these lashes
We’ll all return to dust
These crimes are inexcusable
The lambs become invisible
The pounding of the inward tide 
The sound that lets me sleep at night

Solving the codes inside your head
Did you abandon them for dead
This is the chronic, deep insomnia I dread 
These are the dreams I have that cause me to convulse in bed

"It's just a hobby!"

I bought my first guitar about 10 years ago, I was 56 years old. I had wanted to learn long ago and decided with my early retirement, now was a good time! I had no musical experience but with the help of many YouTube videos (mostly JustinGuitar.com), I started to learn. Along the way, I wrote my first original song and started videoing and recording my music, both originals (@lenaloise) and covers (@lenaloisecovers). My first song was posted about 5 years after that first guitar!

My music "hobby" has really grown since I started! Many guitars, pedals, gadgets, equipment! But it's a hobby! I work hard for every note and learning this instrument at an older age is different from starting in your teens! My page is a mix of things that I enjoy in my "hobby"! I record "almost live" with minimal takes and editing. I strive for fun, not perfection, and I learn as I need to for that enjoyment!

So please subscribe (if you like) and follow along! Thanks for listening!

A hobbyist electronic musician.

I'm trying to do some live jam capture stuff lately, but I mostly do synth editing and mixing - downloaded MIDI files with a little bit of tweaking; little to no "playing".  See links on songs.

Back in the 80s, I hung out in the music department quite a bit, and did a couple terms as a college station DJ, when I wasn't working on my computer degree (the day job which I’m not quitting).

I love the community on SoundCloud.  E.g. - people say horrible things to each other on places like YouTube, but here, people just quietly pass over things they don't like, and tell you about what they do.  Thanks, all!

Finally, FWIW, I usually try to put things I have "liked" through the rotation during my morning walk or commute for a few weeks before deciding to repost them.  I hope any visitors here enjoy the eclectic mix of things I have reposted, as well as (hopefully) some of my tracks.

👽 Only music 👽


👽 Only music 👽

I knew at an early age that music would be a part of my life forever. In music I found my self-esteem and a way to make people feel. I began singing in public at nine years old and playing drums at thirteen.  In the tenth grade I auditioned to play drums and percussion with the South Georgia College and got the "gig". I performed in many musical productions there until I graduated high school and joined the army.  I continued performing in the NCO clubs while serving.
After obtaining the G.I. Bill I attended the University of South Carolina, where I played with several local bands. In 1982 I graduated college and taught special education until retirement last May. There, I witnessed the magic of music through my students.
I now enjoy the peace and solitude of a farm in the middle of "God's Country" here in Tennessee. With much help from family and friends, I am able to share my original songs with you.
I sincerely thank you for taking a bit of your time with me. I hope you receive a blessing from a song or two and as you listen, I hope you hear my heart in each and every one.  Tony
