I had fun singing this at the open mic this past week.
Originally written for a song writing challenge using the phrase *"Chicken Plucking Time In Petaluma"*
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen to one of my sloppily recorded ideas! I have had the worst time with basic song construction and even coming up with more than one verse or chorus and then completely loosing my drive. I'm not under the impression that my riffs or ideas for songs suck or anything but I fell cumbersome because I have no endgame and without a point , what's the point right?? ;) anyway, that leads me to my reason for swinging by at the moment, thank you tremendously for the kind words on "4 the kisses...." I waswondering if you would consider putting a vocal track to it please? I understand fully if you can't or simply don't want to, but if you do..... !!!!!!! I would be eternally greatful and for the rest of my stay at alonetone.com I would consider naming my 1st born Greg
LYRICS:
With Or Without You
Try to get along but it takes two
It’s a Whole lot of me and not much you
Working myself right to the bone
Thinking that I am all alone
Just like a monkey up in the tree
Throwing your feces straight…
.
Full moon, full of mystery
Full moon, shadows thru the trees
I can feel your spell, I’m beggin at you please
So long I been straight and true
No wrong has come into view
I can feel that dark side, all because of you
Way down…
Pleasure boats and fishermen
Tugboat pushin three barges wide
Sit on the banks from morn till evening
Wave to the people as they pass me by
Up in Minnesota she’s fast and cold
Walleye fishing just below the dam
Go and catch em til…
TRUE STORY
Here comes Ernest he say how you want your eggs
Don’t matter what you say to me, don’t care how much you beg
This here is my damn place and you are just a passing through
You’re lucky just to be alive cause I don’t care about…

Looks like your How to Assemble has reached 100 plays, and all 5 Currently Kicking Ass tunes are STILL How to Assemble songs, but your is on top. Congrats -- I'd call that a hit, and you are once again "The Featured Artist" -- and that's a damn good choice!
Black is white
White is black
I crossed the line
I can’t go back
It all comes together
It all falls apart
I’m on the edge
From the start
I’ve gone Colour Blind
To her signs, Colour Blind
Tears on your face
A broken heart
Unkind…
A great little collaboration with Greg Connor and Colleen Dillon.
Merry Christmas to Everyone ......
And a silly little video :

well this will be kind of random for my listeners... but what the "hey" as they say!
In a bit of a writing desert lately, but had a lovely walk two days ago, and got inspired by the sounds coming from newly frozen ice with at least 1000 migrating…
This brought a smile! I love the backup singers. They mix with the uke and your voice perfectly. Excellent message as well.
Favorite, Favorite, Favorite🦢
Thanks for listening ........
SLEEP WHILE I DRIVE
Baby you can sleep while I drive
The Stars shine bright as I’ll slip the car into overdrive
I’ve got faith showing me the way out to the dream
Out into that brand new day
Where hopes…

I know I should be working on National Solo Album Month, but I'm two timing this month and working on more re-recordings as well. This is the first song for volume three.
I wrote this in 2016 during my June album in a month project. I had…
This isn't the best song I've ever written. I think that one is on the Quarantine Tunes Volume 1 playlist. No, it's not the best but... I'm pretty sure it's my favorite song I've ever written. Not because of the quality of the song, but because…
Well I'm always searching for different sounds to add to my songs, hopefully I've have here. Mind you, learning to play Violins, Violas and Cellos took a bit of

So I got me a new geetar the other week.
Named her Lala, obviously. Seemed kind of appropriate - she wears a faded gold dress and is full of chunes and mischiefs.
This is our first effort together. It was meant…
DIRTY LAUNDRY Key C
I got a call from Russell. He had to move his junk
He’d filled his car. He’d filled his trunk
Big black bags of something. I said, “What’s with these?”
He said, “It’s dirty laundry.” I said, “That’s crazy.”
So, he…

Love this song!!!
Big smiles here, as I'm partial to the Celtic sound. Lovely playing on all the instruments!

Great song!
im sitting in a dark room with good speakers falling into this very cool evocative piece,, nice
The percussion section is exceptionally groovy. Great job on the harmonica. Well, really, all of it is great.
Just listened to this one again.... Wonderful song!!!
@Steve, I had to go back and look up my version of the story. You and I are consistent. Ernest was one of a kind.
Singing's good, Greg!
Came by to hear if I still liked this one. Apparently I still do. Gorgeous.
sooooo well done,, your play is beautiful,, is that a penny whistle or some sort of flute,, it's quite breathy as a whistle,, and beautiful indeed
Wicked !!!!!
Wonderful slideworks !!!!! nice song well performed !

Ahhhh .... a walk down memory lane this morning!
Strolling along the archives this morning and came across this little gem!
Good fun you guys! Now we’re one step closer to holiday cheer.
Outstanding! The music just grabbed me and the vocal lifted me right off the ground!
This brought a smile! I love the backup singers. They mix with the uke and your voice perfectly. Excellent message as well. Favorite, Favorite, Favorite🦢
A nice lilting piece of music
Good foot tapping song!
Ahhhhh, the good old days. It’s good to let things go and move on sometimes.
Yes, this is right up my alley.
Melancholy feeling drifting along through the haze.
Excellent!
Walking down memory lane this morning. This song becomes more appropriate every year that goes by.
I used to know this girl a long, Long, LONG time ago.
Great tone! Thanks for explaining it in the description.
Another sonic blast of great tone.
Oh ..... I like this.
Good tribute to a good friend.
A multi Instrumentalist? Can I have your autograph? This is a really nice song, even though there's a little hanky panky going on.
EXCELLENT! Reminds me of a blow up doll my friend once had. Everything you ever wanted.
I think there are a lot of us who are one step away from Russell’s situation.
