This was a song I wrote last year, and haven't recorded until last night. We had a jam session at my place, so you'll hear some folks you know on this live recording.. Feels like a old time sing-a-long as I listened again this morning.

I had a wish to sing along with Greg, so he offered me a piece of his Cherry Pie to sing along with... I added a few other bits here and there as well. Thanks Greg!!! This was a fun one for me... added some piano and a teeny bit of percussion....
This is a song I wrote this week, trying to capture that strange emotion you sometimes feel during times of great milestones in your life - good things happening, changes, moving on. Joy and melancholy all at the same time. Everyone feels it…
This is one of my favorite collaborations with Paul Lennon so far. I wrote the song with king of a bluesy feel, and then found a perfect marriage for the music with one of Paul's awesome tracks. Then we tinkered on it together to make it so…

This was a write it and record it in one session song challenge that my songwriting friends and I came up with this week. Lions and Lambs was started thinking of spring, but it turned into a song about relationships... as they often do.
Greg…
I wrote this song while out hiking some awesome trails in Zion National Park... gave me some excellent inspiration. I also tried some different stuff with the mixing and using my keyboard... so trying to push a few of my envelopes...

This is my second piece for the RPM challenge... And it's a big milestone for me... the first time I ever played my own instrument along with it! It's rough, but you gotta keep trying and start somewhere, right? Greg Connor... you'll understand…

It was raining in the parking lot
We ran all the way to the door
That's when you said,
"I love you but I don't need you any more."

This song has been the biggest mess of the month. It was the second idea I had, the first that wasn't dropped. I have fought with it more than any other song I've ever recorded. The drum parts have been recorded twice. They rhythm guitars have…
BROKEN BOTTLES
Broken bottles on the shore
You're molded to the bathroom floor
Just like you were the day before
All throughout the year and more
No excuse, you're such a mess
You break your word, you're honor-less
A heartless soul…
Hi Rob!
Thanks for your kind note. I would love to collaborate on another tune. If you have some blues vibes you can help me with, I'd appreciate your thoughts on how to make Baby in a Grown-up's Body come to life. It's posted here a few tracks ago on my page. Glad to know you got internet back. Hopefully the worst of the storms are behind us!
Have a great day,
Colleen
CHECK IT OUT!! It's the very elusive and thought to be the stuff of fabled musician's lore, A "completed" song by the guy that I AM!

I'm going to keep this song EXCLUSIVELY here at Alonetone.com because this…

Hi Robby! This was so much fun to work on with you. I really love it upon hearing it again. Thanks for the opportunity to collaborate and I hope we can do it again!!
I am learning a bit more each day about how to write/compose for guitar ,, quite fun. This RPM piece is dedicated for our 16 and 1/2 year old mini red Dachshund,, Howie.. though blind and mostly deaf, and recovering from illness, he still…
This is the first time I have played in drop D
this is a Springsteen song that he borrowed the title from a Pete Seeger song..and I like the way Warren Haynes plays it live...so here is my humble attempt at it...
Hope you enjoy the trip. The bass line kept my fingers busy on this more aggressive Psychedelic Folk tune. The poem is actually three crammed into one, all about the same dream.
LAST NIGHT
With a subtle touch
I have said enough
But you…
This song is the concluding song on my RPM Challenge February album. It is a good-bye to the project.

Not a good-bye to Alonetone
or anything else.
SEE YA
It has been a lot of fun

I woke up this morning and looked out the window at all of the snow. The endless landscape of blank, frozen emptiness, and I just felt sick. I wanted nothing more than to go back to bed and sleep until May. So what did I do to combat this depression…
