Here's the second song I recently decided to do with a studio recording from one I wrote and posted here a while ago as a purely vocal version. It's one of my favorites.... I hope you'll enjoy it too
Singing In The Silence
Verse 1:
Singing…
The coffee table gang helped me round out this one that I shared earlier. I love this version with Mark Lofgren and Greg Connor's wonderful talents on the backup vocals and guitars. I like how my ukulele blended in on this version.
Sometimes…
A song I wrote over the last few days. Did a one-take-wonder on the recording, so it's pretty simple. Hope you like it!
Sometimes You Don't
Verse 1
Sometimes in the early morning hours
As the sun lights up the sky
I look back and think…

A little celestial inspiration for this song.... I started it and Greg and Mark helped me finish it and then record around my kitchen table. Feel free to howl if you like it!

I wrote this one yesterday. A little something to bring hope for the future.... there's always time to begin anew.
Thanks to Greg Connor and Mark Lofgren for their wonderful guitars and vocals on this one - recorded yet again around my kitchen…

Wrote this for Matt & Aaron who own Rhombus Guys Pizza in Fargo, Grand Forks and Mentor MN where I have performed a few times. Hoped they would put it on their website, but they didn't. It's tough being a songwriter!
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.
Here's another awesome song! Love your guitar playing on the break.... I think you've been secretly laughing in the corner on some of my recent first dates. You've got this nailed!!!! Great singing too!
A Christian musician who worked with inmates at a juvenile prison told me a lot of these people had never heard a Bible story … much less of Jesus. I decided then to start doing more spiritual tunes.
P.S. I was having a totally crappy morning, in a bit of funk-o-rama. Thanks for helping me remember how fun it is to sing anything at all when you're in need of a boost! You're awesome!

I created this track after uncovering the bassline first, realising it was one of those riffs that could go on and on. I didn't get bored of it so must be ok! Then came the hard work of writing something interesting over it. The main melody came…
