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…
We got motivated to write something a bit light hearted about our Covid-19 Times.... I hope you'll laugh and sing along with Roger , Colleen, Greg and Steve on this one... any maybe raise a glass of your personal moonshine!!!

I had myself a dream last night
As I tossed and turned in bed
The window was open wide
The street noise jangled, in my head
.
I was dreaming of a better time
It was all so clear to me
Wind whistled through the pine trees…
Not sure how I feel about this one. It’s not as bad as some of my crap, but it’s not that great either. I kinda like how the bass does some strumming, but damn if that intro isn’t way too long.
The rhythm guitars are an ES-335 Pro to a RYRA…
Excuse the weird title. After completion of the track i had a really weird dream and this is my interpretation of it.
Min 4:00 and on is a calming landing into peacefulness and mindfulness.
As the title suggests mixing 4 spontaneous played violin parts with sample CNN newsreel and the poem Egrets by Mary Oliver www.poetseers.org/contemporary-poets/mary-oliver/mary-oliver-poems/egrets/

This song has been sat on the marvellous mechanical mouse organ in the broom-cupboard for well over a year.
A few weeks ago I got a bit of a scare - the mouse organ nearly broke down (in the middle of sorting out Delta Dawn). While I was fixing…
This is one of the many songs going round my head from when I was young. No idea whose version I heard and used to sing along to back then, but it was written by Larry Collins and Alex Harvey.
(EDIT: Done some research. It was Dottie West's…
I was flapping around working on something else with just vocal and guitar the other day. It wasn't going well, so I just started slapping the guitar and singing one of my favourite songs.
What I didn't realise was that I was recording it…
Such a slinky cool vibe... And Embers!!!! Are there any of them left anymore? What a story.... did they share a plate of pancakes? Or was it a flame burger? Did he drive off on his Harley? Or was it a Ford Escort?
Antoinette plays keys, Anonymous plays drums, Evan is guitar left, Chris is guitar right (sorry I was a jerk and too loud) - This dates from 1977 when I was a classical major and Antoinette a piano major. Even though this improvisation was from…
Finally, at last... I've got something finished...
Been working on this for a few weeks.
A bit of a rocker... (and an aging lecherous one at that)
I got it as close as I could and then mixed it loud... I've over-cooked it slightly - but…

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
Well ,I would love to show up "live". Ill mp3 as I can. Minnesota songwriter in Absence, says Nicely written and recorded. "Who Knew" We do, I do too. See you there.
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

Are you dreaming of up north?... this is a real keeper. I love your lyrics as always and the harmonica is the perfect touch!!
Love the spare but powerful lyrics!!! Powerful all around. Great song!
So true!!!! An alternative universe to be sure.
Yup!!! Just as Steve said.... absolutely beautiful!!!
Zoiks!!!! That's a cool batch of energy indeed...
Cool vibes... makes me want a nice long massage!!!
A cool breeze....
I bet that’s Mr. Connor on harmonica and Mr. Krell on lead.... nice singing Mr. Harris!!!
Beautiful!!!! Truly... I love the hopeful change at about 1:20. Very uplifting
Another masterpiece! Love the rhythm of this and your voice is awesome!
Lovely!!!
Somehow this is a perfect representation of how "noisy" our daily lives are, and how the cacophony seems almost normal.... Cool stuff here
Perfect!!
This is another of my all time favorites. You guys totally nailed it!!!! That's some magical broom closet...
One of my all time favorite songs.... I love to sing this one too!!!
Such a slinky cool vibe... And Embers!!!! Are there any of them left anymore? What a story.... did they share a plate of pancakes? Or was it a flame burger? Did he drive off on his Harley? Or was it a Ford Escort?
Wow!!! It totally does fit the narrative of Lafayette Square...
Ha Ha!!!! Truth be told, I could definitely be in better shape, so there were a few moments where I had to "catch my breath" indeed....
How fun is it for me to hear some of these earlier tracks!!! This is the best way to start a Friday I know....
