Empty Bottles…
I had myself a dream last night
As I tossed and turned in bed
The window was open wide
The street noise jangled, in my head
.
I was dreaming of a better time
It was all so clear to me
Wind whistled through the pine trees…

Sorry, your song just reminded me that I tell that to Suzanne every fall!!....seriously though, another great tune from you, love what you are playing in the background.

Always one of my favorite songs. I used to play this in my High School Band.
Ah those were the days . . . I had hair back then. You still do. Maybe that's why you can still play this song.
In 1979, my father came home from the record store with an album that forever changed my life, Pete Seeger's Circles & Seasons. Before I knew Pete to be the blacklisted folk icon that had been on the humanitarian side of every fight since…

This just pulled me right in! You have some GREAT tone on that guitar, and your fingers . . . How do you get them to move so fast?
This was a treat to listen to.
Some time ago whilst YouTubing, I stumbled across several videos of old seafaring songs or sea "shanties". Unbelievably, that triggered some very ancient RAM of elementary school music classes wherein we were taught several of these songs. And…

I'm doing just Fine with Buck Erpestad. Check out Bucks music here:

Here is what Buck said he added:
"So I used the tremolophone (vibes) and tuba sounds in Garageband and played them on the keyboard."
A cover of the Laura Veirs song 'Jailhouse Fire', which originally appeared on her excellent album ' The Triumphs & Travails Of Orphan Mae'. I recorded this in 2008, around the time I started demoing songs for what became 'The Anxiety Bomb'.
A bit of nonsense maybe ?? Started off as an instrumental then these words popped out. Call me lazy if you must, but couldn't think of more !!!
C'est la vie !!!!
This is a Phil Keaggy tune. I swiped his original loop and then built my own thing on top of it. Might have been longer, but my volume swell effect keeps slipping out of sync with everything else. May work on it more at a later date
*"Did you miss that gravy train"*
I love it, although it is a little dark.
You might have to do the next song about puppies or daisies in the field to balance things out. Something with a 2/4 beat should do it.
Whatever wrong could come of mixing a pop-ish song with a bit of rap. I think it came off rather well, except for the fact that I can't rap to save my life. Oh lord, it was so pathetic!
I was passing by a darkened church this evening, as the wind danced through the trees, looking though the a window, i noticed a single candle lit, flickering on the alter step, casting a shadow within.. as i pressed an ear to the dusty glass…
Just musing about all the "can do" quotes I see on Facebook.

But I can’t play the fiddle no matter how many I try

Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
Nice tune, Greg. "All I got left is your lousy cat." Great description of a cat.
Ahhhh .... a walk down memory lane this morning!
Beautiful - tender, atmospheric. Loving that whistle also - gorgeous touch!
Brought a smile! Very clever - and so true!
Wonderful collaboration!
Oh, I really really, really, like this one :)
When will we be able to meet and enjoy each other again
Ho Ho Ho ......
Oops that last comment was me... forgot to sign in. Merry Christmas!
That’s it exactly! Love those reindeer bells too
Ha Ha,,,it's a COVID kind of Christmas.... great tune, made me smile!
Apropos ho-ho-ho! Good job
I just love this... inspires me to get going on some writing. Love the pretty picking and the whistle is the perfect touch.
The classical guitar sounds sweet...love the sound of nylon strings...and I always want to hear the Irish whistle!! excellent!!!
Beautiful Greg ...... and yes, it seems darker this year ....
Good leads on the new box, I enjoyed this one
A cracker Greg ....... as always ..... : )
"When the snow is on the pumpkin it's time for dicky dunkin" Sorry, your song just reminded me that I tell that to Suzanne every fall!!....seriously though, another great tune from you, love what you are playing in the background.
Simply lovely!
Back for a second listen..... and about my earlier question that you gave me options for: I think it was RITA!!!!

Interesting take on a great old song
Lilting melody. I can feel myself on a reach with a gentle breeze.
Always one of my favorite songs. I used to play this in my High School Band. Ah those were the days . . . I had hair back then. You still do. Maybe that's why you can still play this song.
Excellent . . . especially considering our recent weather.
Thanks to another cultural landslide for bringing this song to the foreground. Pete accomplished a lot in 94 years. We're going to miss him.
Eclectic and interesting. It just pull you right in. Nice going James.
This just pulled me right in! You have some GREAT tone on that guitar, and your fingers . . . How do you get them to move so fast? This was a treat to listen to.
I just watched the video . . . You have an impressive banjo, and your presentation is first class.
That's some nice banjo playing! You really brought that old song back to life.
Buck . . . You got me laughing. Very original contribution.
Great Song!
Plenty of fuel for a *"Power Nap"* here!
Ah .... A little bit of a Chuck Berry vibe. I wonder what's on your mind?
I like this lilting style! Your combined vocals are excellent and the tone of that guitar brings it over the top. Very enjoyable.
I like the whistling.
This stopped me in my tracks . . . absolutely beautiful.
*"Did you miss that gravy train"* I love it, although it is a little dark. You might have to do the next song about puppies or daisies in the field to balance things out. Something with a 2/4 beat should do it.
Nice song, with interesting sounds complimenting it.
This is unbelievable. I think I got tears in my eyes!
Very Pretty James!
