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.

Uploaded just in time for the American Thanksgiving holiday, this is a kids song that can also be appreciated by the grownup crowd.
Written by my brother David who has a real knack for this sort of songwriting. It's our first long-distance…
This is an instrumental, really 2 songs. The 1st part is funky with Tom Pecard on sax. The 2nd part is a carnival, polka thing inspired by Wisconsin. Hope you dig it.
addressing the dividing disparity. in earnings, this one is based roughly on "railroading on the great divide" I stopped a little short so others may add verses of their own.
Samples used in this tune from the NY subway this summer. Inspired by Dave Dunseath
3-12, just uploaded a new version of this with guitar- and some other changes
Interesting subject matter in a world filled with high achievers buying their way to prosperity.
I like the message here. I think we need more of that.
Beautiful.
I'm curious what you are using for your wind instruments. It sounds similar to an Akai Professional EWI4000S. I have been admiring them from afar for a while now.
So after hearing some of Stephen Krell's outstanding picking, I asked him if he'd like to play along with any of my songs... I can't be happier with the one he picked to add his banjo to (seeing as how the song is written about my favorite Pete…
It's not what you're thinking. They don't make shine around here no more, do they Vernon? VERNON! WAKE UP. This is an old song we used to sing on the way to church when Vernon DIDN"T KEEP FALLING ASLEEP ALL THE TIME!!
This is an answer to the question posed to me by Bethan Mathis. This is how I've been feeling this week. I'm okay. I've just come to the realization about the rhythm of life.

Right back at you .... "Been there, done that".
Sometimes I think that the more different we think we are, the more we're just the same, or at least our situations seem similar.
I guess that's the long way of saying that I can relate to your song.
Very moving, and thought provoking.
I think it's adaptable to all types of singing styles too. For example, I can see myself playing this on my acoustic guitar.
a new song finally came out of my head .....
Here's the lyrics:
Numbers spinning ‘round my head
like bees around a hive
if I try to divide them
they only multiply
even if I round them up
or try to find their root
colors swirling ‘round my…
new for you, for me, for my dogs, for the late night jogs, early morning coffee mugs...they say he had a real "dog" complex but I guess it was better than have a real god complex
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
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,
he he ! I do believe this is a true story. Greg has plenty of experience skulking tru the neighborhood
Nice feel to this one love the lyrics...your vocals remind me of Dylan great!!
Your voice is so awesome! Love this one so much. I've got to visit that cafe!
Nicely done!
Good one Greg

Really nice production! You've obviously been to that joint a few times. Now what about a tune "Minnesota Mosquitos"?
Very nice track, well done!

This is really pretty! I love that keyboard/harpsichord sound on this.
This one was a treat. I'll be thinking of "Turkey's Lament" on Thursday when I say "Please pass the Tur....potatoes"
Less is More. It's amazing what can be accomplished with "No Name" guitar, old harmonica, and a playful frame of mind.
Nice playing and great sounds out of that guitar.
This one really captured my attention.
There is that Woody Guthrie sound again! Very nice Terry.

Wonderful easy listening that develops all through the piece.
What a nice collaboration between the two of you.
This is a remarkable presentation of a wonderful song. Outstanding Lisa!
Great harmony. A real treat to listen to. I know it kept me awake, but good luck with Vern
Excellent song Roger. My Sister and nephew agree!
This would make some interesting background music. It really frees a person's mind.
Igor ... You have the touch.

Wow ... quite a contrast to your last tune. You certainly know how to catch my attention. This is great!
Very moving, and thought provoking. I think it's adaptable to all types of singing styles too. For example, I can see myself playing this on my acoustic guitar.
Nice bouncy beat with clear vocals. It's a winner!
Not usually my kind of music, but there is something about it that is intriguing. Nice Going!
