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…
You guys are on fire! Each of you has the thing to compliment the other.
Colleen, I was thinking of you over the weekend. Thinking about how far you have come musically since I met you last summer.
These last few songs have stopped me in my tracks. Very impressive!
This is my first upload. I mostly have a vocal here. It's a song that I'd love to get some collaboration on from the guitarists in the community. Let me know what you think?

Bullseye!
An excellent example of the power of collaboration being greater than the sum of it's parts.
I love the simplicity, and that emotional tug.
This one really caught my attention, well done guys!

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.

She threw her slip down on the bed spread
She threw her panties on the stack
Now she must take them to the cleaners
He said that he will not be back
She turned and reached into the corner
She took her guitar from the rack...
Collaboration between Carl Unbehaun and Myself.
Introducing Carl Unbehaun, the host of Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show. Pioneer Radio 90.1 Thief River Falls MN
I had the words, and Carl had the melody plus the ability to deliver the song…
This song is the result of exchanging "One Line Zingers" with my friend Tom last Saturday while playing a little music.
He challenged me to write a song about him and he would do the same at my expense.
The funiest song wins.

What a pretty melody to bring the lyrics to life. Like we are walking down the path in the song. Lovely mandolin. Is that you on all the parts? Pretty cool

This song was recorded with another verse, it ties the song together nicely but who the heck wants to listen to a 5 minute song about depressing stuff? We're really looking forward to feedback from those of you who've like…

LANCASTER STREET
Midnight in Cowtown. 90 degrees
Too hot for a blanket. Too hot for a sheet
The trash on the sidewalk is trying to sleep
Breathing the bus fumes on Lancaster Street
Sunshine brings tacos. Sunshine brings beans.
Sunshine…
Old Age is a bitch.....
As this game of truth, slowly fills up with lies
As the happy ever after gets more and more disguised
The inner truth will pull the mind closed tight
As we introduced ourselves to the end of the night
Somedays…
Pretty mandolin. This is another one of my favorites of yours. I bet there are a few in that group might even tell Eric Clapton that his chords need to be simpler...this is lovely
