Great stuff. And that's a truly fabulous vocal sound you've captured there - the intro was rolling along nicely and then, when the vocal came in, I just went "YESSS"

Once again, Greg Connor has kindly added his wonderful harmonica and Dobro to this song. Thanks so much, Greg! Mean Streak Blues is a song about how wrongly we could deal with frustration....enjoy listening

A BIG, BIG thank you to Wildgeas who took my simple acoustic guitar song and turned it into a beautiful work of art. Arrangements and Production done magnificently by Paul Lennon (Wildgeas). Also, special thank you to Bethan who put her sweet…
Here is my entry for the "Who Knew" Song Writing Challenge. Thanks for including me :)
Lyrics:
When I was a young boy
I never knew what it meant
to be unloved
When I was a young man
I never knew what it meant
to be undone
Now I’m…
A simple song in Open D.
It's a cold, and frosty night,
Stars are shining,
Shining bright.
A wintry breeze, through the trees,
Stoke the fire,
Beat the freeze,
It's a winter's tale.
Mull the wine, and cook the fare,
The larder…
The coffee table was influenced a bit by a good bottle of wine and some excellent Minnesota beer a couple of nights ago. And the result was this masterpiece!!
Upper Middle Class Dumbass Blues
I woke up this morning
Both my girlfriends…
Wow! That was a great bottle of wine!
We really took a walk on the wild side with this one but it was a lot of fun to just get together and laugh for 3 hours!
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…
Here's a new one that I did
All instruments and vocals by me
------------------------------------------
When I was young I dreamed of big things
I was flying so high on eternity's wings
Refr: Live every moment as if it were your last…
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…
Ah . . . . the single life. I think I would be in big trouble if that happened to me. You have some great descriptions all through the song. Wonderful!
Written by Colleen Dillon, Mark Lofgren & Greg Connor around the Minnesota Coffee Table in less than 3 hours.

Chorus
Cleave me from my foibles
My heart is torn in two
I can’t go forward
And I can’t…
I found this Tangelwood guitar locally in a repair barn
its a parlor with 12 frets to the body
the top wood is cedar, this guitar can sing
I am sharing its beauty with you for free
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…
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!
Blood Wolf Moon
VERSE 1
Blood wolf moon this January…
Is this autobiographical? I feel like I hardly know you 😆
Oh, I just got to the lead break. ..... very nice.
Another foot tapper. You just keep cranking them out. By the way, I used to live and drive Hwy 23 every day for years.
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
<3 !!! GREAT JOB !!! <3
A most tastefully executed bass guitar, a ever so sweet melody, and gently gorgeous lyrics. Awesome job. You sure got your art together.
wow wow wow, sign me up,,im there,, fine fine,,great sound!!! r
Nice blues, especially the harmonica!
Is that you or Mark on 'monica , who ever Brill......
You got some great friends Greg, in my mind, what great band we could be. If you accept me ........ Love guys
Oh this is the stuff. Damn fine... I know someone who occasionally "collects" poppy seeds for planting in her own garden, can you get 3 to 5 for that?
Great stuff. And that's a truly fabulous vocal sound you've captured there - the intro was rolling along nicely and then, when the vocal came in, I just went "YESSS"
Fun song. Great collection of sounds. Smooth, righteous mixing. Great job!
The man on harmonica sounds like he's been at it hard for 3 to 5! Had to come by for a second helping. Great song -- Rock on!
Nice collab, :)
Git down, git dirty. I think you've found a huge source for song ideas.
Oh yeah,
Good one.
Currently Kicking Ass and rightly So!
Gime some of the mud lovin' louella.
Dirt wampin and lovin!
You need to stop selling sausage and start writing children's books....although the last time I rolled in the mud with a Texas girl ..well you couldn't put in a kids book!!!lol great playin and singin!
GEM here -- another fabulous Connor tale! Especially loved the harmonica work out. Some sweat guitar work to. <3 Lobe ya! <3
Listened on the way into work this morn. Nice way to start the day. Another gem.

Walking down memory lane this morning and found this. Big smile here! Great song Nick.
Outstanding!
This brought back memories
I love that Drop D and harmonics.
I love that twelve string sound. This song reminds me of cuddling up and watching the winter weather out the window. Beautiful.
Wow! That was a great bottle of wine! We really took a walk on the wild side with this one but it was a lot of fun to just get together and laugh for 3 hours!
I stopped by for another listen. Beautiful writing on your part. I like the blend of ukulele and two guitars too.
Listening to “My New Shorts” album. Good stuff my friend.
Good advice! It seems we are both in a reflective mood lately. A solid song, great lyrics, excellent instrumentation and delivery.
That chorus really struck me. Beautiful all the way through. The third verse, in particular, brings out the optimistic view. It’s never too late .
Ah . . . . the single life. I think I would be in big trouble if that happened to me. You have some great descriptions all through the song. Wonderful!
I'm laughing again this morning! What kind of warped minds would come up with this?
Lovely, and like you said “this guitar can sing”. It’s always fun to find a prize!
A beautiful song Colleen! Thanks for letting us play on it.
“Rain is Falling” let’s hope the Sun will peak out soon.
I love it! Not bad for a live mix, recorded on a handheld recorder!
Second listen, lovely.

Beautiful song, great imagery. The view from your window is a LOT better than mine.
I love that 12 String. Excellent song.
