This is a song I wrote this week, trying to capture that strange emotion you sometimes feel during times of great milestones in your life - good things happening, changes, moving on. Joy and melancholy all at the same time. Everyone feels it…
This was a write it and record it in one session song challenge that my songwriting friends and I came up with this week. Lions and Lambs was started thinking of spring, but it turned into a song about relationships... as they often do.

This is one of my favorite collaborations with Paul Lennon so far. I wrote the song with king of a bluesy feel, and then found a perfect marriage for the music with one of Paul's awesome tracks. Then we tinkered on it together to make it so…
Well the MN songwriters were in my living room tonight. We all shared our contributions to the "glass" songwriting challenge. Here's the live version of Poorly Blown Glass with Greg Connor on Guitar, Scott Zosel on Mandolin, Colin Walterson…
Here's the second one we did at the Winterland Studios. You'll hear Greg Connor on guitar and vocals, Colin W. on bass and vocals and Randy C. on piano. This was a blast! I think this is definitely the best version yet of this song.

INFATUATION UNREQUITED
They say it's just infatuation
I only wish that it was true
Infatuation unrequited
feels like love to me for you
And then they say, "Silence is golden,"
and I don't know what to do
The Autumn leaves the branches…

Okay this is killer!!!! I was also expecting a spoofer song for your Pirate submission, you surprise us all with this amazing tale... Beautiful and a bit scary (especially the teeth in the cup!) Talk about swinging for the fences. LOVE IT!!!!!!
Sorry I missed this one earlier in the month. It's a real beauty. Love the flowy feel to this. Feel like I'm sitting on the back of a car, listening while the ocean is off in the distance...
EVERYTHING
Everything you know or think you know
Everything you know is wrong
Life ain't no hootenanny
and you don't have to sing along
You can laugh and you can mumble
You can hold your breath
Take a little piece of my heart now honey…
It was cold just for one moment, memories flow imposed on each other as whimsical mosaics that didn't seem his own. Was it the dog called Monty, or ...
All around full of crystal icy droplets hanging on the trees, the sun is shining through the branches and there is no-one around. I'm such a jolly one still believe in love.

THE LESSON
I saw her in a music store in Fort Worth, Texas
I'd driven in to buy some strings
It was like getting hit by a little fist in my solar plexis
when she said, “Can you help me tune this thing?”
She had a smile. A thin disguise…

If you take a new lover
Turn the lights of when you go
You take the pain
I'm takin' the A train
You can have your nights…
He Leads Me Home by Tom Brandow
From the first time I fell, till the last time I’ll fall
Jesus is there to lead me home.
From the first breathe I took, till the last one I’ll take
Jesus is there to lead me home.
He Leads Me Home, He…

I decided to pick a few chords at random, just like that, wrote them down and then somehow tried to make a melody with it, no idea how, but it worked :-) I then added some lyrics et voilà...here's the result. A quick "just for fun" project. I…

EXCELLENT .. EXCELLENT .. EXCELLENT You got the touch! Well sung and played! I love the lyrics! Time to press Replay
Sweet gentle song - nice.
Not everyone has a voice that so effortlessly conveys such depth live. Lovely.
I'm really digging the 'down home' vibe on this!
So sweet in it's apparent simplicity. Very difficult to pull off, you made it.

Up near the Temprance right now... Came back for another listen to this lovely song

Cool vibe on this one! Feels retro

This one is really great. Love the visuals.... Feel the desert heat
