Here's my submission for the songwriting challenge for MN Homebrew for April - playing off of theme of the Beatles hit song "Here Comes The Sun". It's also an ode to spring here in the northland of MN!!! We were in shorts this weekend. Hooray…

Wow! That turned out pretty good.
It's such a great song, and I think we captured some of that.
I like the was the bridge turned out with just your voice and uke.

I wrote the lyrics to this song a couple of weeks ago while thinking of personal reflections. I figured out the melody just in time to head down to Greg Connor's MN coffee table and get he and Mark Lofgren's great voices and guitars on it with…

Hello friends!
I'm happy to submit this studio version of a song I wrote in early spring. It became the title track for my latest EP release of 5 songs. I hope you enjoy it!
Thanks to everyone who has listened and given feedback. I…
Glad to get some inspiration from new friends and an old video of Jackson Browne's speech accepting his induction into the rock and roll hall of fame.... As usual a first draft and a rough cut, but glad to be feeling the muse again...

This is a true story. Im pretty sure this guy still has a taxi job on the night shift in Denver.
Too long since I’ve posted a song. Most importantly, I got Norm to dust off the skins and record some percussion for me. Good to hear Norm and…
I like this one, even though there's not a lot to it musically. Mix wise, there's tons going on. Four rhythm guitar tracks, five vocal tracks, four lead guitar tracks, and (really) two drum tracks. Oh yeah, and one lonely bass guitar.

Someone’s been unkind

Look for a reason to smile
The Sun will shine your way
Look for a reason to smile
And watch the clouds drift away

And here's another song from 1994, with a sparkling new "Andrew Russe Band" arrangement fresh from the broom-cupboard.
Like most of my songs, it was written with an acoustic guitar, a pen, and an A4 pad. The ones…
That shoe box from 1994 must literally be vibrating with energy.... Like someone up in outer space could see it's energy field from a million miles away. This one is gut wrenchingly beautiful. Amazing emotion.
Written for Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show's current songwriting challenge, "write a song with two words in the title starting with P".
The term 'pseudo' means 'false' or 'pretend.' Pseudo-psychology, therefore, refers to a psychological practice…
