Nice very pleasing melody and vocals all round magic!! you wrote a folk/rock opera? Simple Gestures....too cool odd;y enough my band is working on an "Americana" opera about the civil war .. 13 songs ranging from blues to country to rock called The Ballad of Billy Joe Hurley..will post when recording is finished

That Rotten Rosie does a lot of damage> " She is not worth it Greg, What take out the trash? Ok Sweet Rosie ,Right away love"

Very nice lyrics and performance . cg .

You all sound great together!! you should name the band "Minnesota Coffee Table Crew" (MCTC) and take the show on the road...

Really a pretty song. Another fav for sure!!

Well done, to say the least.

Great song!

Well done! And the whistle fits like a glove.

Another CLASSIC!!!!!

So nice Greg!

That's just plain excellent

Wow! This is a really awesome version. I just love the whistle. Brings that mournful feeling right to the front. Gorgeous all around! You have a keeper here.

great use and mix of instruments...dobro sounds really cool....some of your best lyrics...love it!!

Love trhe way the bass comes in. Great bass sound. Like water & glass. I d pay money for that bass with that setting. I think this is is one of your best songs.Lyrics, vocal, melody and production. Taking it to a new level.

A little different angle than Champion Jack Dupree's take on seafood, but I'll always take blues, beer, and shrimp! Sounded like fun to perform and record.

This one just cracks me up! Great song guys!!!

Oops forgot to sign in .... that wino comment was me!

Well now the wine had taken effect.... but I gotta admit that this was a blast to write with this gang

Another great collaboration everybody..I gotta make a road trip...need to see this coffee table

Fun!!! .. now you have to create a new dance....it will be the latest craze "The Sea Salt Shimmie" ...I am dancin right now!! love it guys

You old softy …. This is beautiful.

Humans may not be good but you and Mark are good company! That was a fun afternoon.

Thanks for the great comments. It would be fun to spend an evening playing music with you in one of those "Cow Town" bars. You asked about my musical friends, we all live in the Minneapolis area, maybe within a 20 mile circle. Covid disrupted our activities a lot, and then we all seemed to have major disruptions in our life. My mother, for example, was on hospice most of last year and passed away at 93 years last fall. We are all coming out of the fog now and trying to get back to music. Tomorrow, Mark Lofgren, and I are meeting at Colleen Dillon's house for an afternoon of writing songs. With any luck we'll be posting something on Alonetone this week. I volunteer at Presbyterian Homes where my mother was and yesterday we had a little impromptu concert. I played guitar along with the Activity director and one of the memory care residents. Take a listen: https://mnsongwriters.org/members/greg-connor/mediapress/special-events/rosiebrucegreg/ Let's hope we all get much more active writing and recording this winter.

Great motto to live by.

“Raise a glass so you live life to the full” good advice!

Beautiful Tilden! Is this the Gretsch?

Poignant lyrics wrapped in a perfect presentation. You caught me with this one. Absolutely Beautiful and thought provoking.

This is a tasty bit of music. I love those acoustic instrumental sounds.

This is beautiful.

You old softy! This is a beautiful love song.

I like your style of playing. I play a little music with a friend who plays harp. It’s a beautiful instrument!

This is beautiful

Nice song! You mentioned it was rough, but it doesn’t sound that way. I think you’ve captured it.

Well done Tilden! The circumstances made me chuckle. Those Rosemont people will make you work for it.

I love it!

Great message! Let's see if we can live up to it.

Where … oh where is Lady Jane? I stopped by for “Just a Minute “

Slide and harmonica … my kinda song! Nice lead break at the end of the song.

Good advice! Very relaxed and solid presentation.

I'm giggling out loud. THAT WAS FUN! Great song Colleen. Thanks for including Mark and I in it.
