WOW!! this really has a great feel and reminds me of Tom Petty…and a little “Beatles For Sale” flavor…check out the album cover..released 1964….you win the fall challenge……outstanding
Great groove and lyric. This might be the best GC song I’ve heard. You have all your images working. A total success. Vocal, production…all fully realized.

Here’s another awesome song! Love your guitar playing on the break…. I think you’ve been secretly laughing in the corner on some of my recent first dates. You’ve got this nailed!!!! Great singing too!
OWIE!
When I get an owie
I want to tell somebody
When I get an owie
I feel so alone
When I get an owie
I want to show somebody
When I get an owie
I run strait to mom
When I get an owie
It's better if it's bloody...
First chuckle of the day! This has to be the only song I ever heard about an “Owie”.
I wonder if your objective was to get a little attention from Harriet?
GHOST TOWN

I live in a Ghost Town somewhere on the edge of space

Everything is dusty and everything is in it's place
Am Em F G C
All the doors hang open and when it rains I shake

MN Homebrew Radio show has a monthly writing contest. This month it was to use the word "wait" or "waiting" in your song. So the hook line of the chorus popped into my head at 5:30 in the morning and the rest of the song came pretty quickly…read more
I was just experimenting with a new arrangement for my cheap condenser mics to try to get better acoustic instrument sound. I think I got on to something I like better. Anyway, fooling around with it, and with this traditional sea shanty (and…read more

SKATING
I shouldn’t be out skating. Storm is passing thru
Out here in the darkness where I last saw you
Standing neath that street lamp. Standing cold and wet
Only light and shadow and regret
I shouldn’t be out skating tho the traffic…read more
Thanks for the comment James! I love your story about your Senior year.
This “Skating” song is fun to listen to. I’m on my second time thru. Definitely unique!
Well, my fans, such as they be (they be great, if few in numbers) encouraged me to "really" record this from Greg Connor's songwriting challenge. So off into the Total Chaos studio I went, and now this is out on CD Baby (sales proceeds go to benefit…read more
Here's a song that battled me for quite awhile... so I am glad to say I've gotten it recorded. Still rough from my home studio, but trying out a few additional things on my keyboard to round out the sound around the ukulele. Thanks for listening…read more
I see I left you a comment yesterday while I was not signed in. I was on Park Point waiting for the lift bridge to come down.
You have done it again! That’s what I was thinking. Well constructed and interesting to listen to.
Well done Colleen!
Just happened to run across Greg Connor's challenge to write a song around the words "who knew". I knew right off I wanted to include some characteristics of Greg's songs: romance, humor, and Las Cruces leaped to mind. I thought about it for a…read more
This song graced our living room this morning. Your guitar playing on this is amazingly delicate, but it’s the lyrics that got both Rita and I laughing out loud. Now …. that’s poetry.
Written for an RPM. The music came first via Brian Bazeley and this is what came of it. Gary Essex added some gentle percussion. I just found this one lurking in my files and decided it should be part of my Alonetone list.
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
The theme song of Texas.

Very sweet song.
I agree with Ron, just saddling up ….. with a tear in my eye !!
Ahh now that’s Americana heart twisting in spades
Ahhh crap - now my beer is all salty!!
Oh I love this one! Perfect for a big ‘ol singalong!
Had to put on my cowboy boots and saddle up Trigger!!! love it… country cowboy music at it’s best!
OMG! What great story telling… Now I know this never happened to you :-) :-) :-) Beautiful!!!
That story sounds familiar
you are the next Bob Dylan!!! love the song, has a Dylan flavor…Excellent
Ha! Another one discovers that you can use banjo AND squeezebox and get away with it!!
Hey there! This one is a real keeper. Love the imagery of your lyrics and your banjo / harmonica just gives it a sultry sound. Love it!!!!
WOW!! this really has a great feel and reminds me of Tom Petty…and a little “Beatles For Sale” flavor…check out the album cover..released 1964….you win the fall challenge……outstanding

Wonderful layer of Guitar work Greg.
Breezy, bittersweetness. Love the longing.

A bit of a departure from your usual reflective messaging. This one is a real toe tapper.
Beautiful

Beautiful with descriptive imagery. Nice song.
Heartfelt and reflective story telling accompanied by 12 string. Beautiful.
This was a lot of fun! I’ll post it to the Minnesota Coffee Table site, as requested, for you.
Beautiful !!! Whatever you are doing, it sounds fantastic. Listening to your lyrics . . . . I think I’d like to meet these Cape Cod Girls.
Not bad for taking the Summer off and catching up with each other after almost 3 months.
Oh Baby! Great Lyrics, Good Singing, Nice bounce, A little Harmony, A touch of Lament & Reflection and a handsome backup band! That was fun!
Now . . . That’s what I’m talking about!
Thanks for the comment James! I love your story about your Senior year. This “Skating” song is fun to listen to. I’m on my second time thru. Definitely unique!
I’m laughing out loud . . . We’ve had a lot of fun! Now I’m moving on to find your song about Horse Meat.

Wow! Beautiful lyrics and accompanying music.
Good stuff! I like the way it builds.
Pretty song / Sad story
Beautiful and peaceful

Nice Country Twanger!
Beautiful, light and inviting.
