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.

so awesome! Lucky you and lucky Kimmy

Hey!!!! Is this a new account for my old friend SLK???? I can't mistake that lovely voice and guitar work. Good to hear you playing here!!!

Love the chorus so much! The power of music may just do it indeed.

Sounds like a very challenging love affair indeed… the lyrics are haunting just like Ron says. The harmonica is such a great forlorn sound.

Going back through some of the oldies and goodies and found this one! What a fun time we all had. still a classic to be sure. I hope this finds you well and enjoying life! All my best!!!

I love this! Perfect music to have with my coffee on an early summer morning!

Apropos for the times we’re living in for sure! I can hear this like an anthem! Great song.

Gorgeous! I really like this

Cool vibes indeed!

Love this one Roger!!!!

Hi Ben! Thanks so much for listening to my music and the thoughtful and kind comments on my music. And it allowed me to discover yours! I like the dramatic sound to the guitars on this track. It should be a action movie soundtrack. Excellent lyrics too!

And here I thought you had a zither going there... love the screwdriver. But mostly love the idea behind this song! Yay for the positive vibes!!!

It does snow in April here in MN… you captured it perfectly. Lovely tune! I like sprinkles on the breast buns too! Happy spring

Lovely!

Absolutely lovely!

What a beautiful and happy song to start the day with. Nice collaboration guys!!

Another great song! Maybe it’s time to get the band back together!,!

No warning needed for this gem. Somehow that banjo is the perfect backdrop for this melancholy song.

Perfect song for these challenging times indeed. I really love this song!!

That's a mighty fine triangle indeed... love the banjo picking too. Did you stuff a rattle snake to get that shaker? You and that Marie are mighty fine indeed!
