Written for the January Song Writing Challenge put forth by Carl Unbehaun on Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show. "Write about something new".
Inspired in part by the disruption caused by the Government Shutdown.
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.

Neat Song Greg. I like the way you blended the recording - Guitar - Great Voice - Harmonica. I did not realize you were a song writer along with all of the other talents.
The circling of life
The ability to find your way
Like a compass in the night
And the coming of another day
It’s like when the stars align
You’ve been given just a glimpse of truth
And you think that you might find
The Optimism held in…
This song is the result of exchanging "One Line Zingers" with my friend Tom last Saturday while playing a little music.
He challenged me to write a song about him and he would do the same at my expense.
The funiest song wins.

This is my first collaboration with the talented SLKrell! He had a reggae song called "Rancho Raggae" posted a couple of weeks ago in need of a lyric, so I asked If I could write some for it, and poof whala!! Here it is! Thanks Slkrell for the…

SINCE I'VE BEEN LOVING YOU
Since I've been loving
You've made me smile
Since I've been loving
Youve made Everything worth while
Since I've been loving
I've been on such a high
Now please help me not…
We decided to share one more piece of cherry pie! Thanks Greg Connor for this now epic song. Thanks to Paul for his beautiful music. Always a ton of fun to collaborate with!!!

*GREAT Fresh Approach*
I love it! The vocal on this is top notch, and the accompaniment is right there with it.
Oops . . . . I pressed *REPLAY* again.
If I'm not mistaken, this is Paul's 4th time around recreating this song . . . . That just tickles me!
This was a song I wrote last year, and haven't recorded until last night. We had a jam session at my place, so you'll hear some folks you know on this live recording.. Feels like a old time sing-a-long as I listened again this morning.

My favorite song by Jane Bowers
She was still alive back when I 1st learned
this song from the Kingston Trio.
I didn't know, back then, that I could have met her.
WHEN I WAS YOUNG by Jane Bowers
When I was young and dreams were new…
Thank you Greg Connor for putting his wonderful harmonica on this song. Enjoy!!
My little steam train
Rolling down the tracks
My little steam train
Going to take me back
All aboard!
The conductor shouts
Hear that horn blow
Hear…
This is a *GREAT* song Nick !!! You have captured the essence perfectly.
And even though I have told my wife repeatedly that the song is about a Train . . . well, let's just say she's on to you.
a little bit of blues....live in the living room at the end perfect timing the wife opens the door ans says See you later.........
my baby’s gone and i don’t know what to do
my baby’s left me, she left me cold that is true
she gone and left…
I wasn't going to post this - it's the original demo that the finished version is based on. This is the same lead vocal and resonator part that's on the full version - no EQ or anything, just the naked tracks. There's two bars of silence before…
One of my better Psych Folk recordings. Intro voice and keyboards by Starry Nightmoth. BG rhythm/drums generated using a Yamaha E313 KB. Lyrics, music and all other instruments and vocals are my fault.
BEHOLD THE BREAD (Unleavened)

Here's a clip from a new folk single I just released. You can hear the whole song in the video below, or on the song page on my website.
This features 2 instruments people love to hate: banjo and accordion (in this case, melodeon). But both…

Guitar sounds great...solid tone and playing.....your vocals keep getting better and better outstanding
Really like this Greg, top tune mate.
Love it - from the autumnal flavours to the crisp guitar hook. Very cool.
Sounds great...your right been a while, but worth the wait!! this is more pop sounding then most of your work..I like the feel and arrangement

Comments made by Greg Connor
I love how your voice comes in, nice and low. And . . . then the build up. Well done!
nicely done
*BEAUTIFUL MUSIC GUYS* This is some articulate music with the perfect vocal track blended in.
Nothing better than a visual image of a *Tattoo'd Lady*
Your voice fits this type of song perfectly. You have the ability to really belt it out.
Yep . . . this is a keeper! Nice going guys!
*GREAT Fresh Approach* I love it! The vocal on this is top notch, and the accompaniment is right there with it. Oops . . . . I pressed *REPLAY* again. If I'm not mistaken, this is Paul's 4th time around recreating this song . . . . That just tickles me!
This really got my old heart pumping this morning!
Yes, this is good . . . and what a great message!
This is *VERY* Pretty! Nice song writing Colleen! It's amazing that we can create something like this with only 2 bottles of wine!
This song has that *"Relax and let it wash over you"* feeling. Well done James
Interesting . . . Now what could we do with it?
W O W ! Now I understand all of the previous comments!
Very Pretty. I think you have one of those "soft centers" that you always hear about the tough talkers showing occasionally.
This is a *GREAT* song Nick !!! You have captured the essence perfectly. And even though I have told my wife repeatedly that the song is about a Train . . . well, let's just say she's on to you.
You can *REALLY* belt it out! I'm with Roger . . . I'm smiling!
A nice easy feel to this. Just what you'd expect from a *"fine looking woman"*
Raw talent is what this shows.
This might be one of my favorite *Gene Eric Man* songs.
Beautiful song! I love the video. I got a kick out of your comment regarding banjo and accordion.
