I was so excited when SlKrell wrote to ask if I would do the vocals on this excellent song he wrote! I loved his lyrics and the rocking backing guitars. Hope you enjoy it too!

“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 really enjoyed your solo version and this is icing on the cake.
Sounds like a good night had by all. ....
Still good this morning!
I love your vocal control.keep it up
lovely!
Perfect. Don't change a thing!
Sitting around your coffee table has been a lot of fun! This just puts a smile on my face to hear it! Beautiful song you wrote! Thanks for letting us play along.
With a little work, this could be amazing. Really nice simple lyrical structure, cool melody, one of your best yet!
you guys really make some outstanding recordings with that TASCAM...sounds great everyone!!!
Lovely , no one else that I know has ever done an accupella.
Really cool colleen
Outstanding lyrics and beautiful voice a winning combination!!!
Thanks so much for the kind support Greg, John and @Castratibrothers! Very much appreciated
Sorry should have logged in.
Lovely piece, very poignant lyrics that shine through the melancholy.
Very powerful Colleen! It reminds me of a flickering star in a dark sky or something on the wind. Beautiful poetry. Thank you for sharing it!
This is powerful. Sparse is the perfect approach and it accents your message perfectly. One after another . . . You just keep setting the bar higher!
You're really rocking this one Colleen! That bass guitar always gets me. It's like riding low in a comfy Cadillac! Great song!
Thanks for all the good Vibes everyone!!! Maybe SlKrell will become an honorary MN Vikings fan too!!!
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!
