We posted the lyrics and featured the chords, just in case you wanted to write your own lyrics and post them with this idea.
Empty Bottles…
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…

When there’s C snow on the G pumpkins
Autumn leaves have all D gone
And the C geese are all G flying
Cause it’s time to move D on
When there’s C snow on the G pumpkins
We’ll sit by the Em fire
We’ll C talk about our dreams, our D hope…

Sorry, your song just reminded me that I tell that to Suzanne every fall!!....seriously though, another great tune from you, love what you are playing in the background.

A song about people who've been in and moved on in our life - maybe a lullaby of sorts... thanks for listening to my latest.
If Ever Oh Ever
If ever oh ever
I could find you again
we’d jump in the water and

Just finished running sound for the Second Act Players’ production of "Finding Gladys" and enjoyed putting together original music to use for a theme, a soap opera, and scene changes. The song 'Getting To Know You' from the musical "The King And…
Ok, not the best thing I've done, but it seems that 1/ It has become a chore to even pick up my guitar. 2/ And to go and record. Old age getting to me ?!?!?!
Phew! Song 10 of my RPM 2024 done. Well, this is more of an experimental piece...I threw a bit of everything in...prophet synth, electric guitar, and even some crowd noise (I loved it when Bjork did that so...). The power cutout just as I was…
First Day of the 2024 RPM challenge .... so here is Song 1
I'm experimenting with my old analogue synth (Prophet 6) this year
Thanks to anyone who listens! A gloomy song for gloomy times. Onward!
One day
You’ll find
It’s over, it’s over…
It’s fun to find you again for RPM. It’s like coming across an old friend. I’ve listened to your first three RPM entries. I’m noticing a theme and you are off to a great start. Good luck/Have Fun.
It's now 12:00 am....so Song 2 for RPM is as done as it will be!
In this tune I'm experimenting with vocal layering and using my analogue synth (my guitar and piano are giving me the skunk-eye). Thanks again for anyone listening out there…
3rd Song for RPM. Getting this done was filled with late night torture.
You tried so hard
You tried so hard
But you’re not there
You’re not there
You’re not there
You’re not there
You made your way
Oh you made your way

Another Minnesota Coffee Table Song! Written and recorded “live” in one evening.
Memories: Written and performed by John Bennet, Joe Passofaro, Mark Lofgren, Colleen Dillon & Greg Connor. Listen to Minnesota Homebrew Radio w/ Carl Unbehaun…
After Greg Connor wrote this for me a while back, I kept listening to it every time I was feeling tired of winter, which at this time of year is several times a day. Somehow every time I listened to it, it reminded me of my dad. I know he would…
Uploaded just in time for the 2013 peak of the Perseid meteor showers of 2013, which I definitely won't see, as our autumnal "maritime" (i.e. sh**ty) climate is doing its thing.
This is my arrangement of a wonderful romantic tune by the inimitable…
Oh Carl, this is a real gem! You caught me with the “walking the ditches for road kill”. That’s poetry!
Oohhhh, I just heard the “cousins” part.
OUTSTANDING!
Who needs a DAW anyway? The recording is me pressing foot switches for looper memory location number nine; guitars were recorded thru my pedalboard's various effects into my Boss RC-500.
Sometimes writing a song is the very best and only thing you can do....
Cold Winter Moon
Oh cold winter moon
And the wind that blows
Bring me a change
For my weary soul
Take away this longing
That fills my heart
Something is over…

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 ..... : )
"When the snow is on the pumpkin it's time for dicky dunkin" Sorry, your song just reminded me that I tell that to Suzanne every fall!!....seriously though, another great tune from you, love what you are playing in the background.
Simply lovely!
Back for a second listen..... and about my earlier question that you gave me options for: I think it was RITA!!!!
I'm so glad you put this playlist together! What a great story.... Love that last line! Hilarious...

Beautiful song! Another Dillon classic
This is fun! We’ll done my friend
It’s a foot tapper! Nice one Roger.
That’s a great sound.
Good Stuff!
Congratulations … another RPM success! Your music has a very unique quality to it. Very refreshing.
It’s fun to find you again for RPM. It’s like coming across an old friend. I’ve listened to your first three RPM entries. I’m noticing a theme and you are off to a great start. Good luck/Have Fun.
Stretching the boundaries. Minimal instrumentation carried by a heavy drum groove. It sounds good!
Interesting sound of drum and vocal. It’s a real toe tapper.
Aahhhh, the good old days. That was fun!
You are the man.
I stopped by for a listen this morning. Hope you’re doing well
It’s always some guy named “Roger”
Great lyrics …. Again
I might come back for the BBQ. Interesting subject matter and a little unexpected.
You got the gift. Another excellent song.
Oh Carl, this is a real gem! You caught me with the “walking the ditches for road kill”. That’s poetry! Oohhhh, I just heard the “cousins” part. OUTSTANDING!
Pretty cool. This might make a nice backing track for a video.
I stopped by for another listen! Magnificent!
Oh Man … that is beautiful. What a masterpiece! I love the Irish influence and the powerful lyrics. O U T S T A N D I N G
