When my kids were babies, my Dad always used to hum a little tune when he was carrying them and trying to settle them down... it's the sweetest, lilting sound, I've hummed it all my life, always thinking of my Dad when it was in my head. I've…

This song was written for a songwriting challenge issued by the MN Association of Songwriters where the title had to include the word 2021. I am uploading it this morning on a very proud day here in the USA - Inauguration day 2021!!!!! I am…

Well the song tells the story of the morning.... a lovely bleak, cold day. I decided on a simple a cappella arrangement to fit the feeling of the day. Happy Winter Solstice everyone! To brighter days ahead!!!! My Old Bones Know Better…

well this will be kind of random for my listeners... but what the "hey" as they say! In a bit of a writing desert lately, but had a lovely walk two days ago, and got inspired by the sounds coming from newly frozen ice with at least 1000 migrating…

IN MY ROOM In my room there's no day and there's no night In my room, just an incandescent light ...hanging from a wire. In my room there's no hot and there's no cold In my room, I'm not young. I'm not old ...hanging from a wire (C) 2021…

I liked the lyrics but couldn't come up with a chord run I liked. I've got an old Peavey amp I rescued from a barn and a cheap foreign made Peavey guitar that had a broken plastic nut. I made a steel nut for it and use the guitar and amp for…

Oh I had a first love, so did you

The Fires alight Operator number please I close my eyes every night and I dream I have a hold of you You take me in hand with your crooked wand And Make me feel so blue The night gets dark and starts to bleed it’s emotion over me My…

Well look what Gene started... I decided to put my own thoughts on this one, and look what weirdness popped into my head this fine evening.... Thanks for the fun idea Gene!!! Here are the lyrics: How To Assemble An Android © 2015 Colleen…

This song was inspired for all of us who've cycled through a relationship or two.... My dear friends Greg Connor and Mark Lofgren of the infamous MN Coffee Table helped bring it to life with Greg on Banjo and Mark on Lead Guitar. Both of them…

I wrote this song as a way to process some of the feelings of sadness, dismay, anger, fear and love that were brewing inside my heart this past week. I live in Minneapolis, where the terrible killing of George Floyd occurred, and the subsequent…

This is my first collaboration with the talented SLKrell! He had a reggae song called "Rancho Raggae" posted a couple of weeks ago in need of a lyric, so I asked If I could write some for it, and poof whala!! Here it is! Thanks Slkrell for the…

Well it's been a long while (as seems to be the pattern lately) and I was inspired by Greg and Ron's new songs.... Then I saw a lovely note from the Proods saying "I must have been writing during this crazy time" - so I had to respond with something…

Well the Cadillac was there when I left..........

A real, real old one ........... from another Time & Space .......

With lovely Keith Landry. Unfortunately, the studio I had at the time was on its last legs and the recording is a terrible quality, but I've never been able to get the vocal to sound better. Probably because I'm now over the awful thing I did…

An oldie, with the awesome Vivian Circle. Think this was RPM 2010.
