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.

Simply gorgeous....

That'll make us get our jig on! Good jam!

Excellent Pirate Fare!!!!!

Okay this is killer!!!! I was also expecting a spoofer song for your Pirate submission, you surprise us all with this amazing tale... Beautiful and a bit scary (especially the teeth in the cup!) Talk about swinging for the fences. LOVE IT!!!!!!

Another instant classic. Love the sound of the Gibson backing your beautiful vocals. This one is sure a keeper

Sorry I missed this one earlier in the month. It's a real beauty. Love the flowy feel to this. Feel like I'm sitting on the back of a car, listening while the ocean is off in the distance...

Just listened for the first time. Delicious and moody... Will be back to listen to more. Good tune.

Love the melody and harmonies on this one! Good toe tapping this morning

Wow.... Melancholy wonderful and then skippingly hopeful. Love this.

Reminds me of music that lightening bugs would dance to. Cool vibes

Love your voice. What a great story.

Cool style on this one Johnny! Love it!

Really cool vocals! Like this one!

Up near the Temprance right now... Came back for another listen to this lovely song

This one is a catchy...make me want to dance tune!

You have such a rich voice. Lovely

Digging the combined feel of the instrumentation with the sound of the waves. Soothing and hypnotic especially when the seagulls make their entrance

Cool vibe on this one! Feels retro

Oh wow! I just listened and remember you playing this last time around the coffee table. This is one of my all time favorites of yours!

This one is really great. Love the visuals.... Feel the desert heat
