Wow! This is a really awesome version. I just love the whistle. Brings that mournful feeling right to the front. Gorgeous all around! You have a keeper here.

Love trhe way the bass comes in. Great bass sound. Like water & glass. I
d pay money for that bass with that setting.
I think this is is one of your best songs.Lyrics, vocal, melody and production. Taking it to a new level.
Minnesota Coffee Table Series
This song is more fun than substance. Recorded at the end of the evening featuring the glow of an empty bottle of wine.
Mark Lofgren, Colleen Dillon, Mike Rudquist, Greg Connor
We're still short a few…
A little different angle than Champion Jack Dupree's take on seafood, but I'll always take blues, beer, and shrimp! Sounded like fun to perform and record.
My 7th song for the 2022 RPM challenge. This one is a bit more pensive and slow moving. I always love adding harmony. I was thinking of Bjork (who I love) when I wrote it. I included some flute so my sister can play along next time we jam…
Sultry ... Another excellent song, especially considering that you are writing and recording 1 every 2 days. Number 7? I think I've missed a couple. I'll have to go back and look.
Well
I am finally learning how to use Logic Pro 10
its a challenge but its got mojo if your willing to sweat
the song is for my friend who is at an impasse with his loved one
HE has the grit to admit that some things just run…

OK, this is a bit of a departure for me - posting songwriting demos.
This is a one mic recording made this morning in the living room, touch of reverbs…
Song 4 of my 2022 RPM challenge. A simple popish tune to add to the mix.
I never told you
what I wanted
no, it don’t feel right
the things you say
the things you do
well they hold me hold me
I never asked you
for anything

Song 3 of RPM 2022. For the many tortured artists I've met with a bit of a dance spin to it. Most of my songs are unintentional and unplanned....they just happen. Thanks to anyone who's listening!! :)

I write letters, but I don't send them and they go unanswered. I take them out and rewrite them, picking up the words and clarifying the meanings. I wait in hope that a reply will come someday.
I continue the conversation when it's long over…
This is beautiful. It really pulled me in.
I used to participate in REM February challenges but lost interest last year with their new format. I'll have to go look at this Song a Month idea.
I Can't Seem To Find My Way Home
Featuring Norm on Percussion Track: "Pilón For A New Son"
http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/piln-for-a-new-son
Lyrics:
Searching for something
I wonder and roam
Hoping the truth
Soon will be shown…
I started out this morning thinking about Norm’s fantastic percussion and came across this song. Norm let me use one of his percussion tracks to fill out the song. He has an album of 94 collaborations on his Alonetone Page.
I wrote this one yesterday. A little something to bring hope for the future.... there's always time to begin anew.
Thanks to Greg Connor and Mark Lofgren for their wonderful guitars and vocals on this one - recorded yet again around my kitchen…
A simple song in Open D.
It's a cold, and frosty night,
Stars are shining,
Shining bright.
A wintry breeze, through the trees,
Stoke the fire,
Beat the freeze,
It's a winter's tale.
Mull the wine, and cook the fare,
The larder…
Here's the second song I recently decided to do with a studio recording from one I wrote and posted here a while ago as a purely vocal version. It's one of my favorites.... I hope you'll enjoy it too
Singing In The Silence
Verse 1:
Singing…
After Greg Connor wrote this for me a while back, I kept listening to it every time I was feeling tired of winter, which at this time of year is several times a day. Somehow every time I listened to it, it reminded me of my dad. I know he would…
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
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!

Simple Gestures....too cool odd;y enough my band is working on an "Americana" opera about the civil war .. 13 songs ranging from blues to country to rock called The Ballad of Billy Joe Hurley..will post when recording is finished
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.
Another CLASSIC!!!!!
So nice Greg!
That's just plain excellent
Wow! This is a really awesome version. I just love the whistle. Brings that mournful feeling right to the front. Gorgeous all around! You have a keeper here.

Great sounding guitar and over all recording. You have the touch with Logic Pro.
Beautiful
That’s a great sounding demo Andrew! I share your thoughts on RPM. I did it for several years, but now I would rather take my time.
OMG, now that’s the blues.
Song 4 on day 6 of the RPM Challenge! That’s impressive. 4 excellent songs so far.
Well done! I enjoyed this
Introspective and touching. A heartfelt emotional message.
Yes .... I like this!
Another listen …. Conclusion … you are one of the best songwriters on this site.
Another beautiful song. A very poignant request put to music.
Beautiful piece. A melancholy feeling.
Very soothing. I like the tempo change identifying the Solstice (at least that's my interpretation)
This is beautiful. It really pulled me in. I used to participate in REM February challenges but lost interest last year with their new format. I'll have to go look at this Song a Month idea.
You have definitely captured a visual image here. I’m afraid we all, at some point, will be waiting out by the road in the rain.

Ahhhhh …. The highlights of 2021. We still had fun even with all the obstacles we encountered. Here’s to a great new year ahead.
I stopped by for another listen after a ripping cold weekend. Happy New Year Roger!
This is one of my favorites!
I love this version that you created.
