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!

I finally got a chance to listen to this on some decent speakers.
Nice going guys! It just bounces along with great vocal, harmony, and instrumental accents.
I wrote this song earlier this week, and reached out to the wonderful Greg Connor and SL Krell here to help me with the lead, rhythm and bass guitars to give it a nice country love song feel. They killed it!!!!!! Thanks to them both for making…

I've been listening to these in the wrong order, haven't I? Love this version - only just spotted it - love the song anyway, but those slkrell licks (P90s again, Steve?) are to die for...
Nice collab guys :)

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…

Its snowing so nothing can be done on the garden so why not go down the cellar and have a ponder...and of course get Edie the acoustic out and let her join in with the pondering...Thanks for listening
We hear no evil
we listen the news…
Total inspiration for me this morning! The snow is also coming down here in MN, USA and I don’t think it’s ever going to stop this season. This song captures exactly the challenges we are all facing. Self seeking politicians seem to be everywhere these days! Great stuff!!
Lovely to work with the talented Ms Daulby again...she had asked for a version of this super Beverly Craven classic and I was happy to oblige! Thanks to 13111y for his usual excellent tweaking and mastering......
Were you guys aware that I'm a Beatles fan? Because, well.... I am.

A large portion of this record was written with my friend Wilsun in mind. If anything, this is an album to amuse him. To ensure I achieved that goal, I tried to write a song that reminded me of "Life In A Northern Town", although it actually…
I had an hour or so this evening as the wife had a friend over I disappeared down the cellar and started to think about my old man he's been gone now twenty one years and how in his old age when I used to go and see him I'd find him sitting pondering…

A very loose homage to the passing of the amazing and wonderful tunesmith/songwriter, Burt Bacharach. Created in Pure Data in an equally loose Brian Eno feel.
Song #2 for this year's RPM album....another one from the basement in the middle of the night. Experimenting with minimal lyrics and a lot of repetition. The song probably has something to do with how we left our home of many years last February…

Sighs and slow awakening

Greg this is one of my favorites of all time. Your lyrics really touched me. And that timely harmonica just brings the bittersweet feel of the song. You are amazing!
Comments on Colleen Dillon's stuff
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.
Magical additions! What wonderful synergy!
I finally got a chance to listen to this on some decent speakers. Nice going guys! It just bounces along with great vocal, harmony, and instrumental accents.
Gary or no...crazy good music.
... cool additions on this version.
I've been listening to these in the wrong order, haven't I? Love this version - only just spotted it - love the song anyway, but those slkrell licks (P90s again, Steve?) are to die for... Nice collab guys :)
Another outstanding collaboration Colleen great tune!!
Ditto to Greg's comments!
