We were around the coffee table on Thursday night and dusted this one off from my 2014 archive. Greg Connor and Mark Lofgren pitching in on vocals and guitars....
I like this 2017 version....

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…
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…
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…
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…
Here's the second song I recently decided to do with a studio recording from one I wrote and posted here a while ago as a purely vocal version. It's one of my favorites.... I hope you'll enjoy it too
Singing In The Silence
Verse 1:
Singing…
Here's my last studio effort of the summer, as we roll into fall!

well after listening to the mixers on alone tone I decided to do some apple loops.
I had a great time with it , so here is a jazz tune on the positive side

The Conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn Forming the Christmas
Star left we here breathless. I fiddled with the big foot telescope, Kim with her Ceremonial feathers and all, but we ended just holding hands
Best of everything…

This is not the same ponderous endless time being that was mentioned by someone, somewhere. But rather I touch the water lightly and expecting the circles to disappear. And again.
Not all house's are full of joy at Christmas ......This wasn't actually our house
CHRISTMAS TIME AT OUR HOUSE
It was Christmas time at our house sat round the table waiting
Waiting for our father to return from the pub where he‘d a been…
I got to thinking about a terrible year i had going back now 18 years where i lost 2 of my best friends Alex and Martin and my father in the same year just months apart. To lose one friend is hard enough but to lose three well you can imagine…
Social Distancing is the theme for this Holiday

Your voice is soft like snowflakes - what a magical track! Happy new year. :)
Really loving this one, Colleen! It has a real radio-friendly sound. Happy New Year to you. :)
Nice wake-up song. Like the harmonies.
Enjoying this again. Such a fine song. So well done.
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.
What a fine lyric. You speak for all of us from the first line...
Pegging the Jimmy Buffet scenery with a country song. Love the steel and your solid lyric.
Great chorus.
Such a sweet song and message.
Lovely song Colleen. Great lyrics and wonderful singing.
