Ellen Silva collaborates with Portland recording artist Tasha Harmon

A new CD out called "Opening" by the band Kendalin, includes a song called "Still" which I co-wrote with one of the band's members, Tasha Harmon. Says Tasha: "A 'tiny little song on a tiny little subject' written in 45 minutes as a songwriting assignment at the Puget Sound Guitar Workshop; the best songwriting prompt Tasha’s ever gotten." Give it a listen on cd baby.com: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/kendalin.
