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.
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…

This is a little ditty I did for a local songwriting group I'm in. The prompt was "No instruments" and a previous prompt was "One chord only", so I combined the two.
The haikus were written for a creativity group I'm in, so I used them for…
I put up a wren house in the trees and garden where I was living and surprisingly a house wren moved in. Every day he sang his song in a repeating pattern ... a natural loop. I held a mic out the window one morning and taped his beautiful repetitive…

I thought I'd uploaded this ages ago!
Less chaotic 'Chaos' after I found a melody I was happy with, and the delay button :)
Enjoy! xox
P.S. I knew I'd seen it on here somewhere - it was uploaded by Jip under Third Quarter of the Moon :)
billy boy where did you go
sittin in a pile of snow
come on down its gettin cold
for the time is getting old
well we made our way to the old wigwam
frozen lake and wind was calm
standing bow did strike a deer
to feed the tribe…
Found a interesting sounding indian instrument via the computer world and strummed out chords on my lil midi guitar. Added some percussion, strings and a flute.
Another Live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen back in 1988 on the NPR show Mountain Stage. This time a piece of Gaelic mouth music followed by 3 reels. Maybe the most complex arrangement of a set of tunes that we ever did.
January challenge songwriting fun...
WATER UNDER WATER
So near the surface
So near the end
So near the purpose
Time and again
Just barely breathing
I’ll need you when
I’m floating in the water under water
Holding on loosely
Without letting…
I suspect Part 3 is coming soon. I enjoyed the originality of this story/song concept.
Fun to listen to.
I kept thinking of my niece, a young and budding actress. I could see her and her friends performing this on stage.
You might have a new career waiting for you . . . Playwrite.
this is my take on Joe Bonamassa's version of Blind Faith's "Had To Cry today"
a much shorter version...just wanted to record that cool lick and am trying to work on my vocals ... oh well ..what a time to try to learn to sing at my age...63 next…
Another quick scratch take, had to edit out a weird little noise from when the keyboard fell onto the guitar, but otherwise one take, render and upload. This will probably undergo a whole lot of revision to get a more usable center section and…
Any resemblance to the Yiddish word Chutzpah is of the purest intent. With a doff of the hat to Sheldon Alan "Shel" Silverstein ...and Mad magazine for all of their influences. that indeed did rot my brain
This song written by Mark Imsdahl..I found it over at Greg Connor's ...I liked it so much that I asked Greg and Mark if I could do an electric version of it and they agreed...i want to have Mark blow some harp on it when he gets back from vacation…
What happened after too much time on youtube watching live vids of "voodoo chile" Noisy obnoxious and very cathartic for me! Live to 2tracks with the Jamman
A complete re-vamp of a 6 year old song. Sure I wrote the lyrics while on holiday in Majorca, rewrote a couple of lines, picked up me ole guitar last week & just played this tune & it all seem to fit. Could need a lay down now !!!!

Oh yah! We,ll see about that .. Greg can be easilly delouted by Rosie. He is a fool for her sweat band.
Hi Greg! I came to listen to Brad New Day but the player seems to be on the fritz. I’ll give it another try soo n!
Nice song, you always make it look so easy. Really nice picking...
Hello , Greg good to hear
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
Very, very good, Greg,

That is really a cool sound.
Very interesting. I'm glad you explained the concept. Third listen . . . Pretty neat idea.
This just makes you feel good.
That's it Stan. I just added you to the people I follow. Keep them coming!
This one *really* caught me! What a great idea, and well executed. You have created something special here.
Great sound to drift along with. I like the tempo changes. Delightful.
This is one of the freshest original sounds I've heard recently. Well done. Second listen now. Billy Boy just draws you in.
Good for the Soul . . . Just like you said.
Nice song. I like the tones you got out of the guitar.
You really know how to deliver it. I love it.
Interesting sounds. Really captivating! And like *Breaking Light* says . . . Let's see the Belly Dancers!
Great way to start the morning!
Nice one Keith. I even dug out the headphones to take another listen. Great song writing! I just pulls you in.

Love It! You are the Master!
That's pretty neat
Good Story!
Oh Yeah . . . I get an instant smile when I listen to this. Over the top . . . The only way to go.
Not what I expected, but definitely fun to listen to.
I liked the early version, but that's just me.
