Steve developed this beautiful track with his ukulele and I added some lyrics to make a "positive message" song for the times we are in.... Hope it makes you smile too...

Hi there from across the pond! Thank you so much for your kind words about a couple of my tracks....really appreciated. Been listening to few of your recent compositions....love the voice and sentiments - are you influenced by artistes such as Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell etc?

Oh yeah, a lovely song and perfectly performed. Nothing overdone, no smoke and mirrors just a lovely vocal and accompanied plaintively. Nice lyrics too. BTW, I love that expression "swung for the fences"
Well... I have a feeling that many of us may wish for a 2020 do-over. So here's a simple song to make that wish for us all!
Oh Mulligan
I wake up every morning
My jaw is clenched so tight
Even in my dreams it’s a battle
Who’s wrong and…

Excuse the weird title. After completion of the track i had a really weird dream and this is my interpretation of it.
Min 4:00 and on is a calming landing into peacefulness and mindfulness.
As the title suggests mixing 4 spontaneous played violin parts with sample CNN newsreel and the poem Egrets by Mary Oliver www.poetseers.org/contemporary-poets/mary-oliver/mary-oliver-poems/egrets/

This song has been sat on the marvellous mechanical mouse organ in the broom-cupboard for well over a year.
A few weeks ago I got a bit of a scare - the mouse organ nearly broke down (in the middle of sorting out Delta Dawn). While I was fixing…
This is one of the many songs going round my head from when I was young. No idea whose version I heard and used to sing along to back then, but it was written by Larry Collins and Alex Harvey.
(EDIT: Done some research. It was Dottie West's…
I was flapping around working on something else with just vocal and guitar the other day. It wasn't going well, so I just started slapping the guitar and singing one of my favourite songs.
What I didn't realise was that I was recording it…
Such a slinky cool vibe... And Embers!!!! Are there any of them left anymore? What a story.... did they share a plate of pancakes? Or was it a flame burger? Did he drive off on his Harley? Or was it a Ford Escort?
Antoinette plays keys, Anonymous plays drums, Evan is guitar left, Chris is guitar right (sorry I was a jerk and too loud) - This dates from 1977 when I was a classical major and Antoinette a piano major. Even though this improvisation was from…
Finally, at last... I've got something finished...
Been working on this for a few weeks.
A bit of a rocker... (and an aging lecherous one at that)
I got it as close as I could and then mixed it loud... I've over-cooked it slightly - but…
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
I was messing about and this came out. Thanks for listening
GET DOWN ON MY KNEES
I get down on my knees and I pray for a day
Where we can all go outside to run and play
Take my hand and tell what you see
can you see a future, for likes…
With a little help from Arthur & Elvis i had a bit of fun in the cellar and Regged up an old classic. Thanks for listening
My baby left me

Awww. That's fabulous. I had to look up a "Mulligan", never come across it before. What gorgeous song and performance. I love the magic bottle line.

A beautifully performed well written Song bravo
That's really beautiful Colleen! A nice artistic way of saying what we all feel. Thank You!

Yup!!! Just as Steve said.... absolutely beautiful!!!
Zoiks!!!! That's a cool batch of energy indeed...
Cool vibes... makes me want a nice long massage!!!
A cool breeze....
I bet that’s Mr. Connor on harmonica and Mr. Krell on lead.... nice singing Mr. Harris!!!
Beautiful!!!! Truly... I love the hopeful change at about 1:20. Very uplifting
Another masterpiece! Love the rhythm of this and your voice is awesome!
Lovely!!!
Somehow this is a perfect representation of how "noisy" our daily lives are, and how the cacophony seems almost normal.... Cool stuff here
Perfect!!
This is another of my all time favorites. You guys totally nailed it!!!! That's some magical broom closet...
One of my all time favorite songs.... I love to sing this one too!!!
Such a slinky cool vibe... And Embers!!!! Are there any of them left anymore? What a story.... did they share a plate of pancakes? Or was it a flame burger? Did he drive off on his Harley? Or was it a Ford Escort?
Wow!!! It totally does fit the narrative of Lafayette Square...
Ha Ha!!!! Truth be told, I could definitely be in better shape, so there were a few moments where I had to "catch my breath" indeed....
How fun is it for me to hear some of these earlier tracks!!! This is the best way to start a Friday I know....
Kim my is one lucky gal!
This is one beautiful song!!! You always tell such a wonderful story. Great vocals too! Enjoy the "out of doors!"
Your lyrics have captured it exactly!!!! What a crazy time we are in. Thanks for this one!
Oh that's the ticket indeed!!!!!
