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.

Colleen, I would say you succeeded with your challenge. The Uke sounds nice, and you also succeeded in expressing a complex emotional experience in a clear and touching fashion. It's definitely a gift that you have!

You are all so wonderful! Thanks for the supportive feedback. I'll keep working on making those chord changes smoother and smoother, but I sure appreciate the support!!!!

I find charm in the basic style of your recordings. I can't find a better way to phrase it...I'm doing my best to make it as big a compliment as I can.

Fellow alone toner Gary Talbott kindly volunteered to add some of his own vocals and strings to this song, so I gladly took him up on it. Fun to keep evolving this one. Thanks Gary!
First Day of the 2024 RPM challenge .... so here is Song 1
I'm experimenting with my old analogue synth (Prophet 6) this year
Thanks to anyone who listens! A gloomy song for gloomy times. Onward!
One day
You’ll find
It’s over, it’s over…
This was an RPM track back in the day, and I've been playing it various ways to find a setting for it within the band repertoire. This doesn't sound much like our band would do it but it came out nicely, so i thought i'd share it.
Sitting on a bar stool thinking about Jane
I wonder if she still remembers my name
It’s been a long time as you might guess
Last time I saw her it was quite a mess
She called me names and made it clear
She blew me a kiss in the rear view…
...and suddenly I realise it's Christmas Eve, and it's The Day Before. Years have passed and you don't expect anything special for a long time, and at least in Lower Saxony there is no snow, at all. But the magic of the childhood is still there…
“Jangle Balls” written, recorded, and mixed by W. Ng on December 16-17, 2023, for December’s 30 Day Songs challenge (30daysongs.com).
“Jangle Balls” was also submitted to December’s REM Challenge (via RPM Challenge).

This one is short and to the point. Dedicated to those with with guts to fly in the face of conformity and live their best life. I try but it's hard to detox after all these years. Recorded as part of the August 2022 RPM - Record Every Month challenge…
Been out of socket music wise. The dentist wanted to redo all my teeth. A new smile in one day my ass. Took over a year. Just now getting to where I can half-way sing and blow my harp. The song? Sorta explains itself.
If this sounds like it was recorded in a single take on a $7 USB microphone, and then cheesy audacity reverb thrown in, that's because it was.
The old guitar and its player are both on their last legs, but unpacking after a move it beckoned…
It's too bloody cold to go out today so I picked up the guitar and this came out ....Thanks for listening

Hey Mr

What a delightful and peaceful song! I can picture you enjoying a quiet morning there in your pretty spot. And love the hint of the whistle at the end! Or was that a real bird?
Reg has been reading the papers again, it always brings him down, but this time he can't carry on looking the other way and ignoring the news and the facts that the life, the freedoms he holds dear are slowly being dissolved not just by his government…

Comments on Colleen Dillon's stuff
Wonderful, everybody sounds great!!
Always a great melody, Colleen Harry
Wow, superb. An enjoyable listen!
I really like Colin's bass and supporting vocal on this song! Softening the third verse was an inspired idea. You got the magic Colleen!
That was fun! Thanks for including me. This is a wonderful song! The song and recording combined is something that you can be proud of.
wow ...the studio really suits you Colleen...another great recording..when is the CD being released? ...and Greg you will be getng rich from all the royalties from Colleen and of course "the "Dirty Thump" CD :-)
Very nice, indeed.
Ah another gentle gift from you... Sounds like one from the heart. Love your tone, girlfriend! Beautiful and tender.
..also liked the bridge. There is nothing wrong with "...rough around the edges..."
Very Nice!
Lyics and vocals ..great !!! Uke ..even better...love it Colleen...
Colleen, I would say you succeeded with your challenge. The Uke sounds nice, and you also succeeded in expressing a complex emotional experience in a clear and touching fashion. It's definitely a gift that you have!
This one's a real beauty. 'bits and drops and pieces...' really nice
You are all so wonderful! Thanks for the supportive feedback. I'll keep working on making those chord changes smoother and smoother, but I sure appreciate the support!!!!
Nice all alone tone winner. that Ukulele is sounding most excellent.
. . . . . . Damn Colleen! You are leaving us in the dust!
*OUTSTANDING* That's the best Ukulele I've ever heard. I like the symbolism of *"droplets at the edge of a river"* This might be my new favorite song!
I find charm in the basic style of your recordings. I can't find a better way to phrase it...I'm doing my best to make it as big a compliment as I can.
I especially like the bridge change. Wonderful lyrics as usual
You got the magic! Still *Kicking Ass* this morning.
