Lemonade is an instrumental. It started as an early version of a co-written song with Mary Kealy Falk. We eventually settled on the 4th version of the project.
I just couldn't let this version go without doing something with it. It's the…

You C feel it Em inside

There’s Am nothing that G you can C do
F Hold on to G memories…

I've been messing with Jip's Gong Bong! Enjoy :o)
Do what you do, do it for you
Make your imaginings come true
Follow your dreams and not the crowd
Be you for you and shout it loud, shout it proud, yeah
See your big dream
Show your true self…
Finally, finished this one. Its been a battle finding time and fending off a few bouts with allergies and colds etc...A very windy winter and early spring season in the desert was one of the worst in many years. Hoping to get to working on some…
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…
@ Mark Imsdahl . . . .
I knew there was another verse to this song.
Just for everyone's information, Mark was with me last Friday when we went to meet Steve Krell at the airport.
Breakfast became quite entertaining. Ernest hit us with everything he had, and in the end became our friend . . . well . . . maybe not Steve's friend.
THE WALK
I drove 400 miles that night
East of Dallas to Abilene
And the hopes that I held in my headlights
Were hopes like I'd never seen
She called me from work that afternoon
She said she'd be off about 2 AM
Said it would be nice…
I got myself a little bargin off ebay a Zoom GFX-707 £25 and have been playing around with the effects ....here's a tone i like so of course i tried to mould something to it ...i feel i've made a bit of a breakthrough with teaching myself the…

I'm laughing out loud. You have some serious *ATTITUDE* going here!
I love it. Great Riffs, Great Tone and I think I even heard those testicles clanging in the wind.

Where this came from, I've no idea !!!! Had the music track recorded, no lyrics, then had the first verse. The rest was wrote on the hoof, as I recorded the vocal. Plus I'm a non-believer, Oh well, Have Mercy !!!
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
I hear ya, Buddy... but that guitar has incredible presence. (pyropool@earthlink.net)
Another good one from Greg!
i think this is going to be an earworm for the next many days indeed
as they say... "Damn you're good!!!" another masterpiece. I love the lyrics and that haunting picking on the lead parts... and the Greg harmonies!!! Fabulous indeed
I know what it is like when things don't work out the way you planned a fine song! enjoyed it KC
May have been a while but this is another outstanding track!! Great feel and excellent vocals
This is pretty
That's really good Greg ..... hope you had a kilt on when you did it ....... and was there anything on under it ...... ; ) ; )
Just listening again to this and it's so beautiful! You should send it to the Thistle and Shamrock radio show for celtic music! Gorgeous all around!!
Very sweet!
Very nice work here!
I like it!! beautiful mandolin...nice to hear an instrumental from you!!
This is so pretty!!! I’m glad you kept this version indeed.
Nice simple piece. Like it.
Nice one Greg

Comments made by Greg Connor
*K A Z O O* . . . .YAHOO !!! I LOVE THE CHORD CHANGES TOO!
I like the beat. Good supporting instrumentation too. Very tight. Lady . . . you hit the bullseye again with the vocals. Hat's off to both of you!
12 String? Very nice. *This Time Around* has a good feel to it. You got a winner here James!

Harpsichord ??? Very nice.
I stopped by for another listen this morning. Good song!
WOW ...... I like this. Nice picking. The guitar tracks sound fantastic!
Very playful, and I like the story about the Zoom Effects.
ODDLY CAPTIVATING. WELL DONE
Quick fingers on the guitar. Driving beat and great vocal. The bass brings it all together.
Oh ....... That's good . I like all textures.
Sad topic but a very pretty song
Very Pretty.
A Very touching tribute to your friend. I like the simplicity of it, and the later addition to the piano. Well done . . . This is first class!
I'm laughing out loud. You have some serious *ATTITUDE* going here! I love it. Great Riffs, Great Tone and I think I even heard those testicles clanging in the wind.
I feel like I was there with you. I like the modulation when you were in the rut. So . . . . Was it Worth the trip?
You got ATTITUDE ON TOP OF ATTITUDE. I Love It!
Beautiful music!
Nice song . . . very powerful.
Top Shelf my friend. You hit the mark with this one! The harmonica is a nice touch.
