I, like you, use to do electric guitar in my HS years, but also migrated to acoustic. Is that progress? I think so -- this song here would be much less effective if juiced up with distortion and wah wah and the other toys of our youth. This song is hard core as it is, and needs no electricity to get its message across.
One of my other hobbies is watching wildlife in the area. I'm the happiest with a pair of binoculars around my neck and my hiking boots laced up.

I recon this is my favorite Connor tune thus far. That is some coolacious strumming -- quite nifty in fact. The vocals and harmonica are exceptional. Yeah, this one really does in for me.
Dedicated to the Winter that never seems to end.

Such gorgeous picking, and awesome vocals, and as I said below from my Merry Bear account, fabulous lyrics. It's an overall brilliant composition. You really have reached a higher level, and you were up there to begin with. <3 <3 <3

Nice tune. I'm getting a sense that the roller coaster of Life is hitting one of the low spots for you at the moment. I was at a CSN concert back in the 80s, where David Crosby, introducing the song said. "When life lands you in serious sh**, you do the only thing you CAN do... CARRY ON!" And the boys launched into it. And It Was Good.

Great lyrics, love the Simian reference.
I once read a book about difficult people,
but he tore it up and tossed it out.
The tune is tight and druid in feel. I so like this one 5 stars
I uploaded this tune several years ago. The other day I found the track was truncated,and when I tried to replace it, that didn't work. Well, anyway, since then I've redone all the vocals and remixed & remastered the tune, so I just blew away…
Hi Robert,
I haven't experienced that problem of downloading automatically.
I have to say your songs are reaching a new level of professionalism. You are leaving the rest of us in the dust.
Here's a couple of old one's. Having had my left wrist crushed between a Scaffold pole & a nice lump of Steel at work, need a few more weeks rest before I try a strum or two !!!!
I wrote this song earlier this week, and reached out to the wonderful Greg Connor and SL Krell here to help me with the lead, rhythm and bass guitars to give it a nice country love song feel. They killed it!!!!!! Thanks to them both for making…

I got a message from *SLKrell* to stop and take a listen to this.
Well Done!
This is one of those old familiar songs that I have never heard before. It just feels like an old friend, even though it's the first time I've heard it.
Now i'm gonna get out there and get me some sun......
Summertime In The Sunshine
lets make hay while the sun shines
lets get out there today
it’s Summer time so lets get out there and play
summer time in the sunshine
summer time in the…
I was meant to working on a collab...but i got lost....
I got a different way
somebody told me that this is the way
the individual no longer has a say
But i gotta dream i’m gonna change this crazy scene
i tell you now there ain’t no more…

VERY GROOVY, VERY COOL!
I agree totally with what that Justin Otter Guy said below me! ;)
Those Monkeys are buggers you know!!

Very nice!
Quite an exceptional job, both in songwriting and in recording.

Great sound and lyrics Greg. Nicely done.
I don't think Ronny Crème Cheese knows how to favor a tune: look for the heart, then right click. try it you will like it.

You've been taking your songwriting craft to another level of late! Fabulous lyrics. A very pleasant, tasteful mix down. Rich sound.

Touching Song.

Delightful
I think this is my favorite of what I've heard from you. I like Melissa's voice in there with yours.
Ooooooh that's good! Key of G I had to pick up my C Harmonica and play along.

This has the soul of a great romance song.
I just read the description. Hope you are ok.
Great Song! This should help her with a speedy recovery!
Oh . . . . That is a sweet love song!
This is very pretty.
Oh yeah . . . That's the stuff!
Good to hear from you again Peter! Good song . . . and so true.
WOW . . . 5 great songs in a row!
Nice Bass!
FANTASTIC ROBERT! This is a great song! Impeccable production too!
I got a message from *SLKrell* to stop and take a listen to this. Well Done! This is one of those old familiar songs that I have never heard before. It just feels like an old friend, even though it's the first time I've heard it.
Ahhh Summer . . . Go get it while you can!
This is beautiful
I can picture those big things ambling along to the music.
This gets the rebel (or what's left of it) in me stirring.
