Great song for a great instrument!

Groovy.

Colleen, thank you for your kind words. I count you as a part of what I like to think of as the Easy Folk gang, along with Greg Connor, Mark Imsdahl, Steve Krell, Terry Brown, Roger Harris, Ron Rouch, Big Time Operator, Paul Lennon, James Michael Taylor, and several other good people on AloneTone who have found their way into my heart and mind. AloneTone is huge, with literally HUNDREDS of member musicians. But if you go to the site's home page, click on "Artists" and then "dedicated listeners," you'll find me in 1st place. My other three profiles on AT are also on that first page. Add them all together and you will note that I take AT seriously, and I've come to know who out of the hundreds are particularly special artists to follow, not just for their talent but for their heart. There are some on AT who are mind-blowing musical geniuses, but who will never thank you for a comment and never play your music. Then there are those who may not be particularly awesome, but they'll play every song you post. As you may have heard, I'm not suppose to be in this world much longer -- I've already lived beyond my doctor's prediction -- and with what extra days I'm blessed I've been dedicating to AT as a listener. And when I go, all I have to leave the world is my music. I want people to play my music when I'm gone, as a way of keeping me alive. And I can't want that without lending my own ear to others while I'm here. But there's a lot of music on AT and only so many hours a day to play any of it. But I know who on AT appreciates the listen, and who doesn't care if I listen or what I think or even if I exist. So I dedicate my time and ear to those who do care. People like you. And when I find AT people who care, people like you, in my mind I add them to my Easy Folk gang. Welcome to the gang. It's a blast having you in the mix.

I liked what Big Time Operator did with your vocal track. Great voice indeed.

Delightful!

Lovely lyric. Really sets the scene. "Lost in this canyon Sun upon my face" The expression of hope and longing...

The harp is a very nice touch.

Thank you for everything :) that was the first collaboration i have had since being on alonetone! I'm just like a kid I guess, I was wondering if you have any songs that I could help you with the instrumentals to? I do alot of styles well thag I haven't posted yet, Songwriter styles and acoustic guitar with piano. just wanted to stop by and say thank you again and GREAT JOB :D looking forward...

This is very cool. I dig it.

Love the guitar and mandolin jam and vocal ensemble! NIce!

Some great beats here that go well with your lovely vocals.

At least 3 of my favorite musicians are hanging in or about Minneapolis, namely, Greg, Mark, and Colleen. Must be all the snow and moose sightings that keep y'all so artistically inspired.

This one is a Classic! I think you need to bring it to the next SongWriters Circle.

Nice, good job on adding a few more elements to the mix. They keyboard is cool! Bongos make EVERYTHING better.......

Colleen, That goodbye song is just the final song on my new album I did for the RPM Challenge...an online thing where people try to do a whole album between the beginning and end of February. http://www.rpmchallenge.com/ But thank you for listening to my music. I'm not going anywhere. j mt

Another winner.. like the others, I like the lyrics. Very nice.

Oh, I hear Penelope in there! Or is it? Now I'm not sure. Very Pretty

Another outstanding song...love the lyrics.. Have I mentioned that you remind me of Joni Mitchell ...well you do!!!

It actually reminds me of some of what I experienced when I got to visit the Serengeti! Cool music, lyrics, and vocals.

You're so right Greg!!!!! I'm glad you reminded me of this one. A perfect sentiment indeed

sounds fab!!!

Okay... I totally LOVE this song!!!! What fun to write from those prompts and come up with this happy masterpiece.

Love that minor key vibe!

So nice..... feels like a bit of the Beatles in there

Simply lovely!

Lala sounds awesome! Really like the feel of this one... your lyrics mesmerizing

The harmonies on this are so awesome!

OMG!!! Stinky / slinky good stuff here.... Hilarious!!

Hi Paul! Thanks for the listens and the kind comments. I am definitely influence by the female folks singers like Joni Mitchell, Allison Krause, Linda Rondstadt... I’m just listening now to this beautiful piece... your piano brings such a lovely uplift to this... like if they got away from the spooks they’re going to be alright now... happy Halloween 🎃

Back for a second listen..... and about my earlier question that you gave me options for: I think it was RITA!!!!

I'm so glad you put this playlist together! What a great story.... Love that last line! Hilarious...

Wow!!!! Beautiful.... sweeping full of life.... You're amazingly talented.

Powerful and uplifting throughout... Love this!

Hugs from across the pond as I listen to this raw song... Thanks for putting it out there!!!

Singing sounds great!!!! The guitars are awesome too. Fingers might have bled a bit on that solo I'm guessing...

The perfect lyrics to capture my feelings about the coming winter here in Minnesota too... the 6" of snow we got last week made it all the more real! great song!!!

This one's a keeper!

I like that cool vibe you've got going here!!

Those must be some pretty crazy donut holes!!!! I wonder if the blueberry pancakes I just ate will have the same effect!?
