Maybe I take that challenge. But my song would be about Patti Meadors who transferred to my school in the middle of my senior year and tho she ate lunch across the street at the elementary school cafeteria with me just a few times and then transferred away before the year was over I will never forget her and...we never had that first date.

I recently retired and for the past 4 months I've been telling people "All that's left are the stories". There will be no more of the glamor and prestige.

This is a piece in a microtonal tuning - but sounds very much like pentatonic in "normal" 12 equal tuning to my ears. But I work in microtonal tunings all the time and may be biased.
How "in tune" does this sound to you?

I usually like lyrics, but in this case (to answer your question) less is more. I like the way this hangs together on it's own.

This is a guitar idea our friend Doug worked up for one of our Christmas songs. I'm posting it in case Amy gets a chance to listen from work. Hopefully we'll record a new, full version before Christmas!

I'm guessing that they weren't talking about your positive attributes.
Well ... there is nothing better than turning criticism into music. That's some beautiful piano playing.

Great to hear you playing more electric!!! excellent solo, very melodic..... outstanding song, has a feel like Roger McGuinn and the Byrds love it

You'll be so busy you'll never understand how you had time to go to work.....excellent song
Loved the live homely feel beautifully sung colleen
Love this!!!! What great harmonies from that lovely tenor / baritone songwriter combo dude!!! And love the banjo picking too!
Ha just cut a batch of Rhrubarb here in pure Michigan. My sister took a page from the Ozark cook book and whipped up a Rhubarb compote ,mighty fine. So is this tune faved
Fun tune!! love you doing the harmony part with yourself......
Great harmonies!
Gotta love that coffee table! Love the breeziness here - fabulous, bittersweet track. Music and voices sounding ace as ever.
I'm going to be humming this all afternoon.
Bloody birds! They do it every time.
Great lyrics...funny too...this sounds like I could hear it on Sesame Street!!! mix sounds amazing
Ah, so true...at timed. :)
You are so funny! Is this street nearby in Savage? And I love the Thoreau reference. Some killer lyrics throughout. Yay!
How did I miss this one? Great song. Your voice is awesome.
Another great song. such fun. Mom
Nice vocal, Colleen.
Yay!!!! That was a great time together. I love this song so much!!!!
Oh yeah...full band recording!!.... vocals are outstanding, really nice live mix ....
Comments made by Greg Connor
Well ... I have even more appreciation for the piece now that I know what you are up to. I think it's exceptional.
I like it. It reminds me of Aaron Copland. I can see using something like this behind a video, or a mood setter in a collection of musical pieces.
Interesting story and totally unexpected, at least for me.
Great combination of sounds, especially Guitar / Organ.
I laughing out loud, nothing better than a "feel good" song. Go ... ELVIS ... GO
Nice full sound and it floats along just like a leaf on the water. The lead guitar sound is to die for.
I love the build up in this song, and the distorted lead guitar.
Interesting effect in there. I like the simple straight forward approach.
I usually like lyrics, but in this case (to answer your question) less is more. I like the way this hangs together on it's own. As I said earlier, VERY PRETTY
Reminds me of my hero Paul Simon. Great lyrics and the music is intriguing.
Pretty! I like the sound of that classical guitar.
Wow, this is beautiful

I like the way this bounces. Now that Norm has mentioned waffles, I'm getting hungry listening to this.
I certainly can relate to this one!
Very Philosophical You can learn something from everyone. I like your musical style.
I can really feel the grit in this one John! Nice song, short and sweet.
I like that: "Don't Save Your Kisses" Good advice
I think you have touched the melancholy side of things here. Very pretty.
That is some beautiful guitar playing.
