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.

GOOD-BYE
I don't want to say good-bye
But I have to go
Catch the train that's heading West
Do another show
I don't want to make you cry

Give your weary head a rest
Carry on the day

A nice treat this morning. It's fresh and yet familiar at the same time. Good One!
OOOOOOH! I like this.
Nice vibe to this.
I just found this . . . Again. Good fun!
New beauty to an old classic
Such a contrast to my passive boring life. Listening to this, I realize there may still be a pulse in these old bones
Thanks Bethan for adding the *SPARKLE*
Stopped by for another listen to that Classic *GEM* sound. Well done my friend!
I think you might be the BIGGEST dog in the yard. Now . . . if you could only shake that shyness. Set those inhibitions free.
It's a tough choice, but I think this is my favorite of your three contributions to *PIE*
You have given this simple song the *"Thetworegs"* touch in spades. Well Done!
Still Good

*OMG* . . . I'm laughing out loud! I got tears in my eyes. You made my day!
Way to get your ELVIS on.
I remember this from the old *EZFolk* days. Still good.
Nice blend of acoustic and electric guitar sounds. You have a nice balance of space in the song too. *Beautiful*
Excellent song . . . Explaining a difficult circumstance.
*I Love It* Well done and unique artful expression. *Added to the Playlist:* http://alonetone.com/connor/playlists/cherry-pie
I'm laughing again this morning. You certainly have your own style!
