Hey Colleen, you asked "Who did the scary cries????"
There are two theories:
1. It's Rita calling me for dinner.
2. It's my world famous Elk Rut recordings that I usually play every Halloween.

I think these challenges are so expanding ,I sat back and followed the the progression carefully.
Then to hear what you did with this unusual thread ,the lyrics made it all seem so natural.
I am impressed. More please

I thought I'd share this studio version with everyone of a song that Greg Connor, Scott Zosel and I wrote and had posted here earlier as a rough coffee table cut. In this studio version, you'll hear Greg on guitars and vocals, and we added live…

I wrote this song while watching a beautiful snowfall a couple of winters ago - right after the 2016 election. I was feeling a lot of emotions at the time, and writing this one helped out.
I decided to record it in the studio, and we're almost…

This is the first time I have played in drop D
this is a Springsteen song that he borrowed the title from a Pete Seeger song..and I like the way Warren Haynes plays it live...so here is my humble attempt at it...
I have always loved this poem by Robert Frost.
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods…
Ahoy, shipmates, it's that there time of year again, when yer ready to hang over the lee rail on account of all them insipid Christmas songs they've been blatting at you everywhere you turn ever since Halloween, if not before.
Well, I've got…

Merry Christmas! I hope you make bail.

COLORS - For Donna
Roses are red. Violets are blue

Roses are red. Tulips are too
But I could never name all the colors that look good on you

The pages of the book were leaking into the dream
Wading through waters of time, an unconscious stream
Eyes begin to flicker, getting heavier with sleep
Takes you by force into the deep

I'm invited to play at Moscow's Banjofest next month. I decided to do a clawhammer banjo set, as nobody much is playing that style over here. I'm recording backing tracks so I can play the tunes with a virtual band, and this mix of this old traditional…
Well this one marked the beginning of better songs as the last few I wrote really didn't please me or anyone so they went to the heap before ever making it here!!!

Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
I'm so glad you put this playlist together! What a great story.... Love that last line! Hilarious...
And this... woah, mighty fine... and the Elk Rut noises... yep SCARY!
Missed this. Fabulous.
Good job here it was hair raising spooky
Oh my the lightning got you, same thing happened to me
Scared the pants off me .... I ain't going into those woods ....
Hey Colleen, you asked "Who did the scary cries????" There are two theories: 1. It's Rita calling me for dinner. 2. It's my world famous Elk Rut recordings that I usually play every Halloween.
I don't know how you do it. A deep well - your story telling skills.... Love this one!!! Who did the scary cries?????
Fun!! love the sound effects....neat story and a catchy chorus!!!
great lyrics and well played sung and recorded very much enjoyed! KC
Was there a minor chord in there, I may have effected you, drew you closer to the dark side
Now .... can this be classed as a song about Rita ?? or is it about your car ??? As always Greg .... good stuff.
Cool! really dig the vibe here, good playing and singing! Always love songs about cars and driving :-) keep on cruising ! KC
Cool song, i dig the harmonica and all the instruments sound fine together. I thought it would be about a guitar when i clicked though :)
So many good stories in that brain of yours!! Love this. Especially fun to think of you driving around with Rita in that Mustang... and clean up the backseat would ya!
ha ha love it...reminds me of my first car.. a brand new 69 rally green Camaro that I got in the fall of 1968 great lyrics!!
Another cracker Greg ....
Awww... fabulous. This has got the dulcimer on it too? I love the textures you create with this and the guitar. And the song... gorgeous.
I think these challenges are so expanding ,I sat back and followed the the progression carefully. Then to hear what you did with this unusual thread ,the lyrics made it all seem so natural. I am impressed. More please
Absolutely beautiful! Such delicate finger picking so perfectly matches the lyrics. A masterpiece.!!!!

I love it! Let's keep them all honest. We have a few "TALL TALE TELLERS" in our midst right now.

Nice fresh sound. I love the tremolo. Been a long time, it's fun to hear a new one.
Heavy message, well written glimps of reality.

Yes, this song is filled with optimism and hope. You pointed us in the right direction!
Reminds me of my "YOOT". Sounds like a fun experiment.
Wow . . . Heavy but extremely interesting
That sounded fantastic! it would be fun to see your whole performance.
This is a wonderful song! It will be fun to hear it on "Minnesota HomeBrew" next Thursday. Our little coffee table sessions are a lot of fun!
