Update: Gene offered to improve the Mix on this song! This is that improved version. Thanks so much Gene! You are awesome!!!
I wrote this song earlier this summer, and had played it a few times with Greg Connor, fellow alone toner, and…
Nice one. Sounds very real and spontaneous... Looks like I missed this first time round. I was thinking about Gene the other day, talking about him to my wife.

Very positive and uplifting and a feel between Dolly and Emylou. Lovely coming out of the darkness of your Twin Cities. I'm sorry there has been so much hurt there, clash that sadly is like 50 years ago again because it is. Change has to come in the unnecessary loss of George. Thanks for the kind words to my track earlier Colleen. It's good to discovery you and Andrew also in your circle.

You had me with "If I start by making a better me / It will help to make a better we" ... I was listening without reading what it was about. In fact, I didn't make the connection until after I had finished the first listen. But it was "wooooo" ... You've created a song that gets to the heart of a thing without being tied to the thing that made the writer write it... that's magical... I agree with Greg - it's an anthem... wow... many thanks for saying what many of us think, feel, and wanted to say....

MN Homebrew Radio show has a monthly writing contest. This month it was to use the word "wait" or "waiting" in your song. So the hook line of the chorus popped into my head at 5:30 in the morning and the rest of the song came pretty quickly…
I'm sick of those wise guys that lead us ....
Wise Guys
I tell you I want something I need it right now
Something to take me whey up above the clouds
I want to get high I want to learn how to fly
So I can get away from all these wise guys…

Part 1 of a travelling trilogy. Played on electric guitar in Dropped D Tuning. On the Wetband site here at Alonetone I overdubbed some slide guitar and bass: https://alonetone.com/wetband/playlists/traveling-trilogy/traveling-on-by-woody-b…
Trying out a new strat: not letting myself work on details on the computer until the skeleton of the song is complete. Result is a lot of variety in songwriting, but a bit rougher arrangement/mix.

I'm trying my hand at creating instrumentals for Sync Licensing. This track is actually one file containing 3 pieces of music: Orion's Belt 1, 2 & 3.
You can find my instrumentals on Pond5. Here is the address:

Thought I'd share something from my latest project: Putting together instrumentals of public domain songs to use as intermission music for a community theater production. We got dinged for streaming copyrighted music in our previous production…

Good therapy. Best medicine for the soul.

Very touching. Very nice.

Love it Colleen, and bless Gene, a kind loving soul he was.
I just discovered your Colab-O-Rama playlist. I listed to most of and just enjoyed every moment.
got chills listening to this!

This is still making me tingle. Those first two lines... I want everyone to feel it.
Beautiful Colleen, beautiful.
Peace anthem, and so beautifully performed. Magical!
thank you

How did I miss this one? Sweet love indeed. Glad you dug this one up!!
Your voice is awesome! Love the visual story of this song.
Such a lovely and sad tune. Well done
Is really chill, but with such a happy energy too. I love it!
“Get out of bed…. I need the sheets for the table”…. Classic lyrics. Oh my…. Poor Simone
I dig this one!!!! Great vibe! Hope north of Thunder Bay brought good things to you!!
This is gorgeous!
I love this - not rough at all. The lyrics are really compelling. Love the bridge….
I agree with Ron! The last one makes me want to dance. Love them!
Gorgeous!!

They surely are indeed…. Gritty and brutal. Like so many love stories. This one needs to be a sound track to a true crime series
Sounds awesome Tilden! A great choice to have playing during intermission. Very nice rendition.
Very cool story telling…. I forgot we had done this one!! Fun to hear all our voices unexpectedly. Hope you are well!!
Delightfully dreamy!
