River run away with me
I got my paddle in my hand
Take me far away from here
Take me to the sea
Take me somewhere I don’t know
Take me where the water goes
Start out fast, then go slow
Closer to the…
Sometimes it comes down to the simple pleasures of life.

Wow, I was already thinking what a special song this is & then then that flute solo just sealed it! Sure would love to hear an "extended mix" with more of that! I like where everything sits in the stereo field, this is a nice spacious mix...

Old Country Songs
Wooden Chair by the window
Gibson on my lap
And the time I spend strumming
Is never coming back
The sun is shining on me
Evening won’t be long
I’m living in the city
Singing…

I hadda go and play this after a long day with very light lunch, right as it's getting to be dinner time. Working in Prague this week - now I gotta find me a Czech greasy spoon. It'll be beer, not coffee.

I thought I'd uploaded this ages ago!
Less chaotic 'Chaos' after I found a melody I was happy with, and the delay button :)
Enjoy! xox
P.S. I knew I'd seen it on here somewhere - it was uploaded by Jip under Third Quarter of the Moon :)
billy boy where did you go
sittin in a pile of snow
come on down its gettin cold
for the time is getting old
well we made our way to the old wigwam
frozen lake and wind was calm
standing bow did strike a deer
to feed the tribe…
Found a interesting sounding indian instrument via the computer world and strummed out chords on my lil midi guitar. Added some percussion, strings and a flute.
Another Live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen back in 1988 on the NPR show Mountain Stage. This time a piece of Gaelic mouth music followed by 3 reels. Maybe the most complex arrangement of a set of tunes that we ever did.
January challenge songwriting fun...
WATER UNDER WATER
So near the surface
So near the end
So near the purpose
Time and again
Just barely breathing
I’ll need you when
I’m floating in the water under water
Holding on loosely

I suspect Part 3 is coming soon. I enjoyed the originality of this story/song concept.
Fun to listen to.
I kept thinking of my niece, a young and budding actress. I could see her and her friends performing this on stage.
You might have a new career waiting for you . . . Playwrite.
this is my take on Joe Bonamassa's version of Blind Faith's "Had To Cry today"
a much shorter version...just wanted to record that cool lick and am trying to work on my vocals ... oh well ..what a time to try to learn to sing at my age...63 next…
Another quick scratch take, had to edit out a weird little noise from when the keyboard fell onto the guitar, but otherwise one take, render and upload. This will probably undergo a whole lot of revision to get a more usable center section and…
Any resemblance to the Yiddish word Chutzpah is of the purest intent. With a doff of the hat to Sheldon Alan "Shel" Silverstein ...and Mad magazine for all of their influences. that indeed did rot my brain
This song written by Mark Imsdahl..I found it over at Greg Connor's ...I liked it so much that I asked Greg and Mark if I could do an electric version of it and they agreed...i want to have Mark blow some harp on it when he gets back from vacation…
What happened after too much time on youtube watching live vids of "voodoo chile" Noisy obnoxious and very cathartic for me! Live to 2tracks with the Jamman
A complete re-vamp of a 6 year old song. Sure I wrote the lyrics while on holiday in Majorca, rewrote a couple of lines, picked up me ole guitar last week & just played this tune & it all seem to fit. Could need a lay down now !!!!
For the grandchildren, when I get some!
Moonbee started life as a doodle, then he was turned into a little story, then a song!
This is Part 1 of the series - I have no idea how many there will be in total!
Enjoy! xox

Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
Great song, love it!
Qh yes
And this is good too
The echoharp sounds like a concertina. Nice touch.
Going very nicely with dessert.
All I find is holey socks in the bottom of my drawer!!!!.....great stuff... love the whistle
Damn- that is stunningly beautiful! Whistle line reminds me of a traditional Irish tune called "Summertime Summertime".
Ahh that hits a sweet spot,A good instrumental in the morning.
Very pretty piece Greg,A valentine without words,
Beautiful song....great lyrics, vocals, guitar...everything nicely done

good song
I like them both. You are amasing
Loved it from the first chord, it hooked me
Oh Yeah- You're speaking my language! Now I'm hungry for an open faced Roast beef with mashed potatoes and gravy
Wonderful lyric! Lovely laid back atmosphere. Niiiice guitar work!
I hadda go and play this after a long day with very light lunch, right as it's getting to be dinner time. Working in Prague this week - now I gotta find me a Czech greasy spoon. It'll be beer, not coffee.
I like the pulse of this song. Nice job Greg.
love the guitar work, good greasy food, one of the best ways to use your mouth. I can think of one or two more
Love the hesitation guitar/this is a smooth rocking tune of a most excellent degree.

This just makes you feel good.
That's it Stan. I just added you to the people I follow. Keep them coming!
This one *really* caught me! What a great idea, and well executed. You have created something special here.
Great sound to drift along with. I like the tempo changes. Delightful.
This is one of the freshest original sounds I've heard recently. Well done. Second listen now. Billy Boy just draws you in.
Good for the Soul . . . Just like you said.
Nice song. I like the tones you got out of the guitar.
You really know how to deliver it. I love it.
Interesting sounds. Really captivating! And like *Breaking Light* says . . . Let's see the Belly Dancers!
Great way to start the morning!
Nice one Keith. I even dug out the headphones to take another listen. Great song writing! I just pulls you in.

Love It! You are the Master!
That's pretty neat
Good Story!
Oh Yeah . . . I get an instant smile when I listen to this. Over the top . . . The only way to go.
Not what I expected, but definitely fun to listen to.
I liked the early version, but that's just me.
Like a breath of fresh air. Nice one Jane. First original song? Well Done!
It's a winner Roger! Just makes you feel good.
