| Twice named an "emerging artist" twice by Coast to Coast A.M., an overnight radio show heard over 500 stations in the United States and Canada. In 1981, Don't Slow Up received a Certificate of Achievement in the national Billboard Magazine songwriting contest. Alan still lives in the Fort Lauderdale suburbs and practices songwriting with the help of a 10-year-old computer, digital eight-track recorder, music software and a hand-me-down keyboard. His writing covers a range of American styles, from pop to folk with a few stops in between. |

| Johnnie Come Back |
| Trapped by family memories. Somber reminders of long dead uncles you barely knew, dusty empty rooms where you once played and haunted thoughts. Moments you can never have back and won't let go. On July 5, 2011, House of Ghosts was played on the old Art Bell show AM Coast to Coast now hosted by George Noorey. |
| Early Fibes original rock 'n' roller. Lynn sings the lead with Alan providing call backs. Randy is pitch perfect with his guitarwork. The guys rented a four-track recorder from a local music store to capture this version. The song is about John Lennon. A.D. |
| Big band Fibes, what more can you say. What's more romantic than Fort Lauderdale beach? The crashing waves, chilled champagne, a lovely lady ... and the calls of the night birds. Even though the guy dumps the girl, he gives her a memory to hold forever. Times that can heal you. |

| Don't Slow Up |
| One of the original songs at the start of The Fibes. Recorded at Loconto's Studio in Sunrise. The song is written by Alan and sung by Lynn. It received an honorable mention in 1981 in Billboard Magazine's national songwriting contest. |
| An odd song from Alan after a long and upclose look at Alzheimer's. The video reflects the slide into darkness and the illusions that become real through the progression of the disease. Look closely during the lede break for the image of John Lennon -- a mind puzzle of sorts. |

| Nuther Bridge |
| An original song by Alan and one of the two songs played on Coast to Coast AM. Alan was naked in the pool not knowing it had been selected to be played on the national radio program that night. He damn near drowned when it come blaring over his transistor radio on July 4, 2010. |

| An original song by Alan and homage to women. Largely written as a Valentine to Alan's wife Pat McDonough. They've been married for decades. Notice who the only male face in the video? Bubba, we love ya. |
