Great groove and lyric. This might be the best GC song I've heard. You have all your images working. A total success. Vocal, production...all fully realized.

Maybe I take that challenge. But my song would be about Patti Meadors who transferred to my school in the middle of my senior year and tho she ate lunch across the street at the elementary school cafeteria with me just a few times and then transferred away before the year was over I will never forget her and...we never had that first date.

Ah a taste of summer. Nice one Greg, catchy chorus and love the banjo.
Just as I am retiring and about to be more of a supportive listener, my account has been deleted. So it's Bee here Greg and consider this has been faved.
I recently retired and for the past 4 months I've been telling people "All that's left are the stories". There will be no more of the glamor and prestige.

Noodling with the "art guitar" in DADGAD tuning in the Serra sculpture Vortex at the FW MOMA. No fx added, all natural reverb/delay inside the structure.
IF THE SPIRIT MOVE YOU........... Oh, my Lord done just what he said
Let the light from the lighthouse shine on me
He healed the sick and he raised the dead
Let the light from the lighthouse shine on me
Shine on, let it…

New original from me, hot off the old wotsit.
When it was half written yesterday, I was considering binning it as a throwaway exercise - I do that quite often. But I played the songwriting demo to someone else and, er, apparently I should finish…
Found this little chappie while I was preparing my latest original for loading.
It was a quick demo recorded on my Boss Micro BR sometime in October or so last year (2011) while I was working on Shine.
It was a sort of "blow the cobwebs out…

Refreshing new sound. It's nice to hear an acoustic guitar, and the harmonies are really nice.
And the message . . . well . . . you old softy! Well done.
A bit of comic relief is good when you have some writers block. I had he song mapped out years before I recorded it. I need to record its companion "Won't you please squeeze my udder Farmer Joe?".
So MTC put out [this wonderfully sparse instrumental piece](http://alonetone.com/mtcband/tracks/shadow-of-myself) and a vocal line just jumped out at me. Then some harmonies jumped out as well.
The harmonies are fantastic, but it's the complete package that caught me.
It's as if you both knew the end result before you ever started.
Excellent . . . Just Excellent

From a few years back. Bill Pohl, Darrin Kobetich and I playing in the lounge at the Ridglea theater, in Fort Worth, Tx. Our first performance as "Strung, Drawn and Quartered". Notable because of my first use of live looping.

Third time through . . . I'm still laughing!
I hardly recognized the old gal from the lyrics I sent. She's all grown up now.
"Ronnie Cream Cheese" has a way of doing that to the ladies.
Destine to be a Classic.
You have created a very thought provoking song. Well done Terry!

Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
OMG! What great story telling... Now I know this never happened to you :-) :-) :-) Beautiful!!!
That story sounds familiar
you are the next Bob Dylan!!! love the song, has a Dylan flavor...Excellent
Ha! Another one discovers that you can use banjo AND squeezebox and get away with it!!
Hey there! This one is a real keeper. Love the imagery of your lyrics and your banjo / harmonica just gives it a sultry sound. Love it!!!!

Breezy, bittersweetness. Love the longing.

SKATING is another of my suicide songs. I must do a trip to your coffee table group sometime.
Man , you should be better talking about you then that. Ive heard a ton of stories from you and I faved them all
Great to hear you playing more electric!!! excellent solo, very melodic..... outstanding song, has a feel like Roger McGuinn and the Byrds love it
Maybe I take that challenge. But my song would be about Patti Meadors who transferred to my school in the middle of my senior year and tho she ate lunch across the street at the elementary school cafeteria with me just a few times and then transferred away before the year was over I will never forget her and...we never had that first date.

Sad song
Once again, great idea! The natural acoustics of the room really show off your guitar playing.
I may have set up the PA outside and play this for all the local canine. Then there would be some tail wagging for sure!
Beautiful What a great idea!
Great Message, and I like hearing that banjo.
Pretty acoustic sound. Very light and airy. I like the string bending too.
GOOD GAWD !!! Big Sound to fit the Big Legs. She must be a special gal.
Nice interpretation. This song brings back memories.
Different and interesting.
I think this is a masterpiece! You have captured the essence. My wife brings order to my chaos too, 36 years now.
Well played. After reading your notes I've decided to be nicer to you. Just kidding.
Refreshing new sound. It's nice to hear an acoustic guitar, and the harmonies are really nice. And the message . . . well . . . you old softy! Well done.
Refreshing. I like the sound of an acoustic guitar, and I really like the sound of acoustic and electric combined. Nice
I like the lead in and a little levity is always a good thing.
Suspenseful and Interesting. M O R E W I N E
The harmonies are fantastic, but it's the complete package that caught me. It's as if you both knew the end result before you ever started. Excellent . . . Just Excellent
I stopped by for my morning chuckle. I wonder if you have ever considered psychoanalysis?
Interesting music. You have some facinating sounds and textures going on here.
