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.

Maybe I take that challenge. But my song would be about Patti Meadors who transferred to my school in the middle of my senior year and tho she ate lunch across the street at the elementary school cafeteria with me just a few times and then transferred away before the year was over I will never forget her and...we never had that first date.

Ah a taste of summer. Nice one Greg, catchy chorus and love the banjo.
Just as I am retiring and about to be more of a supportive listener, my account has been deleted. So it's Bee here Greg and consider this has been faved.
I recently retired and for the past 4 months I've been telling people "All that's left are the stories". There will be no more of the glamor and prestige.

I know I should be working on National Solo Album Month, but I'm two timing this month and working on more re-recordings as well. This is the first song for volume three.
I wrote this in 2016 during my June album in a month project. I had…
This isn't the best song I've ever written. I think that one is on the Quarantine Tunes Volume 1 playlist. No, it's not the best but... I'm pretty sure it's my favorite song I've ever written. Not because of the quality of the song, but because…
Well I'm always searching for different sounds to add to my songs, hopefully I've have here. Mind you, learning to play Violins, Violas and Cellos took a bit of

So I got me a new geetar the other week.
Named her Lala, obviously. Seemed kind of appropriate - she wears a faded gold dress and is full of chunes and mischiefs.
This is our first effort together. It was meant…
DIRTY LAUNDRY Key C
I got a call from Russell. He had to move his junk
He’d filled his car. He’d filled his trunk
Big black bags of something. I said, “What’s with these?”
He said, “It’s dirty laundry.” I said, “That’s crazy.”
So, he…
That’s a nice piece of music! I pictured downhill skiing or snowboarding. I’ll admit, we had a whole week of snow last week. That may be why I’m thinking along those lines.
CATTAILS AND BUTTERFLIES capo @ 6 in C
C G repeat
There was a field around the corner
And a stream flowed cross the field
There were cat tails in the summer time
And monarch butterflies
And tadpoles sprouting wings

A simple one-track mandolin tune. In fact it's the first tune I ever made on the mandolin. I think it would be better with a bodhran drum accompanying it, but I don't know how to play those!
Maybe someday this will work its way into something…
A friend asked me,
"Don't you have any happy songs?"
So I wrote one!
IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY capo @ 3

If it makes you happy I will tie your shoe

I found this one while I was digging through the shoe-box for the 1994 songs. Apparently I wrote it on 10th November 1995.
Foolishly, I thought it would only take a week or so to record... I was originally expecting…

Man , you should be better talking about you then that. Ive heard a ton of stories from you and I faved them all
Great to hear you playing more electric!!! excellent solo, very melodic..... outstanding song, has a feel like Roger McGuinn and the Byrds love it

Gotta love that coffee table! Love the breeziness here - fabulous, bittersweet track. Music and voices sounding ace as ever.

Comments made by Greg Connor
Excellent!
Walking down memory lane this morning. This song becomes more appropriate every year that goes by.
I used to know this girl a long, Long, LONG time ago.
Great tone! Thanks for explaining it in the description.
Another sonic blast of great tone.
Oh ..... I like this.
Good tribute to a good friend.
A multi Instrumentalist? Can I have your autograph? This is a really nice song, even though there's a little hanky panky going on.
EXCELLENT! Reminds me of a blow up doll my friend once had. Everything you ever wanted.
I think there are a lot of us who are one step away from Russell’s situation.
That’s a nice piece of music! I pictured downhill skiing or snowboarding. I’ll admit, we had a whole week of snow last week. That may be why I’m thinking along those lines.
Simply a work of genius
that was fun!
This is good! It makes me happy too.
This made me happy!
Oh . . . This is GOOD.
Love it ❤️ A big scoop of attitude with less trick and more treat!
You are setting the pace. This is a thought provoking situational presentation Well done.
My feet are tapping! This is the stuff.
It's fun to hear how you just find these gems in the shoe box.
