This is so deeply melancholy. The arrangement is awesome. I haven't heard your mandolin and harps in awhile. They sound perfect. An instant classic and fav.

Lyrics:
Down by the riverside, autumn wind blows cold
The river just keeps rolling by with just a hint of snow
I continue standing here, where did you go
Ain’t no use to worry, some things I’ll never know
Last thing that you told me…
Something new here. Tilden Barger offered to arrange and produce this song. Tell me what you think.
Written by Greg Connor
Arranged and Produced by my friend Tilden Barger

don’t be scared
don’t run away

don’t let people mess you around…

Anything for You

Some're up til morning light, some go to bed at eight
I'll be there baby whenever you tell me to

Pain of Loss
I’m sure i can hear a whisper, calling out the answers in the distance
the voices of a thousand men who have passed this way before
The path has been wandered a million times then they have walked through the…
Gary and I did something good.
ONE AND ONLY
How many times have you been captured by a camera
With no one really knowing who you are
Caught in the sight lines in the background
In the corner of their eyes
Never looking closely at the…
Straight cover, from a backing track, just because I had the urge and I don't think the neighbours would appreciate me thrashing the guitar so late!
The backing track pretty much sums up where my head was at when I recorded it :)
First of all guys, sorry haven't been about for weeks. Been down with Flu & this & that, got to say this song didn't do the throat much good. So many takes, as I coughed up my lungs half way through !!!!! Anyway, an old rant I wrote 6…
This would make great background music for the recent Carnival Cruise Trimumph disaster.
I can just picture those 4,000 souls floating out on the Gulf of Mexico.
This is one of the things I was fiddling with when I sang Me and Bobby McGee as a distraction last week.
I'm working on finding out how to get acoustic stuff down consistently and effectively within the confines of what I've got here - I wasn…
Greg let me have another go at one of his songs and I the wrote the words and music for a bridge
so that way he has to pay me some royalties when he sells a million !!! lol thanks Greg for your inspiration and great music!!

Just me and me banjo.

A little banjo-centric parody of the old Irving Berlin song, written after more than a week in -20 C. temps in northwest Russia. Brrr. And Merry Christmas.

A little tune to help me get through the winter ... used my 63 Fender Jazzmaster for the guitar tracks. This guitar has been with me through thick and thin and just gets better with age.
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
Great song Greg, the chorus is fabulous and stuck in my head!
Fun song Greg!! love the chorus harmonica sounds perfect
Classy as always.
Great tune Greg. Nice job on all of it!!
Been there. Nicely done. Had to replay this one.
Very nice arrangement Greg
Like the arrangement and mandolin sounds great. Nice one Greg!
Crisp clear sound...great melody!
I agree with Colleen....another outstanding tune...and I love the mandolin parts!!
This is so deeply melancholy. The arrangement is awesome. I haven't heard your mandolin and harps in awhile. They sound perfect. An instant classic and fav.
I can see it very clearly. This is your Early Morning Rain...
Like :)
Like this a lot.
Well done... gritty and edgy; the I like it
Groovy arrangement & timely topic. You're pretty good at this songwriting stuff . . .
Great feel and groove to this one...guitar playing is most excellent ..some of your best Greg!!
Gorgeous guitar work! And I couldn't agree more with the message. Thanks for this timely piece!
Love the Guitar and rhythm. Nice Greg.
Nice song, Greg.
Another beauty here Greg! I like those extra touches in the background. Your voice sounds great!
Comments made by Greg Connor
I like this. Great lyrics combined with simplicity.
This would make a great Stadium Rock Anthem.
Another good one. You have some great guitar licks here.
Refreshing . . . right between the soft and the hard.
Good combination of music and lyrics.
You have a nice groove going here. I like that bass.
Attitude +Plus FDR - You Got Style!
First Rate! Nice going guys. This is a great song.
I think your *"Back Up Band"* is holding you back. I found myself leaning in to hear that GREAT voice of yours.
Lots of tenacity here. Your lungs may be coughed up but the family jewels are still clanging together. Nice delivery !
This would make great background music for the recent Carnival Cruise Trimumph disaster. I can just picture those 4,000 souls floating out on the Gulf of Mexico.
Poetry . . . Well crafted, and superbly delivered.
This is JUST PLAIN FUN . . . .
Back for another listen. This goes well with coffee this morning. I feel like it's the sunrise singing to me.
Outstanding . . . I'll drink to that! Good Gawd, the bridge is FANTASTIC. I like the scream and the denial at the end.
Another GREAT video!
Now I'm watching the video. It's nice to know creative people!
I Just found this now! What a riot. I love the interplay between banjo and guitar. You are my FAVORITE musician in Russia.
Yes ... That Jazzmaster is sounding good.
As Ron Rouch would say "Good GAWD" That's funny!
