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

Oh this is nicey nice. Love yur vox.

Lovely voice

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

Great voice, great song with outstanding lyrics Love it Colleen!!

Beautiful song Colleen! Great way to start the challenge.

You have a sweet voice.

I can relate.

*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.

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!

Am I the only one who thinks this recording needs to be cranked up to between -10 and -15 dbs? I have the tools to boost this and at the same time eliminate any hiss/floor noise that might get boosted as well, if y'all are interested. Just say, "go for it" and tell me where to send the edited file.

Greta tune Colleen...I love the lyrics, you guys sound really good together...wish I could have been there to jam....

You two are on a roll. Very nice-- to all in your group… always love mandolins.

Outstanding . . . I can hear Melissa and the rest of us harmonizing. Colin's bass is keeping us together and Scott's mandolin just brings it over the top. Great song and lots of fun!

Can't wait to hear your live version of this!

Does it for me....

My wife would love this.

Simply gorgeous....

That'll make us get our jig on! Good jam!

Excellent Pirate Fare!!!!!

Okay this is killer!!!! I was also expecting a spoofer song for your Pirate submission, you surprise us all with this amazing tale... Beautiful and a bit scary (especially the teeth in the cup!) Talk about swinging for the fences. LOVE IT!!!!!!

Another instant classic. Love the sound of the Gibson backing your beautiful vocals. This one is sure a keeper

Sorry I missed this one earlier in the month. It's a real beauty. Love the flowy feel to this. Feel like I'm sitting on the back of a car, listening while the ocean is off in the distance...

Just listened for the first time. Delicious and moody... Will be back to listen to more. Good tune.

Love the melody and harmonies on this one! Good toe tapping this morning

Wow.... Melancholy wonderful and then skippingly hopeful. Love this.

Reminds me of music that lightening bugs would dance to. Cool vibes

Love your voice. What a great story.

Cool style on this one Johnny! Love it!

Really cool vocals! Like this one!

Up near the Temprance right now... Came back for another listen to this lovely song

This one is a catchy...make me want to dance tune!

You have such a rich voice. Lovely

Digging the combined feel of the instrumentation with the sound of the waves. Soothing and hypnotic especially when the seagulls make their entrance

Cool vibe on this one! Feels retro

Oh wow! I just listened and remember you playing this last time around the coffee table. This is one of my all time favorites of yours!

This one is really great. Love the visuals.... Feel the desert heat
