Love it. I get a total sense of how great that hiking is without having to throw my back out of joint schlepping a heavy pack, soaking my aching feet, or providing culinary delights for the Minnesota State Bird!
Great to hear your new music here!!! I know that trail well and you've captured it perfectly here. I love the lyrics (as usual) - shout out to vibrate soles!!

A song from one of our latest sessions

Erwin B - bass, recording
KC - vocals, guitar, keys & mix

Well I'm down
I am falling to the ground…
You got the groove. Those licks really caught me. Nice reminder of a band called Dirty Thump.
You post one great song after another. Great listening pleasure.

And this is the last of the little threesome of In Your Hands, Little Thing, and this one, When I Try To Be Me.
It's in the key of 4th fret and was written just over a month later than the other two, on 19th March…
I was looking through my messages and found this collab i did with Kari a while back in 2017 i had forgotten all about. so pleased i found it thanks Kari
Do you ever have an idea / song that you just need to get out of you and recorded, even though it's so rough that you'll want to re-do it over and over again? This is one of those for me....
Drive Until The Signal Dies
Verse 1
Your Silence…
Now that’s a powerful song! I could feel the emotion dripping out of it. Great visual image of “drive until the signal dies”. Well done! You have raised the standard for all of us . . . again.
(Remastered 22/10/2021)
Now here's a bit of an oldie - the second song I ever wrote. In... 1978!
I think I played it once, or maybe twice, at school assemblies. My musical peers and colleagues back then dismissed it as corny/rancid pop music…
That’s a long way back! Long before any of us could easily record at home. It’s a fun song that you have held onto all these years.
I wonder we’re the next generation of musicians are? The garage bands, kids dragging instruments around, all that seems to be gone. You’re song has managed to bring back the memories of my youth.
This is the last song on The edge of Winter but it is not finished there is another part yet to be written ...
Winter's tale of woe : Part 1 - The end of winter. Part 2 - The last snowstorm
GONE - My sequester song...
Chain wrapped around the dog park gate
Weeds growing on the school yard lawn
Where has everybody gone
The chairs are stacked
And the stage is dusty
And my strings are getting rusty...
(C) Royal T Music
You know this story the apple tree, the snake.
it takes Hope and latin drums to kill a snake
don't leave home without your hand drum and you will thrive
The desert heat can twist a mode as the ears suffer a mirage .
Twist twisted spin in the heat your senses are turned senselessly swirling octaves high
Made possible by Gibson’s brilliant P - 90 ‘s
Here's a new song.
Just me...
KC

I've been callin' your number – I was so alone
I've been callin' all night long – You didn't pick up your phone
I want to hear you whisper – Sweet things in my ear…

And here is the first reply to In Your Hands.
I say "first" because I've found another one, When I Try To Be Me, that Mrs R says I have to do too... but that's unlikely to be the next one I post because I'm working…
The other night I was sitting out watching a little fire in my backyard, and thinking about how useless it is to let the past dictate our present and future. This one is dedicated to all of us with relationships in our history that have no place…
Wow! Beautiful song! Better send this one to Carl.
Just to set the record straight, Yes, I played guitar and bass on this, but Colleen mixed it after we had a brainstorming session on how to do it. Nice Mix Colleen!
Like beavers and willows
Bats and mosquitos
Toad frogs and flies
Like algae and oil spills
Miners and coal hills
Black holes and light

(Funny song about an embarrassing moment that turned out well.)
I was making the rounds, gaining ground on this cute little brunette
In a bar in Fort Worth, Texas, one night I'll never forget
But then that bartender ruined my plans…

OK, let's delve once more into the magical shoebox of unused songs...

Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
Great bluesy song Greg. The rhythm carries you along the trail as if you're really there. Super!
Love it. I get a total sense of how great that hiking is without having to throw my back out of joint schlepping a heavy pack, soaking my aching feet, or providing culinary delights for the Minnesota State Bird!
Out dah dah outstanding Me gabrellas were dancing to this one
Very Nice Lyrics especially if you are a hiker on that trail.
Great to hear your new music here!!! I know that trail well and you've captured it perfectly here. I love the lyrics (as usual) - shout out to vibrate soles!!
Oh yeah!! outstanding..I love when you show your bluesier side...can't wait to hear this album...vinyl or CD? :-)
I like this song.
Nice picking

Yay!!!! Love this one Greg. Sorry it took me a bet to give it a good listen. Congrats on creating and producing this album. It's a fantastic work of art!

That Rotten Rosie does a lot of damage> " She is not worth it Greg, What take out the trash? Ok Sweet Rosie ,Right away love"
Very nice lyrics and performance . cg .
You all sound great together!! you should name the band "Minnesota Coffee Table Crew" (MCTC) and take the show on the road...
Really a pretty song. Another fav for sure!!
Well done, to say the least.
Great song!
Well done! And the whistle fits like a glove.

I love that wooden acoustic sound. Nice little hook in there. It’s another winner Andrew.
Beautiful song

Great imagery! Who would have thought a year ago that we would have a summer like this?
I’m liking the tones you’re getting on your guitar.
Dancing in my jammies this morning!
Beautiful and soothing . . . Very pleasant.
Neat guitar sound.
Oh yeah, great song. I really like the way your guitar sounds. By the way . . . They never called me back either.
Beautiful.
Nice guitar playing! You got the touch Andrew!
Wow! Beautiful song! Better send this one to Carl. Just to set the record straight, Yes, I played guitar and bass on this, but Colleen mixed it after we had a brainstorming session on how to do it. Nice Mix Colleen!
Lovely, well played.
Short and sweet! An impression of a thought to be completed by the listener, maybe.
I love the ending. Everyone’s a winner.
Another keeper. I love the guitar playing. It’s one positive thing that has come out of this mess that everyone is in. Some great music is surfacing.
I’m laughing early this morning. James ...... you can write a song about anything.
