The MN coffee table is back!!!! We have a new member too - Joel Schaubert, who joined Mark Lofgren and Greg Connor - veterans of the coffee table. Once again we wrote this song and recorded it in my backyard coffee table (hence some of the wind…

Cold Winter Moon
Oh cold winter moon
And the wind that blows
Bring me a change
For my weary soul
Take away this longing
That fills my heart
Something is over…

This was one of the most hilarious songwriting sessions we've had in a long time.... One for all the single people still searching for the elusive LTR out there - a classic with Greg Connor - guitar, Mark Lofgren - guitar and lead vocals, yours…

This is my first collaboration with the talented SLKrell! He had a reggae song called "Rancho Raggae" posted a couple of weeks ago in need of a lyric, so I asked If I could write some for it, and poof whala!! Here it is! Thanks Slkrell for the…
We decided to share one more piece of cherry pie! Thanks Greg Connor for this now epic song. Thanks to Paul for his beautiful music. Always a ton of fun to collaborate with!!!
Update: Paul took the first version and made it even better. So impressed with his talents. Thanks everyone for your kind words on the original. I know you'll like this version even more!
I was listening to some of Paul Lennon's great…
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....

I read recently that the term "gaslighting" was the number one search in Merriam Webster's Dictionary this year. So this song is dedicated to all of us who have stood up to that over the years... especially my very besties... you know who you…

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.

Here is my contribution to the Minnesota Association of Songwriters challenge: Write a song titled "Mississippi Moon" and use this chord progression somewhere in the song (adjust for the Key you are in) "C, G, Am, C, Dm"

What’s on your mind
Are you losing confidence
Someone’s been unkind

And watch the clouds drift away
Feeling like you…

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…
