Gary and I did something good.
ONE AND ONLY
How many times have you been captured by a camera
With no one really knowing who you are
Caught in the sight lines in the background
In the corner of their eyes
Never looking closely at the…
Straight cover, from a backing track, just because I had the urge and I don't think the neighbours would appreciate me thrashing the guitar so late!
The backing track pretty much sums up where my head was at when I recorded it :)
First of all guys, sorry haven't been about for weeks. Been down with Flu & this & that, got to say this song didn't do the throat much good. So many takes, as I coughed up my lungs half way through !!!!! Anyway, an old rant I wrote 6…
This would make great background music for the recent Carnival Cruise Trimumph disaster.

This is one of the things I was fiddling with when I sang Me and Bobby McGee as a distraction last week.
I'm working on finding out how to get acoustic stuff down consistently and effectively within the confines of what I've got here - I wasn…
Greg let me have another go at one of his songs and I the wrote the words and music for a bridge
so that way he has to pay me some royalties when he sells a million !!! lol thanks Greg for your inspiration and great music!!
First of my rpm traks,, this year i am going to try to learn a bit about composing for midi orchestra, with that in mind i have began (in jan) to read several books on midi orchestration, orchestration and counterpoint,,, while these will probably…

Just me and me banjo.

A little banjo-centric parody of the old Irving Berlin song, written after more than a week in -20 C. temps in northwest Russia. Brrr. And Merry Christmas.

A little tune to help me get through the winter ... used my 63 Fender Jazzmaster for the guitar tracks. This guitar has been with me through thick and thin and just gets better with age.

Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
I hear ya, Buddy... but that guitar has incredible presence. (pyropool@earthlink.net)
Another good one from Greg!
i think this is going to be an earworm for the next many days indeed
as they say... "Damn you're good!!!" another masterpiece. I love the lyrics and that haunting picking on the lead parts... and the Greg harmonies!!! Fabulous indeed
I know what it is like when things don't work out the way you planned a fine song! enjoyed it KC
May have been a while but this is another outstanding track!! Great feel and excellent vocals
This is pretty
That's really good Greg ..... hope you had a kilt on when you did it ....... and was there anything on under it ...... ; ) ; )
Just listening again to this and it's so beautiful! You should send it to the Thistle and Shamrock radio show for celtic music! Gorgeous all around!!
Very sweet!
Very nice work here!
I like it!! beautiful mandolin...nice to hear an instrumental from you!!
This is so pretty!!! I’m glad you kept this version indeed.
Nice simple piece. Like it.
Nice one Greg
Very nice,,I really like the chord progression...great lyrics!
By the way ... that is so Scotish folk music , I take my hat off to you ....
This is so pretty! I love the mix and all the pretty instrumental interplay...
What ! ? ! ? ! You old folky , wonderful song .... you got some instruments ?
Saw this pop up in the archives!!! Such great songwriting. Fun to revisit the hits!!!

This would make a great Stadium Rock Anthem.
Another good one. You have some great guitar licks here.
Refreshing . . . right between the soft and the hard.
Good combination of music and lyrics.
You have a nice groove going here. I like that bass.
Attitude +Plus FDR - You Got Style!
First Rate! Nice going guys. This is a great song.
I think your *"Back Up Band"* is holding you back. I found myself leaning in to hear that GREAT voice of yours.
Lots of tenacity here. Your lungs may be coughed up but the family jewels are still clanging together. Nice delivery !
This would make great background music for the recent Carnival Cruise Trimumph disaster. I can just picture those 4,000 souls floating out on the Gulf of Mexico.
Poetry . . . Well crafted, and superbly delivered.
This is JUST PLAIN FUN . . . .
Back for another listen. This goes well with coffee this morning. I feel like it's the sunrise singing to me.
Outstanding . . . I'll drink to that! Good Gawd, the bridge is FANTASTIC. I like the scream and the denial at the end.
Another GREAT video!
Now I'm watching the video. It's nice to know creative people!
I Just found this now! What a riot. I love the interplay between banjo and guitar. You are my FAVORITE musician in Russia.
Yes ... That Jazzmaster is sounding good.
As Ron Rouch would say "Good GAWD" That's funny!
Delightful. Finally . . . Something to contemplate
