Another Minnesota Coffee Table Song! Written and recorded "live" in one evening.
Memories: Written and performed by John Bennet, Joe Passofaro, Mark Lofgren, Colleen Dillon & Greg Connor. Listen to Minnesota Homebrew Radio w/ Carl…
This song is the result of exchanging "One Line Zingers" with my friend Tom last Saturday while playing a little music.
He challenged me to write a song about him and he would do the same at my expense.
The funiest song wins.

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…
Caught up in the recent political events, ISIS suicide bombers and pedifiles being protected by clergy . . . all on the evening news.
All guitar parts performed on my hand made Kapke Archtop Guitar made by my friend Damon Kapke.
There…
Pack a bag and head out west
Change of clothes and leave the rest
Northern skin needs a little sun
Sunshine can cure anyone
Slow it down to a steady pace
Forget about the human race
All I need is what’s inside
Take the rest and let it…
Just like two sides
Of the same silver dollar
We’re not alike but still the same
And your big life
Makes mine look smaller
I wonder if you know my name
I wait around
You might be calling
A telephone that never rings
End of the day…
Two hours before morning light
Highway signs go by all night
Open window to catch the breeze
Helps me clear my cluttered mind
Road noise rumbling through the floor
Been on this road once or twice before
My mind is racing up ahead
Leaving…
This song pretty much sums up my life right now. No direction and no ambition.
Maybe because it's SpringTime and Love is in the air.
In keeping with the romantic nature of the season, it features:
BANJO . . . . . The instrument made…
New Computer - Just testing to see if everything works
Lyrics:
One kiss leads to another
Down the road we go
In each other’s arms
Love struck, drive me crazy
Hoping that you recognize
My charms
One kiss leads to love
One kiss…
Greg, at first i thought you were singing the song from Hair. But, your version is way better. You are getting really good at combining tracks together with your voice. :)c
Pleasure boats and fishermen
Tugboat pushin three barges wide
Sit on the banks from morn till evening
Wave to the people as they pass me by
Up in Minnesota she’s fast and cold
Walleye fishing just below the dam
Go and catch em til…
Way Cool Greg! I really like the sound of your cigar boxes, harmonica, and whatever those bones are that your rattling. Lyrics and melody make ya smile. :) c
Dedicated to the Winter that never seems to end.
