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.

There is no better lighter / slide :) Buy one, it could save your life.

Enjoy!
I've been trying to put another one of Mike's poems to music, but not getting anywhere.
Then jip threw this music at me, saying he hated it and asking if I could do anything with it. Pieces of Mike's poem went in and I sent it back to jip with…
Well, here we go then...

Had written this one many years ago. I had it recorded originally in a different key and with different instrumentation but it I just was not happy with it. I deleted the original lyrics for the chorus and added a bridge section and lyrics. I…

As I watch the party pass us by

Had to reload this one to get it to the top of my list. Just had news ezfolk Mp3 section is to close down :( Looks like I'm here to stay !!! I found alot of fellow musicians on that site, many who are here now, any way, here's to Ezfolk, au revoir…
you know they say you have to write some rubbish before the good stuff comes out?... Entirely Garageband, not a live instrument on it but it was clogging my head up.
Another one here for 1 week only. My daughter gets married in October & she wanted 'Their' song for their first dance at the reception played by me & sung by her husband. So I came up with this version. Now I need to learn the cello…
Excellent choice for *"Our Song"*. Your Daughter has good taste.
I'll bet there is a good chance that we're going to see a video somewhere around November 1st.
Well, here we go then...

I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as I’m onward bound,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
Refrain
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on Heaven’s table land,
A higher plane than I…
I was finally able to finish this one up over this past week. Like always I am never satisfied but I have come to a point where I just tell myself enuff is enuff and move on to the next song...pheww! Hopefully it sounds good on everyone elses…

A remix of this tune by a guy who really knows how to mix tracks proper...Andy found a producer type guy that liked this song but thought the mix was really bad...so I sent him all the individual tracks and this is what he came up with I think…
Seriously - seriously? Nah! this is a post modernistic approach to nothing. Drum machine, but all else played live. Including the voice. I'm on the telephone. I wasn't. Bit of a quiz included - what are these songs??? I'm on the telephone. I'm…

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,

Comments made by Greg Connor
I love it! Great driving bass line and ripping guitar lead. Just what I would expect from a Pub goer like yourself. *"Let's Go To The Pub"*
I never heard a Zippo sound so good. Nice piece of music.
Nice going Lady! The song is fresh and and lively. Great vocals as usual.
I Stopped back for another listen. I'm impressed how you can belt this song out!
I didn't expect the marimba, xylophone, whatever it was. Now you got my attention! That was fun!
Yes . . . This is a keeper! The bridge is a nice effect for resetting the song.
That organ really makes the song nice and light. Great touch. The song just bounces along.
Ah ... brings back memories of the *Good Old Days*
Delightful . . . .
Excellent choice for *"Our Song"*. Your Daughter has good taste. I'll bet there is a good chance that we're going to see a video somewhere around November 1st.
Andrew . . . You have found the *SWEET SPOT* Impressive playing, and the vocal track is outstanding.
Good One Terry!
Fresh and upbeat! Very nice listening.
Lost At Sea . . . *"Good Gawd"* . . . I'm going sailing this afternoon. Let's hope *Big Legged Woman* doesn't make us list to starboard or port.
Another old favorite of mine. Well sung my friend.
This is beautiful.
That really sounds goood. "Good Gawd" You are really something!
Great song! *"Serving coffee while men grab her behind"* You gotta love it when you hear that in a song! . . . . . & 44DD
Just the right amount of insanity. It makes me want to call someone.
That was fun! I pulled out the old harmonica and played along.
