I recently retired and for the past 4 months I've been telling people "All that's left are the stories". There will be no more of the glamor and prestige.

When you come to the end of the road
and all of the signs just say "No"
You never say, "Quit"
Cause that's not your bit
You're not a pup
You never give up...
HEAR MY FINAL SONG
Most were drinkin', four were playin' cards
Two were dancin', one he played guitar
He was singin' how she broke his heart
Some were smokin', smoke rings filled the air
One was flirtin', playin' with her hair
He was…
One day as I was turning into my driveway I saw Rita on her porch. She's a lot like me.
AL & RITA Capo @2 in C
C stepping down to F
Al was a smoker. He's dead now, of course
Al has Alzheimer's. Alcohol made it worse
D stepping down…
This a primer melody for this lyric, so feel free to tweak it ( for the collaboration four)<>>.The transmission started slipping on the way home from work today...Man I sure could stand a little raise in pay. no talking about saving for…

IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY
If it makes you happy I will tie your shoe
If it makes you happy I will tickle you
If it makes you happy I'm telling you true
If it makes you happy I'll be happy too
If it makes you happy I will wiggle my ears…
I'd been following the Euro horsemeat scandal since it broke in the UK some time ago. But the songwriter in me didn't react until Ikea found pony in their Swedish meatballs the other day.
Alonetoners - you're hearing it first!

It has been a salty year for me, performing with a great sea shanty group in Saint Petersburg. I've written a number of sea songs this year, and this one especially for the 2014 holiday season.
Sorry, to post just a clip here, but I've released…
OMIE WISE (traditional)

Oh, listen to my story, and I'll tell you no lies
How John Lewis did murder poor little Omie Wise
He told her to meet him at Adams's Springs
He would bring her some money…
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
Fun tune!! love you doing the harmony part with yourself......
Great harmonies!
Gotta love that coffee table! Love the breeziness here - fabulous, bittersweet track. Music and voices sounding ace as ever.
I'm going to be humming this all afternoon.
Bloody birds! They do it every time.
Great lyrics...funny too...this sounds like I could hear it on Sesame Street!!! mix sounds amazing
Ah, so true...at timed. :)
You are so funny! Is this street nearby in Savage? And I love the Thoreau reference. Some killer lyrics throughout. Yay!
How did I miss this one? Great song. Your voice is awesome.
Another great song. such fun. Mom
Nice vocal, Colleen.
Yay!!!! That was a great time together. I love this song so much!!!!
Oh yeah...full band recording!!.... vocals are outstanding, really nice live mix ....
Big clean transparent sound. Wish I knew how you do it. (Good blues tune too!)
Well done, Greg. Never retire from playing your wonderful music.
Nice job, Greg!!
Yummy ,Southern Fried
Congratulations on the CD
Great tune! has a real southern feel...that "Black Water" groove by the Doobie Brothers another outstanding job all around!!
Now that's how to write a tune. The second verse was perfect....... If we I get to sing this one together ,I got dibs on that second verse.

Wow . . . I had to strap myself in, just to hold on. Excellent start to the new year!
Great way to start the New Year
Ah . . . Good Times!
Now the blood is pumping!
Short and Sweet. Good message.
Very Smooth! Let's hope the new year comes in that way too!
*AND NOW THAT I'M LOGGED IN* . . . . . It looks like I have accidently added a little humor as well.
Sad and beautiful at the same time. A good look into the lives we lead.
I love this! I wish I had heard it before we put the other version up. I completely missed it until now.
It will be fun to hear when the other parts come in. Merry Christmas Gene!
I just toured your website. Wow . . . That's an impressive life.
*Smiling*. By the end of this.
I had to stop by for another taste of this.
*Oh* . . . . . . This is good! You hit the spot with this one.
Ahhhhhhhh . . . Now I'm in the Christmas Spirit!
Pretty Song!
Nice beat. Interesting texture to the song.
Ahhhhhhh . . . . I've missed you.
Just found this! What a treat!
Excellent! Well done to both of you! Great story.
