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.

A new original from me. Another one-voice, one-guitar, "live" performance in my broom-cupboard. This time it's the good ole tin guitar.
I wrote this one in 2002 during the "dark years" lol. I've ummed and aahed over the years on whether to…
Most of the lyrics written in 1999, a tough year. Many thanks to JB for his awesome screaming lead playing (done first take, I should add!!!) and to LadyJane for supplying some oooo's. (anyone needing some vocals - send her your song!)
Dusted off (so to speak) a bluegrass style oldie (meaning I wrote years and years ago) about the ending of a long drought... dedicated to all my friends, known and unknown, in Colorado and other dry spots that are burnin' up right now.

Hi Mark,
That was a lot of fun! I think your Harp playing sounds great!
Yes "Cause a Bull Dog to Hug A Hound" sounds like it might fit right into your next masterpiece.
Let's do it.
A long time ago (high school, actually) I went to a dance and witnessed a girl trying to catch the attention of a boy. The memory inspired this song.
Enjoy.

Sometimes Boys/Men are clueless, myself included. Maybe that's why women have been shaping us for centuries.
Good way to put the phenomenon into words ER.
Garn/Landry (And I barely deserve any credit for this one at all)
A while back, Jim recorded a rough version of this song, and upon listening to it, I was thrown back to a day from my youth. While vacationing in Vermont, a small twister throwing…
I had a basic melody and fragments of the words swirling around my head in the last few days ... so I sat down and made a song out if ... it took several rounds of playing to figure out how to present this, being part 5/4 and part 4/4 ... I finally…

You say
I doesn’t matter what I say
All the time we spent is gone now
Taken out
You cry
I'm not even asking why
Your head's up in the sky now
Your alive
When I ask you to explain…
A more cheerful version of The Mouse. JB and I thought the other a bit mournful - when we wrote it we were thinking of a reggae version...so this is it.
The last one for the day....what can i say it had to be done.....
Broken Dreams(Lyrics)
We’ve all had dreams broken
we’ve all wanted the absurd
i dream of being loved again
to hold and not let go
i’ve been waiting for a long time
to try and…
Well the story continues...Munga is back and after his wife and Sweet Ronnie....they ran off to Jamaica and Munga is not a happy camper

Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
Fun tune!! love you doing the harmony part with yourself......
Great harmonies!
Gotta love that coffee table! Love the breeziness here - fabulous, bittersweet track. Music and voices sounding ace as ever.
I'm going to be humming this all afternoon.
Bloody birds! They do it every time.
Great lyrics...funny too...this sounds like I could hear it on Sesame Street!!! mix sounds amazing
Ah, so true...at timed. :)
You are so funny! Is this street nearby in Savage? And I love the Thoreau reference. Some killer lyrics throughout. Yay!
How did I miss this one? Great song. Your voice is awesome.
Another great song. such fun. Mom
Nice vocal, Colleen.
Yay!!!! That was a great time together. I love this song so much!!!!
Oh yeah...full band recording!!.... vocals are outstanding, really nice live mix ....
Big clean transparent sound. Wish I knew how you do it. (Good blues tune too!)
Well done, Greg. Never retire from playing your wonderful music.
Nice job, Greg!!
Yummy ,Southern Fried
Congratulations on the CD
Great tune! has a real southern feel...that "Black Water" groove by the Doobie Brothers another outstanding job all around!!
Now that's how to write a tune. The second verse was perfect....... If we I get to sing this one together ,I got dibs on that second verse.

I'll bet you get somebody's creative juices flowing. These last couple tracks are inspiring!
Something about this one Roger! Nice job on this one! Good message too. Just curious . . . How do you know Andrew's wife?
Inspiring! It will be fun to see what becomes of the "Plunger" when it's all grown up.
Good strong voice on this one! I have always liked this song.
This kind of guitar playing really gets me going. Nice job. I like that notion of optimism right around the corner . . . but not quite here yet.
Wonderful lyrics. I'm laughing out loud. Nice catchy music too.
I like this a lot! Nice flat picking, great upbeat melody and lots of character. Great interplay between banjo, guitar, and slide guitar.

Nice singing / Nice Playing
Great way to build a song. . . Keep them coming!
Beautiful. It's as if the experience of flying is at hand.
Nice guitar sound.
I like it. The song has a subtle power that keeps building.
That's pretty good. If all else fails . . . Make Friends. I love it!
Very refreshing presentation. I like the message "All I needs is love". Reminds me of one of my heros . . . Tom Waites.
Entertaining and VERY Unexpected.
you got me laughing out loud on this one. Very colorful lyrics.
Munga may be back, but my vote is for "Sweet Ronnie" Go get em Tiger!
Beautiful
