Tugboat pushin three barges wide
Sit on the banks from morn till evening

Up in Minnesota she’s fast and cold

TRUE STORY
Here comes Ernest he say how you want your eggs
Don’t matter what you say to me, don’t care how much you beg
This here is my damn place and you are just a passing through
You’re lucky just to be alive cause I don’t care about…

LYRICS:
With Or Without You
Try to get along but it takes two
It’s a Whole lot of me and not much you
Working myself right to the bone
Thinking that I am all alone
Just like a monkey up in the tree
Throwing your feces straight…
.
Full moon, full of mystery
Full moon, shadows thru the trees
I can feel your spell, I’m beggin at you please
So long I been straight and true
No wrong has come into view
I can feel that dark side, all because of you
Way down…

Looks like your How to Assemble has reached 100 plays, and all 5 Currently Kicking Ass tunes are STILL How to Assemble songs, but your is on top. Congrats -- I'd call that a hit, and you are once again "The Featured Artist" -- and that's a damn good choice!
Wow Greg! I saw this come in just as I was turning off my computer for the weekend... It's really beautiful. I love the pipes in the background and the beautiful picking. You should be sitting in the corner of a hushed pub in Galway playing this tune. Wonderful Irish Poem!!
My arrangement of an American traditional tune with tons of variations on title, lyrics and tune. I went for a little delta feel with some light slide on the guitar, and harmonica along with the banjo... definitely strange but I think it works.
Here's a song I recorded a couple of months ago when I had the flu ... as the voice reveals :)
Recorded early in the morning,in the bathroom, using the built-in mics on my boss br800.
Just a rough version of a song I plan to record properly during this coming February's RPM Challenge.
EDUCATION REALITY CHECK
I work with children every morning
Check their progress every night
I'm an expert with technology
And interactive…
I dreamt a piano
with just a few keys
With limitless chords
and one melody
Caught by a cloud
who cried its last tear
it fell on my window
it’s been falling for years
Ageless, weightless
nameless, shameless
Ageless, weightless
nameless, shameless…
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
The percussion section is exceptionally groovy. Great job on the harmonica. Well, really, all of it is great.
Just listened to this one again.... Wonderful song!!!
@Steve, I had to go back and look up my version of the story. You and I are consistent. Ernest was one of a kind.
Singing's good, Greg!
Came by to hear if I still liked this one. Apparently I still do. Gorgeous.

Wicked !!!!!
Wonderful slideworks !!!!! nice song well performed !

Fabulous effort Mr.Conner. Lovin' it.
You are versatile in both instruments and genres, and from Sea Shanty to Irish Ballad, you do it all with heart and skill. Gorgeous! Encore!
Nice, Greg… you're a versatile guy! … I don't think that I've heard you do an Irish tune before.
Oh lovely stuff.

Beautiful. I think I'm going to go upstairs and look out the window again.... see what the sunrise looks like.
Nice acoustic guitar work, and great narrative!
. . Refreshing .
Nice banjo pickin. You really caught the essence of this one.
Wow! This really captures the imagination
Great way to start the day! Very Pretty.
I grew up with John Prine and Steve Goodman. It was fun to listen to your rendition of one of his classics.
Go Get Um Johnny!
Good Song
O H Y E A H
Sounds like love is in the air.
Interesting combination of musical sounds
Wonderful !!! Completely Entertaining.
Outstand Lyrics! Keith .... You really hit the mark!
I'm a sucker for an acoustic guitar. You hooked me once you started singing. Nice song.
This is a little different from what I have grown to expect from you. Very Pretty.
The harmonica really does it for me. You got a good bouncy song going here.
Call it what you like, I enjoyed it.
Did you write this while you were out partying until 4:00 AM on New Years? I think I could learn a lot from you!
I like the sound of that acoustic guitar with an open sounding tune complimented by the harmony. Very nice.
