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…
Steve developed this beautiful track with his ukulele and I added some lyrics to make a "positive message" song for the times we are in.... Hope it makes you smile too...
It Won’t Be Like This Forever
Sitting here on my front steps

Oh yeah. Nice one. Love the title (although there is one bit I want to keep - I've kinda got used to working at home and REALLY don't want to go back to commuting!)
Here's the first of several versions that you'll see from a collaboration across the inter webs started by Greg Connor. He got us together on the Zoom and then look what happened!!!! Music and lyrics collaborated with the talents of Steve Krell…
Still good! I just put a mention of our little group on my Minnesota Association of Songwriters "Artist Profile"

Collaboration between Carl Unbehaun and Myself.
Introducing Carl Unbehaun, the host of Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show. Pioneer Radio 90.1 Thief River Falls MN
I had the words, and Carl had the melody plus the ability to deliver the song…
This song is the result of exchanging "One Line Zingers" with my friend Tom last Saturday while playing a little music.
He challenged me to write a song about him and he would do the same at my expense.
The funiest song wins.

The circling of life
The ability to find your way
Like a compass in the night
And the coming of another day
It’s like when the stars align
You’ve been given just a glimpse of truth
And you think that you might find
The Optimism held in…
What a pretty melody to bring the lyrics to life. Like we are walking down the path in the song. Lovely mandolin. Is that you on all the parts? Pretty cool
All of a sudden, Mercy. Just like that.

It's been a while...
This song was recorded with another verse, it ties the song together nicely but who the heck wants to listen to a 5 minute song about depressing stuff? We're really looking forward to feedback from those of you who've like…
I wrote this song about Dementia, my father does not know who I am even though he lives with my wife and I...he is 91 and very happy and never gets upset, but I can see he gets scared sometimes. he has to be watched all the time..he has wandered…
another for the RPM ....Live in the living room
I came to the city

LANCASTER STREET
Midnight in Cowtown. 90 degrees
Too hot for a blanket. Too hot for a sheet
The trash on the sidewalk is trying to sleep
Breathing the bus fumes on Lancaster Street
Sunshine brings tacos. Sunshine brings beans.
Sunshine…
Old Age is a bitch.....
As this game of truth, slowly fills up with lies
As the happy ever after gets more and more disguised
The inner truth will pull the mind closed tight
As we introduced ourselves to the end of the night
Somedays…
Pretty mandolin. This is another one of my favorites of yours. I bet there are a few in that group might even tell Eric Clapton that his chords need to be simpler...this is lovely
Merry Christmas all!. This is a collab I did with Wrinkled shirt a while back. was originally released under Wreathwlaker.
i played 4 different guitars over WS's frosty tune, each with their own personality.
This reappeared in my email as a new release. What a fun treat to hear it again today. Happy Thanksgiving to the dear Proods!!! Always thankful to have your music in my life.
LAYING LOW THIS CHRISTMAS
Times are still tough this December
And money, it don't grow on trees
I've watched 'em all fall since September
If I could, I'd be selling the leaves
We've been making ends meet on a shoestring
Trying to find…
Wow! This song just really touched me deeply. What a beautiful song... so raw but so lovely and warm too.
All my best to you this holiday time. I hope the best for you and wish that the hope you express here is infectious to more than just me.
OH YEAH
SOON AS YOUR BORN YOUR MADE TO FEEL SMALL
THEY TAKE YOUR TIME INSTEAD OF GIVE YOU IT ALL
THE FRUSTRATION THE PAIN YOU FEEL
NO ONE SEES IT SO IT CAN’T BE REAL
THEY CONTROL YOU AT HOME AND AT SCHOOL
THEY SEND YOU CRAZY WITH SO…
