I had myself a dream last night
As I tossed and turned in bed
The window was open wide
The street noise jangled, in my head
.
I was dreaming of a better time
It was all so clear to me
Wind whistled through the pine trees…
It’s like floating down a river
When you’re not quite in control
That river’s going to take you
Only where it wants to go
So you reach out with conviction
At debris along the way
That river’s going to take you
If you give up and say…
Mode ?? Marvellous Greg , you have this fantastic knack of writing a song that you just have to listen too ... then Love ... then listen to again ... and love again ... simple isn't it ... NO ?!?!?

Cool sounds and fabulous lyrics. Over the last few days I've been sharing this very message in various forms in various places... That's probably why I like it so much... And I've come across others saying the same thing... It might not be filtering through to the media (at least not the stuff I'm seeing/hearing)... but then it's not very news-worthy! ... But if there's a bunch of us ordinary people thinking and saying this and similar... then I'm feeling quite encouraged :)
My wife Rita mentioned that she had not heard my dulcimer on any music recently, so I tuned it up and wrote First Morning Light. A little Low D Irish Whistle flavored it just a bit.

I left my home in paradise when warning signs begun
With a member of my aging family
I left behind the trees so tall they almost blocked the Sun
And a lake so big it looked just like the sea
The wind blows cold through paradise in winter…

Oh yeah. What a song. Paints all sorts of images/stories in my head. But yeah, I end up yearning for the Paradise I recall myself... Faved, accidentally unfaved, and FAVED again! (Got a bit clicky there lol)

Here's my submission for the songwriting challenge for MN Homebrew for April - playing off of theme of the Beatles hit song "Here Comes The Sun". It's also an ode to spring here in the northland of MN!!! We were in shorts this weekend. Hooray…
Since my ear found your voice
And my eye found your face
All the sights and the noise
Will never erase
The song I started singing
The song I sing today...

I wrote this about Violet.
I have a new love
Of course she doesn’t know
How can a work of art
Know when lovers come and go
And when the artist is the art!
My eyes are the eyes of the beholder
And my eyes are the eyes of the world…
…when the artist is the art…
Jackie Kelly sat next to me in 7th grade. She was great at diagramming sentences. I would catch up with her on the way to school and we would walk silently. She was buck-toothed and brash. I really liked her. I carved "JK" with a safety pin in…
I wrote the lyrics to this song a couple of weeks ago while thinking of personal reflections. I figured out the melody just in time to head down to Greg Connor's MN coffee table and get he and Mark Lofgren's great voices and guitars on it with…
Black is white
White is black
I crossed the line
I can’t go back
It all comes together
It all falls apart
I’m on the edge
From the start
I’ve gone Colour Blind
To her signs, Colour Blind
Tears on your face
A broken heart
Unkind…
I like the whistle, flute, recorder whatever it is!
A fitting comment on our society. I see these guys everyday in my rear view mirror. Nobody has any patience anymore.
It's a daily reminder that Darwin's theory of natural selection is alive and well.
Down this road
A night misspent
With ill intent
The devil came
But I’m to blame
The fire smoldered
her faith grew colder
Stabbed twice
In the heart
Her love bled
Her soul torn apart
From this day on…
Hi all,
I'm back to Alonetone after a long hiatus. I got the urge to record more of my songs. Since my son started playing guitar, I wanted to share with him my music. I just want to show him that music is a wonderful creative outlet to express…
From Me
I don’t care what they think
From DC to New York – Looking for you
The sky is bright – But my heart is blue
Down, down, down – Down I go
100 miles an hour on this broken road
LOVE ME, KISS ME – I can’t understand what you see in…
One of those songs that just popped out in about an hour or so, a few hours to record, why don't all songs do that !!!! https://youtu.be/4SflrrmXqXk for a video.
You got a keeper here! I really like this one! It has an ethereal quality. I noticed you had a video of this song. I'm on my way to view it.

Just something I've been working on for an audio production course. Very early Stan, and as far as I know the only track to feature a banjo.
It's the story of a tragic shipwreck that also says 'tis an ill wind as blow no one any good!

Refreshing! Great Verses and Chorus. Just an uplifting and hopeful message.
Beautiful and Heartfelt song!
Yes, It made me stop and think.
You have a great style, very distinctive. A complete story in less than 3 minutes.
Beautiful Song Colleen! and lots of fun .
Interesting . . . sounds like a movie theme.
Playing along at home. This song is addictive.
Great Song / Nicely presented

Beautiful . . . . All the way through to the harpsichord.
Here we go . . . . Banjo! This is a foot tapper, and a big smile maker.
This song has a contemplative quality for me. I found myself drifting along with it.
Setting the example and setting the pace. Way to go. When will we hear the next generation?
I love it!
Impressive! Beautifully constructed and presented.

Great story song! Lonesome at times and then hope, or at least a reason to live in the end.
You have always had a clean production style. This is professional. Is that the audio production course, or just natural ability?
Ahhhhhhh . . . nothing better than a little banjo.
You got my feet moving!
