Oh ..... this makes me proud. You guys are great party animals.
Listen to this; ukulele, slide guitar, organ, great vocals. It’s like we used to do in college when we filled the bathtub with all the booze.
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…

Yup just keeping to our selves and getting a real handle on our spring to do list. Very tired of my cooking and looking forward to all of us being well.
You made short work of another excellent tune, my joy to know you

I wrote this song while out hiking some awesome trails in Zion National Park... gave me some excellent inspiration. I also tried some different stuff with the mixing and using my keyboard... so trying to push a few of my envelopes...

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…

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…
Cool track, Colleen. I like the space you left in it, and I really like the way you recorded this so that I could really just soak in the lyrics and melody.
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…

First Day of the 2024 RPM challenge .... so here is Song 1
I'm experimenting with my old analogue synth (Prophet 6) this year
Thanks to anyone who listens! A gloomy song for gloomy times. Onward!
One day

It’s over, it’s over…
This was an RPM track back in the day, and I've been playing it various ways to find a setting for it within the band repertoire. This doesn't sound much like our band would do it but it came out nicely, so i thought i'd share it.
Sitting on a bar stool thinking about Jane
I wonder if she still remembers my name
It’s been a long time as you might guess
Last time I saw her it was quite a mess
She called me names and made it clear
She blew me a kiss in the rear view…
...and suddenly I realise it's Christmas Eve, and it's The Day Before. Years have passed and you don't expect anything special for a long time, and at least in Lower Saxony there is no snow, at all. But the magic of the childhood is still there…
“Jangle Balls” written, recorded, and mixed by W. Ng on December 16-17, 2023, for December’s 30 Day Songs challenge (30daysongs.com).
“Jangle Balls” was also submitted to December’s REM Challenge (via RPM Challenge).

This one is short and to the point. Dedicated to those with with guts to fly in the face of conformity and live their best life. I try but it's hard to detox after all these years. Recorded as part of the August 2022 RPM - Record Every Month challenge…
Been out of socket music wise. The dentist wanted to redo all my teeth. A new smile in one day my ass. Took over a year. Just now getting to where I can half-way sing and blow my harp. The song? Sorta explains itself.
If this sounds like it was recorded in a single take on a $7 USB microphone, and then cheesy audacity reverb thrown in, that's because it was.
The old guitar and its player are both on their last legs, but unpacking after a move it beckoned…
It's too bloody cold to go out today so I picked up the guitar and this came out ....Thanks for listening

What a delightful and peaceful song! I can picture you enjoying a quiet morning there in your pretty spot. And love the hint of the whistle at the end! Or was that a real bird?
Reg has been reading the papers again, it always brings him down, but this time he can't carry on looking the other way and ignoring the news and the facts that the life, the freedoms he holds dear are slowly being dissolved not just by his government…

Fantastic twist on the song, absolutely love it.
Oh ..... this makes me proud. You guys are great party animals. Listen to this; ukulele, slide guitar, organ, great vocals. It’s like we used to do in college when we filled the bathtub with all the booze.

So beautiful in its simplicity, the best songs often need nothing more than a voice and accompaniment. Great song, Colleen!

Cool track, Colleen. I like the space you left in it, and I really like the way you recorded this so that I could really just soak in the lyrics and melody.
Great number, there is nothing like a live recording of people who can play and sing well together.
Great tune, Colleen! I really like the earthy feel. Real blues tones here, and I love it.
