Nice! Because you're baaaaaaahd!! So many layers of the season in this one!:)

Nicely done Colleen! Pretty melody and a really resonant situation with different meaning for everyone. Traveling alone is really big idea! Thanks for sharing it.

Really like this guys

Somehow we'll have to find a way to have a virtual jam session one day. Ron and Gene can come to MN!

this may be your best yet.....I love the mandolin....Greg's guitar is awesome...all around great sound, vocals and lyrics

Great job, guys! Y'all make me want to move to Minneapolis. Is it all that snow that makes y'all such talented musicians and songwriters?

Lots of Fun !!!

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.

"now I know English is fun" is going to be humming along in my head all day!!! Thanks. This was fab!! And what a cool idea for your students.

This is really lovely. I am listening at my desk and it makes me want to run outside and play!

Thanks so much everyone for your continued kind feedback and support. Meeting you all has been such a boon for me!!!! I am excited to keep moving on and learning more!!

Sweet!!!!!!! Is that you on the harmonica as well??? This one sounds like movie soundtrack material :-)

Thanks for the nice comments today! It's a great community here. I love your version of Cherry Pie!!!

Love the lyrics... kind of haunting rhythm too!

Thanks to all for such supportive feedback! You are just the best!!!!

Just WOW! Cool!

Way to go!!! Nice way to start the challenge. I loved your vocals on this one. One more that's going to happily stick with me all day

I love the lyrics and the music / vocals are really wonderful. The line "I accept me, for me someday is now" says it all. Beautiful

I recognize that blues background. Another great song. SlKrell lost the girl!!! Funny stuff guys.

Great song! Such visual lyrics and powerful melody!

Thanks to Gene for his help! This new version sounds much better!!!!!

Hi Gene! Thanks for the offer. I sent you a separate message with my contact info. I'd appreciate it very much!

I totally love this song! It's going to be the song in my head all this week, I am sure!!!!

I just discovered this one! It's fun to page through your tunes. Always something great to find.

Sweet!

Beautiful vocals and emotive lyrics. If there is truth in the tale here, I hope you all got far away already. Thanks for sharing this and be well.

Ha!! Thanks Greg! Looks what happens when you show me how to use the mixer tools!!!

Love the guitars on this!
