Pack a bag and head out west
Change of clothes and leave the rest
Northern skin needs a little sun
Sunshine can cure anyone
Slow it down to a steady pace
Forget about the human race
All I need is what’s inside
Take the rest and let it…

Reminds me of my trip a couple of years ago starting in Las Cruces and ending up in the old ghost town of Pinos Altos, not far from Silver City. If you ever get the chance, go there!

Here is my contribution to the latest song writing challenge posted in the Alonetone Forum.

Who Knew when I first met you
That all your troubles would be mine
And you’d be coming around again…
Reminds me of the drunk brought into night court:
Judge: "Well, what brings you here this time?"
Drunk: "Two -hic- p'licemen!"
Judge: "Drunk as usual, I see."
Drunk: "Yep. Both of 'em."
I was down at the station
Catch the Greyhound to Go My Way
And I heard the loudspeaker
We’ll be leaving some time today
You just Say no thank you
When I ask you to be mine
I’ll be looking for that green light
When I ask you the next…

The other day I was having problems
So I called my son
Because he always helps me when I'm in trouble...
When the mouse can't see the dongle
The cursor is erratic.
There's something in the way
Move that chair
Hmh, maybe I Google it…
Well it's been a long while (as seems to be the pattern lately) and I was inspired by Greg and Ron's new songs.... Then I saw a lovely note from the Proods saying "I must have been writing during this crazy time" - so I had to respond with something…
Well the virus has my friend and music partner in Krakow Poland sheltering in place but we are using the time to write and record..here is our latest...we tried to write in the style of Motown...check it out ... all music and production by Art…
CALIFORNIA
Capo @ 4 in C/Am
I’m (Am) going back to California
A little place in the San (E) Joaquin
(Am, stepping down A G F# F E)
Where the back pasture builds
To Sierra foothills
And Kaweah tumbles down cool and clean
I’m going back…

OWIE! in G
When I get an owie
I want to tell somebody
When I get an owie
I feel so alone
When I get an owie
I want to show somebody
When I get an owie
I run strait to mom
When I get an owie
It's better if it's bloody...
First chuckle of the day! This has to be the only song I ever heard about an “Owie”.
I wonder if your objective was to get a little attention from Harriet?
GHOST TOWN
Key C Capo @ 2 or whatever works for you...
C Em F G C
I live in a Ghost Town somewhere on the edge of space
C Em F G
Everything is dusty and everything is in it's place
Am Em F G C
All the doors hang open and when it rains…
MN Homebrew Radio show has a monthly writing contest. This month it was to use the word "wait" or "waiting" in your song. So the hook line of the chorus popped into my head at 5:30 in the morning and the rest of the song came pretty quickly…
I was just experimenting with a new arrangement for my cheap condenser mics to try to get better acoustic instrument sound. I think I got on to something I like better. Anyway, fooling around with it, and with this traditional sea shanty (and…
This song was inspired for all of us who've cycled through a relationship or two.... My dear friends Greg Connor and Mark Lofgren of the infamous MN Coffee Table helped bring it to life with Greg on Banjo and Mark on Lead Guitar. Both of them…

SKATING - Capo @ 7
Starts on A
Am F
I shouldn’t be out skating. Storm is passing thru
Dm E
Out here in the darkness where I last saw you
Standing…
Thanks for the comment James! I love your story about your Senior year.
This "Skating" song is fun to listen to. I'm on my second time thru. Definitely unique!
Here's a song that battled me for quite awhile... so I am glad to say I've gotten it recorded. Still rough from my home studio, but trying out a few additional things on my keyboard to round out the sound around the ukulele. Thanks for listening…
I see I left you a comment yesterday while I was not signed in. I was on Park Point waiting for the lift bridge to come down.
You have done it again! That’s what I was thinking. Well constructed and interesting to listen to.
Well done Colleen!

Comments made by Greg Connor
You got me laughing on your last comment and now found this treasure! It’s a good life.
Beautiful and a great reminder to keep things in perspective. Let's keep on writing!
Lovely music to accompany a peaceful message. Who is playing the piano?
Outstanding! I feel like taking a trip to Detroit.
Nice positive message, and interesting lyric and melody. Excellent!
"Where the moon on the beach pushes time out of reach" That's Poetry!
Very catchy
I love it! 26 seconds long to convey a complete thought.
A bit of a departure from your usual reflective messaging. This one is a real toe tapper.
Beautiful
First chuckle of the day! This has to be the only song I ever heard about an “Owie”. I wonder if your objective was to get a little attention from Harriet?
Beautiful with descriptive imagery. Nice song.
Heartfelt and reflective story telling accompanied by 12 string. Beautiful.
This was a lot of fun! I'll post it to the Minnesota Coffee Table site, as requested, for you.
Beautiful !!! Whatever you are doing, it sounds fantastic. Listening to your lyrics . . . . I think I'd like to meet these Cape Cod Girls.
Not bad for taking the Summer off and catching up with each other after almost 3 months.
Oh Baby! Great Lyrics, Good Singing, Nice bounce, A little Harmony, A touch of Lament & Reflection and a handsome backup band! That was fun!
Now . . . That's what I'm talking about!
