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…

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.

Be you for you and shout it loud, shout it proud, yeah
See your big dream

@ 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'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
Nice tune, Greg. "All I got left is your lousy cat." Great description of a cat.
Ahhhh .... a walk down memory lane this morning!
Beautiful - tender, atmospheric. Loving that whistle also - gorgeous touch!
Brought a smile! Very clever - and so true!
Wonderful collaboration!
Oh, I really really, really, like this one :)
When will we be able to meet and enjoy each other again
Ho Ho Ho ......
Oops that last comment was me... forgot to sign in. Merry Christmas!
That’s it exactly! Love those reindeer bells too
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 ..... : )

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.
