I had myself a dream last night
As I tossed and turned in bed
The window was open wide
The street noise jangled, in my head
.
I was dreaming of a better time
It was all so clear to me
Wind whistled through the pine trees…

That’s a nice piece of music! I pictured downhill skiing or snowboarding. I’ll admit, we had a whole week of snow last week. That may be why I’m thinking along those lines.

And a stream flowed cross the field
There were cat tails in the summer time

A simple one-track mandolin tune. In fact it's the first tune I ever made on the mandolin. I think it would be better with a bodhran drum accompanying it, but I don't know how to play those!
Maybe someday this will work its way into something…
A friend asked me,
"Don't you have any happy songs?"
So I wrote one!

(Remastered 22/10/2021)
I found this one while I was digging through the shoe-box for the 1994 songs. Apparently I wrote it on 10th November 1995.
Foolishly, I thought it would only take a week or so to record... I was originally expecting…
So I had this song, not quite finished, I sort of insisted Greg Connor sing it, he also wrote the last verse. Steve Krell added the solo break. I think they helped to bring the song alive. Oh yeah, I'm in the Chorus ...... hiding Somewhere. :) :)

Hey Colleen, you asked "Who did the scary cries????"
There are two theories:
1. It's Rita calling me for dinner.
2. It's my world famous Elk Rut recordings that I usually play every Halloween.
Well... I have a feeling that many of us may wish for a 2020 do-over. So here's a simple song to make that wish for us all!

Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
Nice tune, Greg. "All I got left is your lousy cat." Great description of a cat.

Beautiful - tender, atmospheric. Loving that whistle also - gorgeous touch!
Brought a smile! Very clever - and so true!
Wonderful collaboration!

Ha Ha,,,it's a COVID kind of Christmas.... great tune, made me smile!
Apropos ho-ho-ho! Good job
I just love this... inspires me to get going on some writing. Love the pretty picking and the whistle is the perfect touch.
The classical guitar sounds sweet...love the sound of nylon strings...and I always want to hear the Irish whistle!! excellent!!!
Beautiful Greg ...... and yes, it seems darker this year ....
Good leads on the new box, I enjoyed this one
A cracker Greg ....... as always ..... : )

You are setting the pace. This is a thought provoking situational presentation Well done.
My feet are tapping! This is the stuff.
It's fun to hear how you just find these gems in the shoe box.
There we go! Good stuff!
Great song Roger!

That's really beautiful Colleen! A nice artistic way of saying what we all feel. Thank You!
I'm right there with you. I'm a button pusher when it comes to the radio.
It would be fun to hear your band play live someday. I wonder if you have anything on YouTube?
I like that Northern Michigan influence. Nice groove!
Lovely little ditty. You are the master of the quick statement and done song.
Yes, I just enjoy your band. Great singing and playing!
Good stuff!
