Dusted off (so to speak) a bluegrass style oldie (meaning I wrote years and years ago) about the ending of a long drought... dedicated to all my friends, known and unknown, in Colorado and other dry spots that are burnin' up right now.

A NON Banjo-centric song that pokes a bit of fun at the zaniness of the 1980s.
This is the G-rated version. There is a PG-13 version with one additional verse which contains some unvarnished language. You can get that version on my site…
Cracking good song , fun and yet when you read the last verse poignant and true.....how did they crowbar the banjo out your hands ....oh with a crowbar....'kay...
Cheers

This is an old 19h century sea shanty (or chanty) arranged around clawhammer-style banjo, with a bit of Irish whistle, faux bodhrán, and a goofy pseudo-accent to Irish it up a little. Just in time for St. Paddy's Day.

My arrangement of an American traditional tune with tons of variations on title, lyrics and tune. I went for a little delta feel with some light slide on the guitar, and harmonica along with the banjo... definitely strange but I think it works.

Oh it caught me by surprise
I Looked into your pretty eyes
Nothing more than a simple kiss
And a moment like this
We don’t need no fancy cars
Diamond Rings that shine like stars
You never really asked for more
Than moments…
I've been teasing Steve (SLKrell) about Rose, from Las Cruces Nevada, ever since he wrote a song about her for Valentines Day a few years ago.
Rosie is a figment of our imagination. I wrote a song about stealing her away from Steve:

Tales shared from long ago

(Em) It comes to you from far way
Whispered roars that fade away

Only (C) heard…
Reminiscent of Neil Young and certainly as good a song as just about any of his. Never did like his voice though. Yours works well with this tune and instrumentation.
Lyrics:
After the Sun goes down
Lay in bed no sleep to be found
And the shadows dance on walls
After the Sun goes down
Just a reflecting time
The clock just seems to unwind
The silence gets so loud
Just a reflecting time

That's some wonderful playing!
Cracking good song , fun and yet when you read the last verse poignant and true.....how did they crowbar the banjo out your hands ....oh with a crowbar....'kay... Cheers Jarvo
Good entertainment this morning! Well played my friend, and the lyrics are hilarious. I like your trailer too.
Here's a rip snorter.!
I remember your song but I think this is smoother, the rough edges removed. I would say it's a lot better now. I do like your Irish accent too.
Nicely done
@GregConnor - been re-recorded from scratch & 'tis needed remix. Will miss St. Paddy's this year :-(
A lot of fun. Great vocals and very pretty whistle.
Love this ...first heard this song or a versionj of it back in '76 on SteelEye Span's Commoners Crowm album....the late great Peter Sellers did a spot with them and supplied a ukulele part...this different but the same ....superb......
Ahhhhhh . . . St Patrick's Day. My favorite religious holiday. Where is that song you wrote a few years ago?
Greqateroony...this is one of the songs on an old album I had called This is Bluegrass back inthe seventies....one of my favourites and this is an excellent version....those Russians obviously have great taste and appreciation.
Now . . . my feet are tapping! Nice Picking Robert!

Good one harp puts the stuff in it.
Real blue grass.cool.

I will love this song as long as love don't end!
Tight "band", simple, straight-ahead tune, from-the-heart lyrics. Yep. I like it.
B.B. Connor!
Reminds me of Neil Young. But I'd rather listen to your voice than his. Never was a big fan of his that way.
Do we have... I THINK we do have... a Rose of Las Cruces TRILOGY!! Greg you never shoulda trusted a woman who'd pick up a banjo player in a drive-thru!
Reminiscent of Neil Young and certainly as good a song as just about any of his. Never did like his voice though. Yours works well with this tune and instrumentation.
It's GREAT as is. But if I had a pedal steel and knew how to make it cry...

Yum yum. Tasty!
Smile smile smile
I'm an acoustic maniac. But I love this. Very very tasty. And seriously good lyrics for our times. A keeper for sure.
That was very nice to listen to whilst sitting watching it snow and wondering why. :-)

Ah Connor me boyo, faith and 'tis smilin' I am!
Going very nicely with dessert.

Another crazy S.O.B. takes his hat off and goes, "Pilgrim, that sez it right there, yessiree." As fine a tribute to a friend as I've seen.
You know you're listening to a good song when you find yourself going "wow, that's about me!"
12-string and open-back banjo: LUV it!
You really know how to get to a guy who lives up at 59.6 degrees North latitude, don't you? Another winner!
