Here is an old song with a brand new wash and shine. Recorded today. It's a song about a fictitious girlfriend that Steve Krell created and . . . well . . . I just couldn't help but steal her away from him. In fact we both stole and lost her…

Love it intro is great, especially when Colleen says we are in Greg's recording studio!! (can I book a few hours?) outstanding song and great vocals all around, sweet harmonies!! I can't believe how good a sound you get recording live at the coffee table...no phones ringing, no dogs barking, no one yelling "turn it down"....ha ha........ I name this band LoDillCo
It's been a long time. Too many distractions and not enough time, or even focus to play lately.
Somehow this song, "Higher Ground" squeaked out from some hidden place.
Next in the little pile of songs from the shoe-box. This one has the date 27th January 1994 written on it, but it's describing an episode from many years earlier when I was, I'm guessing, something like 12 or 13 years old.
I had to go to a…
I should be working . . . but . . . I just had to take another pass through your video again.

New song By Andy & Ron
Andy: Lyrics
Ron: music and lyrics, all guitars, bass and vocals.
About an aging rocker who thinks he can still impress the ladies!!!
Lyrics
Verse 1
I knew I was a rocker in my groovy leather pants
I looked at all…
I see your mind is going *"full speed ahead"*
Who would have thought that success with the ladies was all predicated on "Groovy Leather Pants". I think I better go get a a pair.
Nice guitar play too, by the way!
I'd been following the Euro horsemeat scandal since it broke in the UK some time ago. But the songwriter in me didn't react until Ikea found pony in their Swedish meatballs the other day.
Alonetoners - you're hearing it first!
** THE PONY…
Simple this one & new !!! Reuben Paul Harris born on this date to my Son & his good Wife. The blood line lives on for another generation !!!!
That's my Boy !!!
Love it, Love it.
Light & Bouncy. The ending is particularly touching. It sounded like the third generation weighing in.
Overall fantastic presentation.
Honest Man
-
I went down to the riverside
Way on down where the water's deep and wide
I stripped right down to my naked skin
I jumped in the river and hoped I'd learn to swim
Cause I knew the river would take me
or I'd learn
And whether I live…
January Town
-
With the snow coming down
in this January town
how could I not think of you
Oh the words that you said
still echo in my head:
When one dies one is born anew
In the parking lot of the graveyard
a stranger walked up to me
he said…
Second song by Martin Fox
Was on a Pete Townshend kick lately. this one came to me as i was listening to the random recordings on my phone. still not happy with the vocal mix. we spent a lot of time tweaking too.
My attempt at writing a bluegrass tune and an opportunity to try my hand at some flat pickin'
... loosely based on a friends experiences growing up in a small town in the prairies ... where everything is flat ... you know, a place where you can…
dedicated to our "cold hearted orb that rules the night",, bassoon and french horn exchange glances with one another, cross a web of strings with a little timpani,in for the flavor,,, i have been trying to figure a bassoon into my work, so here…
a small quiet piece for a Sunday evening,, all four string sections are present here,, violin, viola,cello and contrabass,,it's kind of fun to try to mix, and pass the various themes around,,
Country/Folk with just my acoustic guitar and my voice. An ode to my home state, North Dakota. This is a rough draft. Any helpful criticism is welcome.
My Brother lives in Bismarck. I think they'll bury him there too. It's his garden of eden for hunting and fishing.
You did a great job capturing the sentiment.

I laughing out loud.
I wish I could fave this more than once. If this song had antlers, I would suggest you mount it on the wall. It's a REAL trophy!
Please excuse me while I "PRESS PLAY" again.
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
wonderful folk song, full of images that somehow take me off the range as well. Much enjoyed.
Congrats on being able to retire. I probably never will. You got much more than stories left, sir. You got songs!
Great lyrics....and of course outstanding singing & playing...reminds me a little of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Boy you sure can write a good one!!!! Another masterpiece! Thanks for sharing the song challenge too!!!
Okay. Seriously!!! You are just amazing. This is wonderful. I hear that Beatles influence for sure. Love the lyrics. My guitar and my thoughts are once again friends - killer!!!

Nice use of 12-string acoustic.
WOW!! as a huge Beatles and George fan I love this...great job getting the feel and sound of the Beatles.. guitars have that 60's sound...most excellent..... reminds me a little of Norwegian Wood and your voice has a little Tom Petty sound.....love it love it love it...can't say enough good things about this tune!!!!!!

Delightful lilting song
Beautiful. A great tribute to your friend. Sounds like open tuning . . . my favorite!
Great guitar sounds and That's the way to belt out a song! Excellent
I see your mind is going *"full speed ahead"* Who would have thought that success with the ladies was all predicated on "Groovy Leather Pants". I think I better go get a a pair. Nice guitar play too, by the way!
I had to saddle up for another listen this morning. Well done!
A good depiction of the self employed musician.
Let's Celebrate! Congratulations Roger!

I love it!
Great lyrics, and nice song writing!
I like how this bounces along.
Oh Yeah! I'm hungry for more now.
Me and My Kin like your song Big Much. Oops, I pushed the "play" button again. First Rate Stan !!!!
I love it, and I can definitely relate to it. This is getting to be a long winter. It's nice to hear a mandolin around here.
You are really creating yourself an RPM Challenge masterpiece. It's another beautiful contribution.
I thought I heard a little Aaron Copland in there. It's beautiful

Nice chop in this one. I was looking over my shoulder for Bob Marley.
