Lyrics:
Old Country Songs
Wooden Chair by the window
Gibson on my lap
And the time I spend strumming
Is never coming back
The sun is shining on me
Evening won’t be long
I’m living in the city
Singing…
I dont Know Why your songs always hit me right in the heart. I cant tell why,but this is what Originals are all about! No body can do a sraight tune like you can . My Hero
Five Stars my friend.......slkrell
Lyrics:
Crazy people, wander round all night
Looking toward the Heavens
At little specs of light
Dragging round their telescopes
And Binoculars
All the tools they need to gaze among the stars
Crazy people, look at what they do…
Lyrics:
Crazy people, wander round all night

At little specs of light
Dragging round their telescopes

This is OUTSTANDING!!! Anyone can write a poignant song that'll make people cry, but it takes real skill to write a poignant song that'll make people laugh.
So well written... This truly is brilliant.

Hi Greg, a lady never tells! But as you asked so nicely, yes I had a lovely New Year with my little granddaughters, drank a bottle of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and shared a room with a 5 year old!
My son presented me with a new grandson! Yes, I had great new year! No, no hangover! :)Yet!!
Happy New Year to you and Rita

Winter Solstice

When the G days are short, and the C evening’s so D long
And the C wind is D shaking the G trees
When the cold snow crunches C beneath your D feet
And your C cheeks are D…
Here's the second song I recently decided to do with a studio recording from one I wrote and posted here a while ago as a purely vocal version. It's one of my favorites.... I hope you'll enjoy it too
Singing In The Silence
Verse 1:
Singing…
Well here's my contribution to the Pirate challenge from Robert Palomo. I think you'll agree it was time to call it a night on this one, but it was a lot of fun writing and recording it! Hope it gives you a chuckle or two.
Why Do Parrots…
Arrrrrr . ....... I started me morning out right for a change! A great listen and a darn good chuckle.
That damn parot in the background was good entertainment and the perfect balance to you lilting song.
I KEEP MY RADIO ON
I keep my radio on
From sunset to dawn
Keeps the spooks at bay
Scares them all away
I keep my radio on
I guess some folks got no problems
Some folks got no regrets
Don’t know how they do it
I’m not there yet…
You always have the most refreshing and honest songs!
I once had someone call me selling a security system. I told them "I don't need it." They will only come in here once.
Geas sent me this tune for National talk like a pirate a day so we took it down the cellar and luckily Robert Newton was down there so we got him up on the stage and got him to do this little number......Hoping Yee enjoy eye arrh…
I decided to pick a few chords at random, just like that, wrote them down and then somehow tried to make a melody with it, no idea how, but it worked :-) I then added some lyrics et voilà...here's the result. A quick "just for fun" project. I…
I wrote this song about 2 years ago and shared it here on Alonetone back then. I decided to do a studio recording of it recently. With the help of the team at F5 Soundhouse here in Minneapolis we've created this updated version. I hope you enjoy…
Ken sent me over this AC/DC kinda backer and asked if i was interested in doing something with it and i sure was ....Heres' what we came up with Thanks Ken for letting me warble on this.....SHE SER MY BLOOD ON FIRE
six foot one with those dark…
Miles Away is a very simple guitar riff and lyrics that match, but it's a song that came from the heart of one of the band's members. It's kind of a tune about a newly married couple...like most Prood songs it was recorded after one or two rehearsals…
Reminds my of those days when my hair went all the way over the top.
Have you ever thought of teaming up with Colleen for a song or two? I think you could really compliment each other.
I decided to keep working on this one a bit on the "keep messing with it" program.... added some backing vocals and some piano.... kind of like where its heading after the one take wonder before... Any other suggestions are very welcome…
or A.K.A. the Caribou Lake song...
I wrote this one for my Dad, who while up at our family cabin in the north woods of MN said there's not enough music about the woods...
My first "one take wonder" - just me and my little Uke - roughing…

Another one of my musical creations, the first one after my open heart surgery, I finally am getting more strength to sing again :-) So I decided it was high time to have a go in writing a little french number. I hope you enjoy it. Kind regards, Anna
I recently got back in touch with an old friend/guitarist who had moved across the country nearly 20 yrs ago. We discussed maybe doing a collab so I whipped up this original instrumental track and he laid down the lead melody guitar part.
Hope…

What simple, most effective lyrics. Cool song, groovy music.
Sweet blues!
The minimalist arrangement gives each instrument space without overpowering the vocals. This is your best offering yet

I figured out what it is that you like about her.! It's your arms
Very pretty. Great mix.
Beautiful . I'd like to hear it mixed with the voice as clear as the guitar.

It's hard to pick a favorite, but this just might be it. Well done Colleen!
Foot Tapping Good.

Now . . . This puts me in the mood !!! Nice contribution to the challenge.
Excellent . . . especially for a "just for fun" project.
My feet started tapping immediately!
Beautiful song and professional presentation!
This gets the blood pumping!
I love the banter! You guys sound like you know how to have fun!
Reminds my of those days when my hair went all the way over the top. Have you ever thought of teaming up with Colleen for a song or two? I think you could really compliment each other.
This hits the spot! Well done!
Ooooooooooooh !!! I like those harmonies! That piano is a perfect touch. It's another winner Colleen. Nice going.
Ron is right, your voice is getting stronger each time.
A refreshing bit of joy! I'll bet your Dad enjoyed this.
Great song! Lots of energy. I don't speak French, so I can only imagine what the whispering is about ... And I have a vivid imagination!
Very pleasing to listen to. It lends itself well to lyrics too.

A little taste of the Caribbean, at least to my ear. Nice!
Nice performance
