The Sun is shining tru the hole in my heart. I am lucky to be old and grey.
Don't ask a song writer to critique anything,
they may not have found a day job yet!!!!
Great writing I like it
Pretty mandolin. This is another one of my favorites of yours. I bet there are a few in that group might even tell Eric Clapton that his chords need to be simpler...this is lovely

Ooohhh.... I remember you playing this one around the coffee table once before. I love this one so much! I'm guessing this one is on your CD! I've got to go download that right now...
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!!
From a idea born in the mind of Greg Connor, who wrote half the words. I supplied the tune,at his behest. Perhaps someday he will take it up and add his accents to it.
At one point, I had a version recorded with much better guitar -- at least I thought I did -- but I can't find it now...
Another one of those tunes that kept growing after the demo was laid down, this song now has twice as many verses as you…
This song is inspired by the struggles currently going on in Syria....here are the lyrics:
Out in the streets, an awakening has begun
You brandish posters, they point a gun
Scrawled on the pavement with blood and tears
Says we the people…
In the old days you could dodge the collectin man if your money wasn't right.Nowadays they can remotely shut off your lights,cable,internet-put your stuff out on the curb. So this is a bittersweet trip down nostalgia lane.
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.
New York Times, in an article today
"Hamburgers in Paris!" Its on the front page
Everybody wants it. McDonalds in Paris
Everybody wants it
Has the taste of the forbidden. Illicit and subversive.
You can print it out. You can write it cursive…
My "banjo-centric" arrangement of this old minstrel show tune. I recorded it for backing tracks for my live set. I kind of wanted a fiddle solo, but I don't play fiddle. So in the middle there's a little "fiddle synthesizer" - just a couple of…

Uhm, right. That explains why James Taylor was such a flop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUFwk1Ibwkc

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!

We're R O C K I N G now!
Very Pretty!
Another good one. You're on a roll Terry!
Good Story!
The Full Moon affects me too! I enjoyed your lyrics here.
Reminds me of some of my favorite people . . . ZZ Top
This is GOOD.
Nice guitar licks.
My blood is pumping Now!
NICE ... You really hit the Mark!
Smooth . . . Thanks for showing how it's done.
Nice guitar playing.
Great song, and I'm very happy to not be able to relate to the subject matter.
A heartfelt song with plenty of raw emotion. I agree with Steve! One of your finest.
I like that Drop D, fragmented chord sound. The harmonics were a nice touch too.
This is incredible Kirk. I hope you have more of these recordings. They're fantastic.
This is GREAT! You're making me hungry.
Beautifully played. You can really get some nice tone out of that guitar.
Now . . . my feet are tapping! Nice Picking Robert!
Good harmony, and good recreation of an old classic.
