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 :)

Your mission this month is twofold:
1. Try creating a boundary between the production of content versus the judging…
for Gene's contest...great title and inspiration!!
“How To Assemble Your Android”
Yesterday a box of parts came to my front door
I thought she came assembled, ready to be my whore
Tore the box apart and to no one’s surprise I was missing…
Going back through some of the oldies and goodies and found this one! What a fun time we all had. still a classic to be sure. I hope this finds you well and enjoying life! All my best!!!
A friend got me excited about writing short instrumentals for Video, TV etc and posting them on Pond5 ( A site catering to that type of thing). I recorded this little banjo piece this morning.
Having fun with crunchy guitars and learning about making a sequenced drum part.
Guitars, bass, “drums,” “singing”: Ben Niven
Lead guitar in intro: Darren Tipper
Hi Ben! Thanks so much for listening to my music and the thoughtful and kind comments on my music. And it allowed me to discover yours! I like the dramatic sound to the guitars on this track. It should be a action movie soundtrack. Excellent lyrics too!

Crumbs, even this is 23 years old!
We used it as a set-opener in the last band I was in.
I've been trying to make…
I C see it all Em happen on the F evening C news
Am Someone G started C something G
C Running for Em cover, F crying the C blues
Am Your world is G just a C crumbling
C It was bad Em before and it’s F getting C worse
Am You think you G…
That's a mighty fine triangle indeed... love the banjo picking too. Did you stuff a rattle snake to get that shaker? You and that Marie are mighty fine indeed!
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.

Another outstanding collaboration Colleen great tune!!
Ditto to Greg's comments!
Comments made by Colleen Dillon
so awesome! Lucky you and lucky Kimmy
Hey!!!! Is this a new account for my old friend SLK???? I can't mistake that lovely voice and guitar work. Good to hear you playing here!!!
Love the chorus so much! The power of music may just do it indeed.
Sounds like a very challenging love affair indeed… the lyrics are haunting just like Ron says. The harmonica is such a great forlorn sound.
Going back through some of the oldies and goodies and found this one! What a fun time we all had. still a classic to be sure. I hope this finds you well and enjoying life! All my best!!!
I love this! Perfect music to have with my coffee on an early summer morning!
Apropos for the times we’re living in for sure! I can hear this like an anthem! Great song.
Gorgeous! I really like this
Cool vibes indeed!
Love this one Roger!!!!
Hi Ben! Thanks so much for listening to my music and the thoughtful and kind comments on my music. And it allowed me to discover yours! I like the dramatic sound to the guitars on this track. It should be a action movie soundtrack. Excellent lyrics too!
And here I thought you had a zither going there... love the screwdriver. But mostly love the idea behind this song! Yay for the positive vibes!!!
It does snow in April here in MN… you captured it perfectly. Lovely tune! I like sprinkles on the breast buns too! Happy spring
Lovely!
Absolutely lovely!
What a beautiful and happy song to start the day with. Nice collaboration guys!!
Another great song! Maybe it’s time to get the band back together!,!
No warning needed for this gem. Somehow that banjo is the perfect backdrop for this melancholy song.
Perfect song for these challenging times indeed. I really love this song!!
That's a mighty fine triangle indeed... love the banjo picking too. Did you stuff a rattle snake to get that shaker? You and that Marie are mighty fine indeed!
