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

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…

When you C reach the Em point
When it’s F all in the rear view C mirror
And Am reflection is your G only point of C view G
You C feel it Em inside
When it F becomes so C clear
There’s Am nothing that G you can C do
F Hold on to G memories…

This is my contribution to the Song Writing Challenge: Write a song about "First Date".
Written for Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show / Pioneer Radio 90.1 Thief River Falls.
I was going to put this on here tomorrow morning but knowing i'll be dead to the world i thorght i'd better put it on now before i get started ha ha ha!
I usually play bottleneck Dobro in Open D tuning.
This is much more melodic than that old Dobro screaching away like a couple of crows on a fencepost.
I pulled out my Low D Irish whistle and played along with you this morning.
Very nice music Paul.
A sweet little song by a grandma lady from out west "Melvina Reynolds" bless her heart and excuse the language, Smile don't mind failing in this world,
I don't mind failing in this world,
Don't mind wearing the ragged…
I wrote this song after reading the book, Immanuel's Veins by Ted Dekker. At the end of the story the main character recalls the first verse of a hymn. I looked it up on the internet and learned that it is a hymn by an Englishman, William Cowper…
This was the first in this set of 3 songs I am posting. I was gaining alot of inspiration from the likes, of Justin Currie and Jackson Browne at the time.
Recorded using Reaper DAW & Jamstix virtual drummer software.
This is an ode for a good friend of mine that had took his own life at the end of last year. I was in the midst of writing some other songs and it stopped me in my tracks. I just wrote basically how I felt about this tragic ending to a very special…
(Em) A legend that the sailors told
Tales shared from long ago
(C) Secrets that are captured in the (Em) air
(Em) It comes to you from far way
Whispered roars that fade away
(C) Answers that are carried on the (Em) breeze
Only (C) heard…
Forgot I had this one, till it popped up on my Ipod on the way to work this week. I thought,'I know that song !!??!!' Can't help it, it comes with age !!!!
This is a remix of this song.
It was recorded in 2010, and I was in a hurry to post it elsewhere because I'm so fond of the song itself. But I've always hated the old mix - I lost the essence of the guitars and choirs during mastering because…

Such a heavy song and so well produced. I pushed the replay button twice so far.
The lyrical message is facinating.
The imagery just doesn't stop. In fact it suggests that I look around the corners.
The melodic presentation is very captivating.
Nice presentation Andrew!
They say we're dangerous, that we never really cared.
That we're selfish, we're blind, and pessimistic.
But I'm not wired for disaster, I'm not broken at the seams.
Alas, I've been watching them, rip away from me.
Digest my insides, they are…
I'm lacing up my shoes.
I always knew that walking was good for you, but when you're headed for somewhere like the Pub, well . . . that's like getting two rewards in one.
Nice toe tapper!
First new one from me in a long time.
Kind of a love song, I guess.
Recorded in my new "studio" (3rd bedroom in the new house). Almost up and running now... shine and don't stop wondering!

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!!

Good Lyrics, and good stomping music. I like the whistling.
I remember those days. Let's hope,at least in my case, the morning after stays a distant memory. Good foot stomper!

This really trucks along. I really enjoyed the bass line.
Well Said / Good Message It reminds me of a specific SOB. I had the misfortune of crossing his path.
That was Fun!

I feel like I just found a quarter on the sidewalk. What a great find. Thanks for making my morning.
"Afterall" has a great swing to it. You really put this one together well.
Nice tribute to an old friend.
@Richard L. Aceves. Thanks for asking. The instrumental break is a High D and a Low D Irish Whistle.
Sounds like a great summer road trip song. " Let's Go"

I don't listen to Travis, but I would listen to this again. Valerie doesn't know what she's missing.
Sounds even more mystical and dark. I'm enjoying the evolution. It's a little like Darwin.
Beautiful songs, this one included. Your lyrics have a depth to them, engaging, and thought provoking. Very easy listening, and enjoyable.
You really have the licks! I love it! It's been HOT here too. Maybe if I stand out in the Sun, I'll be able to play the guitar like you.
I'm lacing up my shoes. I always knew that walking was good for you, but when you're headed for somewhere like the Pub, well . . . that's like getting two rewards in one. Nice toe tapper!
Don't know how I missed this one. I'll second Tess' comment, WOW.... "Shine" hits the mark!
Great song for walking down the isle.
