this is my take on Joe Bonamassa's version of Blind Faith's "Had To Cry today"
a much shorter version...just wanted to record that cool lick and am trying to work on my vocals ... oh well ..what a time to try to learn to sing at my age...63 next…

This song written by Mark Imsdahl..I found it over at Greg Connor's ...I liked it so much that I asked Greg and Mark if I could do an electric version of it and they agreed...i want to have Mark blow some harp on it when he gets back from vacation…
This is a collaboration with Greg Connor (check his song list here) Greg wrote this about his Heritage Millennium guitar and Heritage guitars company in Kalamazoo. He sent me his vocals and rhythm guitar track and I added lead & bass guitars…
This was completely written by Andy...he wanted to enter this in a song writing contest for a Humane Society thing in England...the song had to be about a dog's poor life and death alone.....I think he did a great job all I added was the guitar…

This is the result of a songwriting challenge that Andy took part in on a songwriting forum he uses
We were all given the same lyrics and then sent away to see what came back and see how different the results would be in styles etc ,

MN Homebrew Radio show has a monthly writing contest. This month it was to use the word "wait" or "waiting" in your song. So the hook line of the chorus popped into my head at 5:30 in the morning and the rest of the song came pretty quickly…

This is my contribution to the Song Writing Challenge: Write a song about "First Date".
Written for Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show / Pioneer Radio 90.1 Thief River Falls.
Here's a song that battled me for quite awhile... so I am glad to say I've gotten it recorded. Still rough from my home studio, but trying out a few additional things on my keyboard to round out the sound around the ukulele. Thanks for listening…
Here is my contribution to the current song writiing challenge offered by Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show, 90.1 Thief River Falls, MN.

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.
When I saw the May songwriting challenge offered by Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show…
I wrote this story with the intent to let the listener decide for themselves who the common thread may be.... But for me I'll dedicate this to my dear family and long time friends. Thanks for always being there for me.
I hope you enjoy…
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…

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…

Love it intro is great, especially when Colleen says we are in Greg's recording studio!! (can I book a few hours?) outstanding song and great vocals all around, sweet harmonies!! I can't believe how good a sound you get recording live at the coffee table...no phones ringing, no dogs barking, no one yelling "turn it down"....ha ha........ I name this band LoDillCo
Here is an old song with a brand new wash and shine. Recorded today. It's a song about a fictitious girlfriend that Steve Krell created and . . . well . . . I just couldn't help but steal her away from him. In fact we both stole and lost her…
This song is really gettin a workout and makin the scene!! it's on Dirty Thump CD and most recent;y on The Sunset Dadeze Cd and i just sang it Saturday at a Benefit for a family that lost their home in a fire .......love this version very close to the demo we worked on....love the harp solo!! this song goes over very well at all our live shows...thanks for writing a a great tune Greg!!!
Written for the January Song Writing Challenge put forth by Carl Unbehaun on Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show. "Write about something new".
Inspired in part by the disruption caused by the Government Shutdown.
It's been a long time. Too many distractions and not enough time, or even focus to play lately.
Somehow this song, "Higher Ground" squeaked out from some hidden place.
Comments on Ron's stuff
Excellent........
This hits the spot. I prefer brandy meself (and vodka martini) but this makes me wonder. Love the choruses.
This is JUST PLAIN FUN . . . .
Originally attracted by the title I stopped for a very entertaining Three minutes, nice one.
..the change of pace at the bridge works well - you'll be entitled to your royalty cheque..
Love that spring reverb. Right on the money with the mid 60's rock sound. Killer.
you guys are driving me to drinking today
Outstanding . . . I'll drink to that! Good Gawd, the bridge is FANTASTIC. I like the scream and the denial at the end.
Oh yeah, love it
Yeah! Nice choice!
Love It! You are the Master!
Oh Yeah . . . I get an instant smile when I listen to this. Over the top . . . The only way to go.
*GOOD GAWD !!!* Stopped by for another listen
Good song.
crisp and sweet intro.getting old is hell
Yes, sad song, but well written. You guys did a nice job on it. I especially liked the intro.
That's really really good...... Flows right over you nicely.....
Like the tune and lyrics are fun. and musically as always very well done
Beautiful. It flows well and the music really supports the lyrics well. I have to admit . . . I was looking for at least one *"GOOD GAWD"* in there.
Funkedelic and Soulful -- masterfully composed and performed! Fabulous job! ROCK ON!
