well this will be kind of random for my listeners... but what the "hey" as they say!
In a bit of a writing desert lately, but had a lovely walk two days ago, and got inspired by the sounds coming from newly frozen ice with at least 1000 migrating…

Steve developed this beautiful track with his ukulele and I added some lyrics to make a "positive message" song for the times we are in.... Hope it makes you smile too...
It Won’t Be Like This Forever

Lovely melody, uplifting words....super. 👍👍
By the way, I noticed that only one of my playlists had been made ‘visible’ so now sorted that jn case you wanted a deeper delve!!
I wrote this one in response to a song writing challenge from the Minnesota Association of Songwriters. The title had to be Mississippi Moon and it had to have a I V VI I II chord progression somewhere in the song. Over 20 writers have signed…
Hi there from across the pond! Thank you so much for your kind words about a couple of my tracks....really appreciated. Been listening to few of your recent compositions....love the voice and sentiments - are you influenced by artistes such as Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell etc?

Oh yeah, a lovely song and perfectly performed. Nothing overdone, no smoke and mirrors just a lovely vocal and accompanied plaintively. Nice lyrics too. BTW, I love that expression "swung for the fences"
Well... I have a feeling that many of us may wish for a 2020 do-over. So here's a simple song to make that wish for us all!
Oh Mulligan
I wake up every morning
My jaw is clenched so tight
Even in my dreams it’s a battle
Who’s wrong and…

**Song-writing Demo for FAWM 2022**
Song number 1
Written Sunday 6th February 2022

OK, this is a bit of a departure for me - posting songwriting demos.
This is a one mic recording made this morning in the living room, touch of reverbs…
I love the raw quality of your vocals and just your guitar. Really powerful indeed. Your lyrics touch that place of remembrance of a long ago friend. What might they be like had they stayed around…. Love it!!
(Remastered 22/10/2021)
I was asked (told?) to upload something happy. Hmmm, I thought. This will end well...
So, a few days later, I was rehearsing a pleasant little thing I wrote several years ago that has a working title of "She Was…

I can see you on your rocking horse now
The one that turned around and kicked you in the teeth
He thought…
Rats on the long message! I just figured it out… it was bleeped away when one song ended and the next popped up mid typing by me. All hail Taylor Swift!!! I hope you and yours are doing okay during these crazy times.
Sunshine fill my soul
Let the blues be the first to go
Sunshine can’t complain
If life shows us a little rain
Chorus
Sunshine through the window
At first morning’s light
All the stars fade away
When sunshine gets so bright
When sunshine…
The puppies and I really like this one. I turned it on and they stopped to listen and started bopping their heads along with the upbeat tempo. Love the happy visuals!
Brace yourself! This is my latest Song Challenge entry for Carl Unbehaun’s Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show: Write a song about Groundhog’s Day, a Ground Hog or Woodchuck.

Came back for another! Wait!!! It feels like I’ve heard this before. Woodchucks!!! (Lame groundhogs day reference)
Love this song. And glad you made it without breaking something
Through the years I've known several men who were told by their wives to grab their two-pair of Levis and hit the road. I always wondered if that happened to me, what would I take, besides my two-pair of jeans?

Here is my contribution to the January 2022 Solo Songwriting Challenge offered by the Minnesota Association of Songwriters. The goal was to take an idea from another song without plagiarizing and incorporate it in a new way.
I chose a Public…
I write letters, but I don't send them and they go unanswered. I take them out and rewrite them, picking up the words and clarifying the meanings. I wait in hope that a reply will come someday.
I continue the conversation when it's long over…

Keep me close and afraid
Keep me wandering for days
Keep me exactly the same
Keep me docile and tired
Keep me angsty and wired
Keep me faking the pain
Keep me loose and contained
Keep me close and afraid
Keep me wandering for days…
There is a story behind this song. I'll leave it at that for now.

Snow on the ground. Wind and temperatures below zero. It's time for another coffee table evening.
Recorded live around my coffee table with:
Mark Lofgren - Lead Guitar & Harmony
Colleen Dillon- Ukelele & Harmony
Greg Connor…
Inspired by Last Week's Winter Storm where the only people out driving around in it were the people trying to prove Darwin's theory of Natural Selection.
Vocal addition by Colleen Dillon. Colleen also suggested the topic *"Winter Tune…
Lyrics and Chords:
Winter Solstice
Written by Greg Connor
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…

Love that bluesy feel… I can see that dusty road you’re on with the thumb out indeed
OMG! Hilarious!!!!! True story? Just a pigment of your imagination maybe? Woodchuck hallucinations indicate a need for MORE WINE!
Came back for another listen. Love this so much. I can imagine you doing a whole album about historic subjects. I’d definitely listen to that!
hauntingly beautiful... what a poignant and terribly sad concept you pose in the description...
You are amazing! What a great subject and cool to have this lovely look at history set to your beautiful music. I really love the chorus!
Love this so much. Especially the spare arrangement. It suits the lyrics perfectly.
Happy New Year!…. Lovely music
A great song to mark the beginning of a new year indeed
Gorgeous! Simply wonderful. Love the pretty pipes and the imagery
Merry Christmas to you Greg! This is so pretty. Love the pipes in the background.
I forgot about this pretty song! So glad to hear it again. That coffee table sure has produced some good stuff indeed
OMG! Best song of the season. What have you been adding to the eggnog recipe?
Still One of my all time favorite Greg songs!!
Absolutely perfect!
Perfect music as a soundtrack to the sunrise this morning! Very nice indeed.
