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.

I think these challenges are so expanding ,I sat back and followed the the progression carefully.
Then to hear what you did with this unusual thread ,the lyrics made it all seem so natural.
I am impressed. More please

Well it's been a long while (as seems to be the pattern lately) and I was inspired by Greg and Ron's new songs.... Then I saw a lovely note from the Proods saying "I must have been writing during this crazy time" - so I had to respond with something…
Well the virus has my friend and music partner in Krakow Poland sheltering in place but we are using the time to write and record..here is our latest...we tried to write in the style of Motown...check it out ... all music and production by Art…
CALIFORNIA
Capo @ 4 in C/Am
I’m (Am) going back to California
A little place in the San (E) Joaquin
(Am, stepping down A G F# F E)
Where the back pasture builds
To Sierra foothills
And Kaweah tumbles down cool and clean
I’m going back…

OWIE! in G
When I get an owie
I want to tell somebody
When I get an owie
I feel so alone
When I get an owie
I want to show somebody
When I get an owie
I run strait to mom
When I get an owie
It's better if it's bloody...
First chuckle of the day! This has to be the only song I ever heard about an “Owie”.
I wonder if your objective was to get a little attention from Harriet?
GHOST TOWN
Key C. Capo @ 2 or whatever works for you...
C Em F G C
I live in a Ghost Town somewhere on the edge of space
C Em F G
Everything is dusty and everything is in it's place

MN Homebrew Radio show has a monthly writing contest. This month it was to use the word "wait" or "waiting" in your song. So the hook line of the chorus popped into my head at 5:30 in the morning and the rest of the song came pretty quickly…
I was just experimenting with a new arrangement for my cheap condenser mics to try to get better acoustic instrument sound. I think I got on to something I like better. Anyway, fooling around with it, and with this traditional sea shanty (and…
This song was inspired for all of us who've cycled through a relationship or two.... My dear friends Greg Connor and Mark Lofgren of the infamous MN Coffee Table helped bring it to life with Greg on Banjo and Mark on Lead Guitar. Both of them…

Thanks for the comment James! I love your story about your Senior year.
This "Skating" song is fun to listen to. I'm on my second time thru. Definitely unique!
Here's a song that battled me for quite awhile... so I am glad to say I've gotten it recorded. Still rough from my home studio, but trying out a few additional things on my keyboard to round out the sound around the ukulele. Thanks for listening…
I see I left you a comment yesterday while I was not signed in. I was on Park Point waiting for the lift bridge to come down.
You have done it again! That’s what I was thinking. Well constructed and interesting to listen to.
Well done Colleen!
The Winnowing Wind
I feel the wind blow thru me
Oh, please don't let it undo me
Let it level and true me
The Wind. The Winnowing Wind
And here I stand, alone, against the wind,
And, who am I to think that I
Can stand alone against the…
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
I'm so glad you put this playlist together! What a great story.... Love that last line! Hilarious...
And this... woah, mighty fine... and the Elk Rut noises... yep SCARY!
Missed this. Fabulous.
Good job here it was hair raising spooky
Oh my the lightning got you, same thing happened to me
Scared the pants off me .... I ain't going into those woods ....
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.
I don't know how you do it. A deep well - your story telling skills.... Love this one!!! Who did the scary cries?????
Fun!! love the sound effects....neat story and a catchy chorus!!!
great lyrics and well played sung and recorded very much enjoyed! KC
Was there a minor chord in there, I may have effected you, drew you closer to the dark side
Now .... can this be classed as a song about Rita ?? or is it about your car ??? As always Greg .... good stuff.
Cool! really dig the vibe here, good playing and singing! Always love songs about cars and driving :-) keep on cruising ! KC
Cool song, i dig the harmonica and all the instruments sound fine together. I thought it would be about a guitar when i clicked though :)
So many good stories in that brain of yours!! Love this. Especially fun to think of you driving around with Rita in that Mustang... and clean up the backseat would ya!
ha ha love it...reminds me of my first car.. a brand new 69 rally green Camaro that I got in the fall of 1968 great lyrics!!
Another cracker Greg ....
Awww... fabulous. This has got the dulcimer on it too? I love the textures you create with this and the guitar. And the song... gorgeous.
I think these challenges are so expanding ,I sat back and followed the the progression carefully. Then to hear what you did with this unusual thread ,the lyrics made it all seem so natural. I am impressed. More please
Absolutely beautiful! Such delicate finger picking so perfectly matches the lyrics. A masterpiece.!!!!
Comments made by Greg Connor
Beautiful and a great reminder to keep things in perspective. Let's keep on writing!
Lovely music to accompany a peaceful message. Who is playing the piano?
Outstanding! I feel like taking a trip to Detroit.
Nice positive message, and interesting lyric and melody. Excellent!
"Where the moon on the beach pushes time out of reach" That's Poetry!
Very catchy
I love it! 26 seconds long to convey a complete thought.
A bit of a departure from your usual reflective messaging. This one is a real toe tapper.
Beautiful
First chuckle of the day! This has to be the only song I ever heard about an “Owie”. I wonder if your objective was to get a little attention from Harriet?
Beautiful with descriptive imagery. Nice song.
Heartfelt and reflective story telling accompanied by 12 string. Beautiful.
This was a lot of fun! I'll post it to the Minnesota Coffee Table site, as requested, for you.
Beautiful !!! Whatever you are doing, it sounds fantastic. Listening to your lyrics . . . . I think I'd like to meet these Cape Cod Girls.
Not bad for taking the Summer off and catching up with each other after almost 3 months.
Oh Baby! Great Lyrics, Good Singing, Nice bounce, A little Harmony, A touch of Lament & Reflection and a handsome backup band! That was fun!
Now . . . That's what I'm talking about!
