Here's a song that battled me for quite awhile... so I am glad to say I've gotten it recorded. Still rough from my home studio, but trying out a few additional things on my keyboard to round out the sound around the ukulele. Thanks for listening…read more

I see I left you a comment yesterday while I was not signed in. I was on Park Point waiting for the lift bridge to come down.
You have done it again! That’s what I was thinking. Well constructed and interesting to listen to.
Well done Colleen!

We wait, we count days, hours, minutes to the expected. With desire, with anxiety, with apprehension, with calm. Do we live during the count, in the intervals between events that we're waiting for, one after another? Probably, something unconscious…read more
Reading a book
From a tabula rasa, with the title that appeared at birth, and until the end I am reading the book. A book of life, with color and black and white pictures, with joyful or banal or miserable text, with unfinished verses and some…
We have that same Grumman! We keep having to put pine tar on the rivets as it’s a leaker after 50 years in Northern MN. I agree! It’s the kind of thing that shorter people do! Awesome song 💚
Wrote this for Matt & Aaron who own Rhombus Guys Pizza in Fargo, Grand Forks and Mentor MN where I have performed a few times. Hoped they would put it on their website, but they didn't. It's tough being a songwriter!
SKATING
I shouldn’t be out skating. Storm is passing thru
Out here in the darkness where I last saw you
Standing neath that street lamp. Standing cold and wet
Only light and shadow and regret
I shouldn’t be out skating tho the traffic…read more
This is my contribution to the Song Writing Challenge: Write a song about "First Date".
Written for Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show / Pioneer Radio 90.1 Thief River Falls.
Here’s another awesome song! Love your guitar playing on the break…. I think you’ve been secretly laughing in the corner on some of my recent first dates. You’ve got this nailed!!!! Great singing too!
Arranged and performed by myself and Chris, who stepped in at the last minute to help me record this track for Brent's latest xchange cd. Song written by Mr Kinder. 2018.
A Christian musician who worked with inmates at a juvenile prison told me a lot of these people had never heard a Bible story … much less of Jesus. I decided then to start doing more spiritual tunes.
