Thanks for posting this, Colleen. It is very relaxing and "centering". ^_^

Nice song, Colleen! Thank you for taking the time to (re-?)record it and post it. :) If you don't mind my saying so, I kinda thought the lyric "Old fools cut my soul like a knife" might sound better -- maybe -- as "Old souls cut this fool like a knife." But i don't really know the story behind how you came to write each of these lines. Moreover, i kinda felt maybe more of the lines could do that sort of switcheroo with the meaning/intent throughout the song, but just didn't feel comfortable re-writing someone else's heartfelt lyrics, LOL !! Hope you don't take that notion the wrong way; i meant it with the best of intentions. (Like a lot of song lyrics they can at first appear rather plain and lifeless on a stark, silent page -- but once the music started i was pleasantly surprised by how well it all played out! Heh, heh.. Then again, i *always* enjoy hearing your voice!! :-)

I was having my share of PESS (post election stress syndrome) and headed to northern MN to shake it off and wrote this one while watching a beautiful quiet snowfall happen. I recorded it finally today on my little TASCAM that we often use around…

Your voice is soft like snowflakes - what a magical track! Happy new year. :)

I decided this was a good song to post on Thanksgiving as a way to say thanks to all the folks on AloneTone for listening to my music over these past few years. This is another song in the studio work I've been doing this year. We're still tinkering…

I decided to keep working on this one a bit on the "keep messing with it" program.... added some backing vocals and some piano.... kind of like where its heading after the one take wonder before... Any other suggestions are very welcome…

Nice wake-up song. Like the harmonies.

I wrote this song about 2 years ago and shared it here on Alonetone back then. I decided to do a studio recording of it recently. With the help of the team at F5 Soundhouse here in Minneapolis we've created this updated version. I hope you enjoy…

Enjoying this again. Such a fine song. So well done.

Well here's my contribution to the Pirate challenge from Robert Palomo. I think you'll agree it was time to call it a night on this one, but it was a lot of fun writing and recording it! Hope it gives you a chuckle or two. Why Do Parrots…

What a lovely song. Perfect for a Broadway musical about an old parrot looking back on it's life. Or an old pirate, too, I guess.

Here's my last studio effort of the summer, as we roll into fall! I wrote this one earlier in the year sipping mojito's at the proverbial beach bar and then posted it here.... I thought I'd give it a little sprucing up with the help from my…
