Don't usually comment on my own songs, but in case there's any confusion... YES Greg - there is no humour in the song at all, none intended, I feel it the same way as you... and I actually love it for that myself... it's what the song evolved into from a joke verse I wrote (In Tom Waits voice, Roger! hehe) ... But when I was first recording it, in my own voice, x years ago it was SO sad (and not in a "Bobby Goldsboro - Honey" good kind of way) that we decided to put it in the filing cabinet for a while!

Well done! The title is very inviting. I couldn’t help but listen.
I never found the humor, but rather a poignant feeling of loss, eloquently described.

Andrew, Connie's Song is a song I do not remember writing and I have no idea what it's about. I must have been very sleepy. I have never sung in that voice before. Thank you for commenting.

I've been messing around playing guitar from time to time... I came up with some progressions and thought maybe I should lay down some tracks since I haven't posted in a while. I found the beginnings of some lyrics I had jotted on my iPhone and…
I just acquired a five string banjo. It was broken and I did a lot of work to it. It is now playable, though I'm waiting on some parts (the 5th string tuner is no good so it only has 4 strings, and I have to tune of of those 4 using vise grips…
Yes - Like it. Really works like this.
I want to get a banjo, but I'm filled with trepidation over what sort to get - so I keep putting it off.
This has re-awakened the urge.
This is one that I started with a synth progression and over the week it grew....
Everything is in there but the kitchen sink I think. Used midi for GB synth sounds, choirs, bass, Kontakt strings and organ, piano,horns, sax lab for sax, godin…

I had never seen a place so cold...
Glad I don't live there any more.
Happy that I like the simple life...
Bright lights.
Sun and Moon.
Any Star that lead away from you.
Now I move on, not moved…
Just me and my acoustic.
I've just learned how to record both at the same time.
I didn't know this song the day before this recording.
It was done in one take, with dodgy guitar playing, wrong lyrics and sore throat :)
from the jail cell came a song from the condemned .......

This is the title track off my second album. That means it's not a new track, or recording. It was written in summer of 2012 and recorded around October or November of that year. But it had not been put up here and I thought I would share it…
A little sick; but couldn't resist.

Andrew, Connie's Song is a song I do not remember writing and I have no idea what it's about. I must have been very sleepy. I have never sung in that voice before. Thank you for commenting.
A little touch of 80's or am i wrong? anyway i like this. Production value: ACE.
You always have the crispiest sounding rock pieces. Very nice!
Sounds to me like a song ' The Child Catcher ' should sing, Ha Ha, creepy but happy all at the same time, love it.
Ha! Whoever gave you such a command is a fricking genius... And boom! You've created a new genre: s-c-a-r-y happy. Arrangement is fabulous - backing vocals, guitar...brilliant! *hides*
Crazy good moves slide into a Beatles style chorus how did this work ? I don’t know but it did . Most respected
Going to have this one locked in my head for a very long time...... thanks! (I think!!)
Great message and wonderful music. Your guitar parts are fantastic.
I think we both needed a break from the dark covid songs :-) very well written song! enjoyed! KC
Loving it 😁

First of yours I've heard. Nice one. Got me clicking the "Follow" button.
Yep, like this version too.
Yes - Like it. Really works like this. I want to get a banjo, but I'm filled with trepidation over what sort to get - so I keep putting it off. This has re-awakened the urge.
Cool version.
Nice one. I like everything-but-kitchen-sink music anyway (well, I can't not, can I?!), love how you've fitted it all together. Gorgeous track.
Oh yes, love it. Around two minutes, the stuff on the right (I'm in headphones) scared the crap out of me!! I actually ducked as it appeared lol
Aww, this is fabulous.
Yo T :-) Good to hear some new stuff from you. Like it.
Oops! Wrong account... that was me :-) Yeah... love the vocal
Another goodie. Where DO they all come from?! :D
Oh this is class. Love it.
Like it! Lots
Yeah, like it... DIY and all!
You are a crazy man! One of a kind...
Nice one.
Another cool chorus. And you're not alone on the subconscious song subject!
Nice one, like the chorus a lot.
Glad you couldn't resist. Love it.
Don't know the original, but I like this version.
Yep, cool RPM. Nice one. Digging the Stones and Crowes type boogie.
