Just listen in headphones. Very juicy. You really did a great job with this, Colleen -- the headphones prove you know how to mix it up! Good, clean, fun mastering job -- I'm impressed!
Ha Ha ...loved it.....inspired lyrics....we kind of think alike...we should put our 2 disturbed brains together....what comes out may be unpublishable though!! lol :-)
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.

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!

Your just a talking head to me
I see your lips move but I don’t hear what you say
Tomorrow is just…
But the Sun
I close the curtains
To shut out the darkness
I shut the window
To keep out the cold
But the Sun is shining
Somewhere, I know.

Hey there,
This is a song that has been in my head for a while now. I think it has an amazing content. It's originally for Violin Solo, but I made an arrangement for 2 Violas and 2 Violins. I added/changed perhaps 10 notes in total, it's crazy…
This is one of only two songs from this year's 50/90 that was started on guitar rather than bass. It's also one of three where the vocals were recorded on a day where I couldn't sing in tune to save my life. It's also one of three where the…
This is more of a description than a song. It's my contribution to the Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show monthly song writing challenge: "Write a song about your first car."
So many good stories in that brain of yours!! Love this. Especially fun to think of you driving around with Rita in that Mustang... and clean up the backseat would ya!
I was trying out the new guitar a Harley Benton 12String just like Tims (Greeny's) an its a beauty it sounds great and for just over £200 a bargin to boot. Heres a bit of blues the Harley benton and a fender strat and a wha peddle

A simple one-track mandolin tune. In fact it's the first tune I ever made on the mandolin. I think it would be better with a bodhran drum accompanying it, but I don't know how to play those!
Maybe someday this will work its way into something…

This is a true story. Im pretty sure this guy still has a taxi job on the night shift in Denver.
Too long since I’ve posted a song. Most importantly, I got Norm to dust off the skins and record some percussion for me. Good to hear Norm and…
I like this one, even though there's not a lot to it musically. Mix wise, there's tons going on. Four rhythm guitar tracks, five vocal tracks, four lead guitar tracks, and (really) two drum tracks. Oh yeah, and one lonely bass guitar.

"Technopedia, Wikipedia," "My box cutter nearly hummed," "... arrived by FedEx And a big two-wheeler was required," your poetry is excellent!

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!
