Oh what groovy, appropriate music! Great lyrics. Delightful vocals. What a wonderful job, and a story told so well, so fully, so... so... futuristic? Is that the word I'm looking for? I'm blown away! Thank you, Colleen!
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…
Update: Gene offered to improve the Mix on this song! This is that improved version. Thanks so much Gene! You are awesome!!!
I wrote this song earlier this summer, and had played it a few times with Greg Connor, fellow alone toner, and…

That sensation you are feeling in your fingertips is progress.
This is a big milestone for you! I'm proud of you.
There is no going back now . . . no more putting up with some obnoxious guitar player who thinks he knows everything. Now the song will sound as you intended it.
I think those chord changes sound darn good and the ukulele turns out to be an excellent accompaniment for your voice.

Besides a great voice you write really outstanding lyrics......congratulations on starting to learn the uke...sounds nice to hear you accompanying your self...what's next guitar? mandolin? piano?...

I know I keep saying this, but... you have a sweet voice. That's a cool story. But I think the first time I heard a song written about an instrument was Stephen L. Krell singing about one of his vintage electric. Yours however was far less noisy! ;) Good job, Colleen, and that's some nice poetry!
Colleen. I assume that you know of the Tadpole Angel… I think that you should take a shot at Doc's Concerto of the Great Southland!… I'll be surprised if you don't know what I'm talking about but, if not, send me an email

*Another example where the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts*
I think this live version is better than anything we could have ever cooked up in my basement no matter how much wine we drank.
Thanks to Gene's help, this remix has a lot more definition.
Bottom line, it's better when everyone comes together to contribute.

Written and recorded as part of our family RPM project this year. :-D
13 year old Jasmine on vocals and ukulele.
We wrote and recorded 10 songs under the name Cattica. It was just the best month of lockdown imaginable.
So, thought it was time to try something a tad more substantial - hence embarked on a Piano Concerto....here is the first movement of my first, in C minor.......
My second for the 2021 RPM is about a sayong Ning Surasiang one of the Brides on Bride at first sight came up with The feels which is to describe the feeling just before falling in love . Thanks for listening
When I first met you you did…
I've put out a call for lyrics for me to add music / turn into a song. My college buddy Myron responded and this is the demo I recorded using my phone.
I'm working on a full production (backing tracks recorded, still need to record guitar solo…
I wrote this one morning but gave up tryin to sing it . then I asked my buddy Steve Schostal to do vocals . His Canadian accent was perfect for this . Notice how he leads the beat ‘wow perfect.
I love Colabs
This is my contribution to the Song Writing Challenge: Write a song about "First Date".
Written for Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show / Pioneer Radio 90.1 Thief River Falls.
A new song.
I did this one on my own
Due to the corona curfew here we can't play with the band
A song about collecting, and the piling of stuff that can become a burden
--------------------------------------
I have been gathering so much…
This song was inspired by a long walk....
Lyrics:
Down by the river, down by the shore we go
The moon above cast a beautiful glow
We walked around talking through the night
I can’t help but think how it felt right
Hey Constance, don’t you feel…

Great job! Who's up for the Android challenge next?
What goes on in that mind of yours? Suspicious from now on and laughing out loud.
Oh what groovy, appropriate music! Great lyrics. Delightful vocals. What a wonderful job, and a story told so well, so fully, so... so... futuristic? Is that the word I'm looking for? I'm blown away! Thank you, Colleen!
Very creative :)

Love the theme of this one indeed! Your voice sounds great!
Wow Jasmine! I absolutely loved this. And from one uke player to another, you play beautifully. Your vocals are simply gorgeous. Instant fav!!
Like a storm coming in.....really powerful and beautiful
Ditto!
This is awesome! Great story indeed. And thanks door the kind words on my music as well.
This one is perfect for where I live... where walking the lake is a frozen under foot experience
Pretty timely tune this one!!! Are you playing a bit of piano there???? Sounds mighty good.... I'm praying for all those manatees too!!!
Nice one!! It gives good feels right back...
Great lyrics Tilden!!! It sounds great on this first recording.
This is really pretty mellow groove.... the very ending has your voice I think... and it sounds very good too!
Great lyrics! Love this.... would be a good song for the bar at a legal convention!!
I came back for that extra listen... you're right! This is just beautiful and Steve's vocal is perfect. If I could re-fav / double fav I would...
love that beauty vibe with your guitar. Great visuals in these lyrics... a perfect antidote to a freezing cold day in MN!
Cool vibes here indeed....
Saw this pop up in the archives!!! Such great songwriting. Fun to revisit the hits!!!
Really love this song! Your vocals are so rich!!! Reminds me of U2 / Bono
really beautiful! I wish I could play so well.... A melody I could have in my ear all day indeed...
Sounds like a great song to bring about some declutter motivation!!!! Love your mellow vocal vibes on this!!
Wow! This one is a raw powerful anthem... well done sir!
Just found this.... beautiful emotion in every note
