Just a little something to take off the chill of the recent polar vortex here in MN. Thanks for listening!!! ODE to the LAST LEAF VERSE 1 This season is ending Last leaf on the tree When you’re the last leaf Let go and be free Free…

A song about people who've been in and moved on in our life - maybe a lullaby of sorts... thanks for listening to my latest. If Ever Oh Ever If ever oh ever I could find you again we’d jump in the water and Swim to the end To the…

Sometimes writing a song is the very best and only thing you can do.... Cold Winter Moon Oh cold winter moon And the wind that blows Bring me a change For my weary soul Take away this longing That fills my heart Something is over…

This was one of the most hilarious songwriting sessions we've had in a long time.... One for all the single people still searching for the elusive LTR out there - a classic with Greg Connor - guitar, Mark Lofgren - guitar and lead vocals, yours…

The MN coffee table is back!!!! We have a new member too - Joel Schaubert, who joined Mark Lofgren and Greg Connor - veterans of the coffee table. Once again we wrote this song and recorded it in my backyard coffee table (hence some of the wind…

Reg has lost Rita and its threw him so hard he fell of the wagon .... Rita I’m feel completly unknown I don’t know myself no more The vision of myself is confusing I don’t know who I am any more I’ve been shook…

I'm a madman roaring down this rain-slicked road Top down, laughing, rain slaps like the hand of God Left you barefoot, summer-haired, watching me go Like a beautiful flower I should've picked a long, long time ago Pre-Chorus: You were…

Here is a next song for my RPM challenge...(this is my 7th year and I'm off to a slow start...grrrr). I threw this one together kind of quickly and it sort of wrote itself- which is always fun. I kept it minimal and mostly used my Juno Synth…

Back to being angry for a little while. This little trainwreck of a "let's learn some piano song" just needed a revisit....

Sometimes life tends to repeat itself if you're not careful.... Good to find a moment to recognize old patterns and shake them off. Great help on this one from the MN Coffee Table Gang - Greg Connor on guitar and vocals, and Mark Lofgren…

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…

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…

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…

It’s nice having our original lead guitarist back for a visit….special thank-you to Keith for his work on Matt’s song. Lyrics….. Hey you, little man inside a choo-choo You do it differently than I do. Hey man, I hear you’re on a big-plan…

So ... While we were picking out names to call our little band to compete with the big boys next summer the name "Prison House Band" came up. After a few laughs it was voted down abruptly but it stirred something inside. Here is my first jail…
