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.

I borrowed a Ukelele a couple of days ago, and yesterday - having a day free (and after working out where to put my fingers), I came up with this rather rough and ready little song.
Ukelele Of Truth
Must we pretend we'll still be friends…
This is a song by our guitarist Keith. He doesn't get a chance to jam with us as much since he moved to New York. He and I had a lot of fun working on this simple tune, and it makes me miss times long gone.
The 1916 Rebellion was a sad time in Irish history. The public outcry after the execution of the leaders of the rebellion led to the War of Independence resulting in the creation of the Irish Free state in 1922. While Independence was achieved…
Deserts of the Higher Plane
Searches end, I had to admit
Mirages were never towns
Till I finally quit with my damages aloft
Holding what I can’t, what I can’t allow
Desserts of the Higher Plane roll along
Desserts of the higher plane…

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.
