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…

Gritty and gorgeous! Love the song, but the interplay between you and the others is just off the scale fun and authentic. Love the genuine warmth you guys share - and wonderful synergy!

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…

your voice keeps getting better and better Colleen....you guys are recording some amazing song arounf that table!!! I really do feel your inspiration from Loretta.... Excellent
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…

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!

I had a wish to sing along with Greg, so he offered me a piece of his Cherry Pie to sing along with... I added a few other bits here and there as well. Thanks Greg!!! This was a fun one for me... added some piano and a teeny bit of percussion....
We got motivated to write something a bit light hearted about our Covid-19 Times.... I hope you'll laugh and sing along with Roger , Colleen, Greg and Steve on this one... any maybe raise a glass of your personal moonshine!!!

I had myself a dream last night
As I tossed and turned in bed
The window was open wide
The street noise jangled, in my head
.
I was dreaming of a better time
It was all so clear to me
Wind whistled through the pine trees…
Not sure how I feel about this one. It’s not as bad as some of my crap, but it’s not that great either. I kinda like how the bass does some strumming, but damn if that intro isn’t way too long.
The rhythm guitars are an ES-335 Pro to a RYRA…
Excuse the weird title. After completion of the track i had a really weird dream and this is my interpretation of it.
Min 4:00 and on is a calming landing into peacefulness and mindfulness.
As the title suggests mixing 4 spontaneous played violin parts with sample CNN newsreel and the poem Egrets by Mary Oliver www.poetseers.org/contemporary-poets/mary-oliver/mary-oliver-poems/egrets/

This song has been sat on the marvellous mechanical mouse organ in the broom-cupboard for well over a year.
A few weeks ago I got a bit of a scare - the mouse organ nearly broke down (in the middle of sorting out Delta Dawn). While I was fixing…
This is one of the many songs going round my head from when I was young. No idea whose version I heard and used to sing along to back then, but it was written by Larry Collins and Alex Harvey.
(EDIT: Done some research. It was Dottie West's…
I was flapping around working on something else with just vocal and guitar the other day. It wasn't going well, so I just started slapping the guitar and singing one of my favourite songs.
What I didn't realise was that I was recording it…
Such a slinky cool vibe... And Embers!!!! Are there any of them left anymore? What a story.... did they share a plate of pancakes? Or was it a flame burger? Did he drive off on his Harley? Or was it a Ford Escort?
Antoinette plays keys, Anonymous plays drums, Evan is guitar left, Chris is guitar right (sorry I was a jerk and too loud) - This dates from 1977 when I was a classical major and Antoinette a piano major. Even though this improvisation was from…
Finally, at last... I've got something finished...
Been working on this for a few weeks.
A bit of a rocker... (and an aging lecherous one at that)
I got it as close as I could and then mixed it loud... I've over-cooked it slightly - but…

You sound great, Colleen! Great tune, love the feel and atmosphere, plus, the hook is fantastic.

Oh Baby! Great Lyrics, Good Singing, Nice bounce, A little Harmony, A touch of Lament & Reflection and a handsome backup band! That was fun!

Oh my this makes me so happy!!!! Cheers to us indeed !!!
Are you dreaming of up north?... this is a real keeper. I love your lyrics as always and the harmonica is the perfect touch!!
Love the spare but powerful lyrics!!! Powerful all around. Great song!
So true!!!! An alternative universe to be sure.
Yup!!! Just as Steve said.... absolutely beautiful!!!
Zoiks!!!! That's a cool batch of energy indeed...
Cool vibes... makes me want a nice long massage!!!
A cool breeze....
I bet that’s Mr. Connor on harmonica and Mr. Krell on lead.... nice singing Mr. Harris!!!
Beautiful!!!! Truly... I love the hopeful change at about 1:20. Very uplifting
Another masterpiece! Love the rhythm of this and your voice is awesome!
Lovely!!!
Somehow this is a perfect representation of how "noisy" our daily lives are, and how the cacophony seems almost normal.... Cool stuff here
Perfect!!
This is another of my all time favorites. You guys totally nailed it!!!! That's some magical broom closet...
One of my all time favorite songs.... I love to sing this one too!!!
Such a slinky cool vibe... And Embers!!!! Are there any of them left anymore? What a story.... did they share a plate of pancakes? Or was it a flame burger? Did he drive off on his Harley? Or was it a Ford Escort?
Wow!!! It totally does fit the narrative of Lafayette Square...
Ha Ha!!!! Truth be told, I could definitely be in better shape, so there were a few moments where I had to "catch my breath" indeed....
How fun is it for me to hear some of these earlier tracks!!! This is the best way to start a Friday I know....
