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 :)

The local songwriters were in my living room earlier this week, and we had a great night. We recorded a live version of this song I posted earlier this month, and I thought you'd enjoy hearing Colin W, Greg C and Scott Z playing and singing too!

I'm just now, this morning, listening to this with nice speakers.
This is a *GREAT* Song, and I'm so impressed with the quality of the recording from that little Tascam recorder.
The blend of vocals, bass, rhythm and lead sounds balanced to me.
It feels like we accomplished something!

I created this track after uncovering the bassline first, realising it was one of those riffs that could go on and on. I didn't get bored of it so must be ok! Then came the hard work of writing something interesting over it. The main melody came…

Comments on Colleen Dillon's stuff
. . . . . . 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!
Another excellent version! Great song, and Gary really spiced it up!
a true love song from a beautiful lady. this is a wonderful reflection from your beaming heart :) this song is a gift that we can enjoy forever. thank you
That's a fine sound. And it's cool to hear some real people playing/singing together in a room. Nice song too.
Thank you :)
Sounds awesome, as Greg said, really balanced. Just a nice, slow relaxed tune with a nice vibe.
