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.

This one has the stuff. I purposely left it alone for a few days so I could come back and listen to it "*fresh*".
I think it's going to be the star of the Minnesota Songwriters compilation album.

So I had this song, not quite finished, I sort of insisted Greg Connor sing it, he also wrote the last verse. Steve Krell added the solo break. I think they helped to bring the song alive. Oh yeah, I'm in the Chorus ...... hiding Somewhere. :) :)

Comments on Colleen Dillon's stuff
Wonderful.
really pretty, just great harmony congratulations
Really beautiful, great work.
"C'mon in . . grab a toothpick" . . traditional Country flavored. Lyrically & Vocally strong, plus some nice sounding instrumentation.
Very nice sounding recording, along with strong vocals . . what's NOT to like ?
This one has the stuff. I purposely left it alone for a few days so I could come back and listen to it "*fresh*". I think it's going to be the star of the Minnesota Songwriters compilation album.

Delightful!!!
Best music to start my morning ever!!!!! This totally makes me happy!!!! Thanks
This really came to life. Nice collaboration guys. I love the blending of your voices on the chorus.
Owl and pussycat. A perfect childhood memory. Love your vocals on this. It inspires me to go play my piano and do something good with it.
Back for another listen and now I just want to dance around the kitchen to this all day. I’d fav this again if it would let me!
Love that country zeppelin swing thing here... an instant fav! What a shoe box!!!
Love the melancholy feel of this one. Great vocals...
Cool vibe on this one. And thanks for the listen on one of mine. I sure appreciate it! Looking forward to hearing more of your music
Incredible lyrics and I really loved that keyboard sound... like a xylophone mixed in there. This should be in a movie soundtrack. Love it entirely!!!
Intense!!
Love the lush feel of this with the strings and piano and the sexy timber of your vocals. Awesome lyrics as well. An instant fav.
Look what that North wind blew in!!!! Love this... awesome lyrics!!
I don't know how you do it. A deep well - your story telling skills.... Love this one!!! Who did the scary cries?????
I love your short sweet ones like this!
That says it perfectly in a nutshell!
Elvis LIVES!!!!!!!! Check your sideburns and jumpsuit at the door..... Sweet!
this one has an emotional ache to it that is really awesome....
I could listen to that over and over and over.... super cool vibe
This is a great song! The feeling reminds me of Billy Joel A bit... in a good way.
I have the same response to our fool of a leader too!
