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 :)

This one is dedicated to my dear friend John. Thanks for changing my life for the better....
Also a big thanks to our own Greg Connor who helped me get the chords for my own uke accompaniment, and who kindly played the beautiful guitars…
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
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!

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!
No-one To Blame - A A J Russe

Nearly forgot to post this one! (it's been a busy week at work)
I was 24 when I wrote it. What more can I say…
What's really cool about these songs written long ago is that you are still able to remember the melody... I'm always having to remember my own music. I really like this one! Wise words of a twenty something... wiser that his years!
Comments on Colleen Dillon's stuff
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.

Relaxing, pleasant, nice song!
Excellent song!
This is turning in to your anthem, C. Very cool song. Great live performances.
sounds great..you all have a good thing going on up there!!!
Excellent live version of a great song. Sounds like you have been singing this song for years!
Very nice! Wonderful group effort.
I love it! Very sweet. Is that Greg on Guitar? :)
Comments made by Colleen Dillon
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!!!!

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!!
