And waves collide with the shore
The sailor must be watching
For gusting wind we can’t ignore
Loose the main, correct the healing
Point the bow to the wind
Recognize the peaceful feeling
In this sacred…

It’s like floating down a river
When you’re not quite in control
That river’s going to take you
Only where it wants to go
So you reach out with conviction
At debris along the way
That river’s going to take you
If you give up and say…
My wife Rita mentioned that she had not heard my dulcimer on any music recently, so I tuned it up and wrote First Morning Light. A little Low D Irish Whistle flavored it just a bit.

That guitar sound is amazing. How is this recorded. Every element is crystal clear. Your voice too. 'There's a row boat in the distance,,," So suggestive of more than meets the ear...
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…

Cool sounds and fabulous lyrics. Over the last few days I've been sharing this very message in various forms in various places... That's probably why I like it so much... And I've come across others saying the same thing... It might not be filtering through to the media (at least not the stuff I'm seeing/hearing)... but then it's not very news-worthy! ... But if there's a bunch of us ordinary people thinking and saying this and similar... then I'm feeling quite encouraged :)

Well, I'm almost on a roll now - this little love song was written, arranged, and recorded in just a week. I've been meaning to attempt something like this for years, just never got round to it.
I'd actually settled down to finally record a…
Greg let me have another go at one of his songs and I the wrote the words and music for a bridge
so that way he has to pay me some royalties when he sells a million !!! lol thanks Greg for your inspiration and great music!!
This is a song I wrote this week, trying to capture that strange emotion you sometimes feel during times of great milestones in your life - good things happening, changes, moving on. Joy and melancholy all at the same time. Everyone feels it…
You guys are on fire! Each of you has the thing to compliment the other.
Colleen, I was thinking of you over the weekend. Thinking about how far you have come musically since I met you last summer.
These last few songs have stopped me in my tracks. Very impressive!
Just a little something I've been tinkering with. Lyrics and Music from yours truly, Nick P
Am I fool to love you
Am I fool to love you
I'd drive 300 miles just to see your smile
Here I am, but you want that other man
Am I fool to love…
It is easy to mock and ridicule, but much harder to learn and understand. Overcoming our own pig-headedness may be our biggest personal challenge. This song thinks about that. I also was rather happy with how my Telecaster sounds in the rhythm…
Girls aren't like guitars.
They won't just sit around waiting for you to come up with something interesting to do
Girls aren't like guitars.
If you're having problems maybe it's because
Girls aren't like guitars

A new one...
I wrote it on 5th February, and managed to record it in less than a month (a head-cold and lack of hearing in one ear slowed the last lap somewhat).
But seeing as the last one took over 8 months, I think I'm already ahead for…

Bullseye!
An excellent example of the power of collaboration being greater than the sum of it's parts.
I love the simplicity, and that emotional tug.
This one really caught my attention, well done guys!
Update: Paul took the first version and made it even better. So impressed with his talents. Thanks everyone for your kind words on the original. I know you'll like this version even more!
I was listening to some of Paul Lennon's great…
This was a write it and record it in one session song challenge that my songwriting friends and I came up with this week. Lions and Lambs was started thinking of spring, but it turned into a song about relationships... as they often do.
Greg…
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...

Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
I agree with Ron... you’ve caught that Lighfoot spirit. An ode to the great Gitche Gami. So beautiful. An instant fav - legit
Love the box of tricks Ok sailor you did it you turned time around. Jibe oh matey
I like this a lot..has a Gordon Lightfoot feel to it...also maybe a little Irish folk sound as well...Excellent
LOVE those sounds.
That guitar sounds great Very nice, full mix Good vocals too Good one! KC
Beautiful. "And the fragrance of the Summer lingers on the scent of the morning dew."
That guitar sound is amazing. How is this recorded. Every element is crystal clear. Your voice too. 'There's a row boat in the distance,,," So suggestive of more than meets the ear...
Straight out of Mayberry RFD. Great picture song.
Mode ?? Marvellous Greg , you have this fantastic knack of writing a song that you just have to listen too ... then Love ... then listen to again ... and love again ... simple isn't it ... NO ?!?!?

Wow! I just love the message of this one. You are amazing!!!
Love the lyrics and the guitar sounds great...playing and tone! one of your best chorus's
I likes it more with each listen

Thanks to Rita for the lovely suggestion. I've never heard you play the dulcimer. These lyrics are so lovely... Beautiful all around
Wonderful Greg, wonderful ....

*I'm reaching for my harmonica to play along! Yep, key of E I'm forwarding this over to a friend. We'll be tooting along in Minnesota*
Oh, that's sweet! I love it!
Great song with wonderful imagery.
Over the top! The only way to start the day!
Kicking Ass again this morning!

I like this one Nick!
Walking on the edge again I see! A little envy here . . . I'm only a spectator now.
You can really get some nice tone out of your guitar!
My feet are tapping! Nice tone on that guitar, and interesting message.
You got me laughing this morning!
Nice imagery / Story telling.
Ah the early 80's . . . .
Bullseye! An excellent example of the power of collaboration being greater than the sum of it's parts. I love the simplicity, and that emotional tug. This one really caught my attention, well done guys!
Oh this is good. The banjo effect was a pleasant surprise and the harmonica was the perfect accent. Bethan, as always you brought it home!
Ah . . . It's this song that Paul remixed. It has a little more reverb on your voice. It mixes with the music perfectly.
Is this the song that Paul remixed? It sounds good.
I had to stop by for another listen . . . DAMN !!!
Excellent . . . It's like this music was made for your lyrics. Great lyrics Colleen Nice music Paul!
Great Harmonica accent. You guys should get some leather pants and go on tour!
