This is so deeply melancholy. The arrangement is awesome. I haven't heard your mandolin and harps in awhile. They sound perfect. An instant classic and fav.

Lyrics:
Down by the riverside, autumn wind blows cold
The river just keeps rolling by with just a hint of snow
I continue standing here, where did you go
Ain’t no use to worry, some things I’ll never know
Last thing that you told me…
Something new here. Tilden Barger offered to arrange and produce this song. Tell me what you think.

This was my Sunday afternoon project . . . Greg sent me his vocal & acoustic guitar tracks. I added bass & several electric guitar tracks to end up with this. Another lovely song from Greg with some Tilden tweaks

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…
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

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.

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
Crisp clear sound...great melody!
I agree with Colleen....another outstanding tune...and I love the mandolin parts!!

I can see it very clearly. This is your Early Morning Rain...

Like this a lot.
Well done... gritty and edgy; the I like it
Groovy arrangement & timely topic. You're pretty good at this songwriting stuff . . .
Great feel and groove to this one...guitar playing is most excellent ..some of your best Greg!!
Gorgeous guitar work! And I couldn't agree more with the message. Thanks for this timely piece!
Love the Guitar and rhythm. Nice Greg.
Nice song, Greg.
Another beauty here Greg! I like those extra touches in the background. Your voice sounds great!
"...just a hint of snow." Very interesting story.
Beautiful!

I’m amazed at the quality you bring to songwriting and presentation.
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.
Beautiful song!
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.
