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.

I wrote the lyrics and melody to this song a week or so ago when I was feeling that unsettling disconnected feeling we all get from time to time when we're missing the people we love.... Then I gave myself the challenge to try a few things with…
This is my contribution to the Song Writing Challenge: Write a song about "First Date".
Written for Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show / Pioneer Radio 90.1 Thief River Falls.
A new song.
I did this one on my own
Due to the corona curfew here we can't play with the band
A song about collecting, and the piling of stuff that can become a burden
--------------------------------------
I have been gathering so much…
This song was inspired by a long walk....
Lyrics:
Down by the river, down by the shore we go
The moon above cast a beautiful glow
We walked around talking through the night
I can’t help but think how it felt right
Hey Constance, don’t you feel…
The Quarantine Kiss
Ever since all this shit began
Ive been socially distant
As safe as I can
Aloof and alone
But I’m not lonely
When I stay at home
I’ve got you to hold me
But there’s something missing
Are we being too careful…
The fascists will be gone from power in four days (barring further coup d'états of course)... what am I going to write about when the adults are in control again?
This was written for the 2018 RPM Challenge. I know all of the guitars used…
This was the title track to last year's RPM Challenge. It's only been 11 months but this is the third different version of this I've done already. I thought this would be the best of them but it probably is not. It's faster and it's in a different…
I think it was the summer of 2016. I was trying to work on 50/90 and I set some rules for myself involving double tracking the crap out of everything and not using any GarageBandy short cuts like direct signal guitars with amp sims and copying…
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
ive had it with sad tunes

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.
you guys are ready for the road....get out of the house and take this band on tour!!! :-) great song

Nice vibe, great chords, love it!!
Greg said this was live from the coffee table ? nicely done ! are you able to play locally in coffee houses? this would be wonderful.
This is beautiful. Nice work on this one Colleen! I'm amazed at the quality of recording from a small handheld recorder sitting on your coffee table.
Lovely song. Wow, clever lyrics. And I love the spare arrangement.
Very sweet!
Lovely!
You always come up with the best melodies and lyrics. I love the simplicity of this. The doubling of voice (W/Reverb) is a nice touch.
Proods love you....never go away!
Awesome. No one writes lyrics like you do Colleen! First class.
Very nice!
Thought I'd commented on this the other day....must be getting old....well written and enjoyed
