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 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…

Outstanding and thought provoking. Gaslighting has permeated our society lately and finally it looks like some of the people responsible might be getting the recognition they deserve.

Inspiring and very moving song, Colleen. I have some friends who have been through this disturbing experience of gaslighting. I will get them to hear this song, and I know they will love it!

“How To Assemble Your Android”
Yesterday a box of parts came to my front door
I thought she came assembled, ready to be my whore
Tore the box apart and to no one’s surprise I was missing…
Going back through some of the oldies and goodies and found this one! What a fun time we all had. still a classic to be sure. I hope this finds you well and enjoying life! All my best!!!
A friend got me excited about writing short instrumentals for Video, TV etc and posting them on Pond5 ( A site catering to that type of thing). I recorded this little banjo piece this morning.
Having fun with crunchy guitars and learning about making a sequenced drum part.
Guitars, bass, “drums,” “singing”: Ben Niven
Lead guitar in intro: Darren Tipper
Hi Ben! Thanks so much for listening to my music and the thoughtful and kind comments on my music. And it allowed me to discover yours! I like the dramatic sound to the guitars on this track. It should be a action movie soundtrack. Excellent lyrics too!

Crumbs, even this is 23 years old!
We used it as a set-opener in the last band I was in.

That's a mighty fine triangle indeed... love the banjo picking too. Did you stuff a rattle snake to get that shaker? You and that Marie are mighty fine indeed!
Comments on Colleen Dillon's stuff
I'm laughing all over again! This was fun.
Great!! one of the best from the coffee table!! keep it up..
Great to hear you guys again, that's a nifty little song .... hopefully will give me a kick up the backside to record some songs myself .....
That was a lot of fun! I’m tickled with the outcome. I think the song and everyone’s contribution resulted in a great collaboration.
Yes, coffee table is back....nice to hear you guys together...great live playin and singin!!!
"it's a reggae rhythm" mello down easy
and yet another version I've forgotten. It works...It's a hit.
Damn. I've lost my mind. This is fantastic and I don't have it. Downloaded!!
much fun.
Olive this tune. I did like 3 versions of it. Just couldn't get enough.
I'm stalking your music. You've progressed so much since we collaborated.
Playing the Uke now? Awesome. I built one last year from a kit. I wanted to see if I was interested. I'm a learning boy :)
You did and it was great
First class song , a Big ' Well Done ' to all who stand up to Bullies .......
Outstanding and thought provoking. Gaslighting has permeated our society lately and finally it looks like some of the people responsible might be getting the recognition they deserve.
Another beautiful, meaningful song. Colleen. Love you much? Mom
Inspiring and very moving song, Colleen. I have some friends who have been through this disturbing experience of gaslighting. I will get them to hear this song, and I know they will love it!
Excellent lyrics and singing!!..Love the chorus
well, that was fun.
Oh my ... Great track ' My Lords & Ladies ' . I think I get your drift ....... do love magic moments ...
Comments made by Colleen Dillon
so awesome! Lucky you and lucky Kimmy
Hey!!!! Is this a new account for my old friend SLK???? I can't mistake that lovely voice and guitar work. Good to hear you playing here!!!
Love the chorus so much! The power of music may just do it indeed.
Sounds like a very challenging love affair indeed… the lyrics are haunting just like Ron says. The harmonica is such a great forlorn sound.
Going back through some of the oldies and goodies and found this one! What a fun time we all had. still a classic to be sure. I hope this finds you well and enjoying life! All my best!!!
I love this! Perfect music to have with my coffee on an early summer morning!
Apropos for the times we’re living in for sure! I can hear this like an anthem! Great song.
Gorgeous! I really like this
Cool vibes indeed!
Love this one Roger!!!!

And here I thought you had a zither going there... love the screwdriver. But mostly love the idea behind this song! Yay for the positive vibes!!!
It does snow in April here in MN… you captured it perfectly. Lovely tune! I like sprinkles on the breast buns too! Happy spring
Lovely!
Absolutely lovely!
What a beautiful and happy song to start the day with. Nice collaboration guys!!
Another great song! Maybe it’s time to get the band back together!,!
No warning needed for this gem. Somehow that banjo is the perfect backdrop for this melancholy song.
Perfect song for these challenging times indeed. I really love this song!!
That's a mighty fine triangle indeed... love the banjo picking too. Did you stuff a rattle snake to get that shaker? You and that Marie are mighty fine indeed!
