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.

Wow! This is a great song. Such poignant lyrics and a message that couldn't ring truer. Merry Christmas and thank you!!!

Yay! So glad you posted this one. Beautiful!

I remember this one! These lyrics are amazing. Glad to see you post it

Wow! This is killer good. I like this gal. Big Celine one quietly ominous mama!! Great song!

Thanks for the kind words Greg and the Proods! Fun to try something a little out of my normal mode of writing.

This is a great addition to the challenge. Lots of really cool things going on in this song. Love the bridge / chorus!!! Great vocals.

Came back for a second helping!!!

I love your vocal harmonies. These are great lyrics!! (I always wanted to be Madonna too! Desperately Seeking Susan hooked me for good). Great song you wonderful Proods!!! A total instant fav!

Wonderful story telling. Another great song! Thanks for posting this one even if it battled you!!

Oh Yeah!!!!!!!! I remember this one! That was a lot of fun. Great song John!

Raw and powerful! This speaks volumes in its simplicity... Sending healing thoughts and strength as this evokes someone battling an illness...

great way to start the morning! Get the FUNK OUT!!!

Now that's telling it like it is!!! Love this. Awesome!!

Hauntingly beautiful and sad. Evocative lyrics. Really pulls you in. Love the piano

Feeling some Elvis here! Nice!!!

This song just totally moved me. WOW!

Enjoying a dip into a playlist by you! Your music is just awesome! Thanks for my Sunday afternoon soundtrack.

This is awesome! I love the guitar riff. Perfect backdrop for your strong lyrics and heartfelt vocals. Another amazing addition to Who Knew!!

love the lyrics of this song! Really cool way your beautiful voice winds in and out. Great one!

This is really a cool song... some essence of Bowie coming to me. Your vocals are really haunting. In times where we're listening and giving accolades in this digital media, know that your music brings us all together! Although I will admit to a fantasy of bringing all us alone toners together live for the funnest jam session ever! Thanks for this great song!!! An instant fav
