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 is my second piece for the RPM challenge... And it's a big milestone for me... the first time I ever played my own instrument along with it! It's rough, but you gotta keep trying and start somewhere, right? Greg Connor... you'll understand…

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.

But thank you for listening to my music. I'm not going anywhere.

OK, for the 3rd day in a row, I woke up with your voice singing this song in my head, and I carry it with me all day. If the responses to a songwriting challenge were judged by that standard -- how stuck it gets into one's head, then no contest, this one has possessed me!
Hi! I just posted a remix of this, hopefully that's OK with you? Here it is: http://alonetone.com/mecreos/tracks/change-is-calling-1
I thought is was cool, hopefully you do to.
This song is a improv guitar with some modifications in audacity.

I decided to pick a few chords at random, just like that, wrote them down and then somehow tried to make a melody with it, no idea how, but it worked :-) I then added some lyrics et voilà...here's the result. A quick "just for fun" project. I…

Sundancer and some clouds roll by

I had fun singing this at the open mic this past week.
Originally written for a song writing challenge using the phrase *"Chicken Plucking Time In Petaluma"*
I could not ignore this hypnotic circling guitar riff on my mind keeping me awake endlessly spinning above the drop "D" tuning registers of a complicated web of entangled guitars that are driving atop the very solid bass horizon the tension is…
It’s a small town. Woodlake, California. East side of the San Joaquin Valley. 14 miles from where all those “Lindsey” olives you see on your grocery store shelves come from. The Woodlake Echo, says, “In the foothills of the Sequoias”.
FOOTHILLS…
Cornwall, a place where I have never been, and probably will never be - what is it? Sun, sea, lapping waves, moonlit path at night? Public, Idly strolling down the wide sidewalk, quietly... Ringing/sparkling kids, playing?
Or perhaps this that…
One of my all time favorite songs! Love this version. Thanks for the comments and the offer add some vocals. I would love to take you up on that someday!
Just back from a lovely two week holiday in Cornwall and Gene sent me the finished version while i was away....another excellent backer by gene ...hope you enjoy our take on a Stevie wonder classic ......
Miles Away is a very simple guitar riff and lyrics that match, but it's a song that came from the heart of one of the band's members. It's kind of a tune about a newly married couple...like most Prood songs it was recorded after one or two rehearsals…
Inspired by Mark Hall of Casting Crowns, by his sensational testamony
He'll Take Me As I Am by Tom Brandow
Feeling busted, bruised and broken, sometimes barely hangin on
calling out, to my savior, keep me safe and strong
Jesus…
These are the backing tracks for the full version of the song including the choral voices but minus the main vocal and harmony vocals. The song was created on a Roland XP-50 16 track workstation.

Comments on Colleen Dillon's stuff
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.

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.......
