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"

Wrote this song yesterday after another long week of crummy news in the world and had the good fortune of the Minnesota song writers in my living room tonight to help me bring it to life. Greg Connor - on the cigar beat box, Colin Walterson on…
I love your vocal harmonies. These are great lyrics!! (I always wanted to be Madonna too! Desperately Seeking Susan hooked me for good). Great song you wonderful Proods!!! A total instant fav!
I struggled to get this thing completed. I've been sat on it for weeks, finished, debating whether I was really prepared to let it go.
I loved the song when I wrote it, inspired by a wonderful week at the end of September. But the recording…
Recorded live at my friend Colleen's studio in the clouds with Scott on the mandolin, Greg on guitar, Collin on bass, Colleen on ukulele. Thanks for a fun challenge!
This is a rough cut, but I like it. Here are the lyrics:
TOMORROW WILL BE YOU
It’s been a long time since I saw you
I’m at a loss for words
But when I heard the news
I went straight to your room
There’s no point in looking…
Gene sent me over this great backer and i tried to fill the vocalists shoes......this is one of two different mix's the other is over on Songcrafters ........Thanks Gene

While dancing to the sweet vibe of that sunshine

So I was locked in the broom-cupboard, checking out some old songs that need recording.
I'd just picked one and then suddenly this thing came out of nowehere. It started with one of those guitarist doodles that other musicians love so much…
This song's going on 32 years old...
Some 12 years older than I was when I wrote it!!
I borrowed the title from one of my favourite madrigals, The Silver Swan by Orlando Gibbons:

Here is my entry for the "Who Knew" Song Writing Challenge. Thanks for including me :)
Lyrics:
When I was a young boy
I never knew what it meant
to be unloved
When I was a young man
I never knew what it meant
to be undone
Now I’m…
This is really a cool song... some essence of Bowie coming to me. Your vocals are really haunting. In times where we're listening and giving accolades in this digital media, know that your music brings us all together! Although I will admit to a fantasy of bringing all us alone toners together live for the funnest jam session ever! Thanks for this great song!!! An instant fav
Imagining my band imaginary band in my head on one of those 60's type music shows. Just having fun with this one nothing too serious lyrically like solving world peace or finding high consciousness ..although it really is a true story.
Somehow you guys make even creepy subject matter sound happy! Love the vibe on this. Who Knew that this challenge would bring out such different stories in every song's approach to the topic. Great one!
Here is my contribution to the latest song writing challenge posted in the Alonetone Forum.

Who Knew when I first met you
