Beautiful! This really captures so much of my experience (my favourite time for walking). This is a very well composed piece and the playing and singing are amazing. Thank you

Remixed unplugged.
I removed all the electric guitars and synths.
I also replaced the lead with a harmonica, re-recorded my backups, and ran the bass track through a fretless patch.
I like this version.
Thanks Michael - You've been a wonderful…
Vocals by Greg Connor, lyrics by Connor and Merry Bear, music by Bear.
And y'all thought the Hokey Pokey was what it was all about! This song is 4 dimensional – up/down, left/right, in/out, now/then. BIG THANKS to Greg Connor for fabulous vocals…
Been a while since I posted anything...(working on a secret project) anyway been feelin the blues lately so I decided to record this old blues tune...the lead guitar was recorded in one take so please dismiss some clams and relentless wanking…
There is nothing like the presence of a horse. The quiet understanding. The gentle strength.
Woodlake, California...1961. I had a horse. She was my friend.
There were times in my teens when Babe was the only being that did not judge me…
I'm almost done with this last CD by Wildgeas Music.
I'm retiring to new stuff and new gear :)

Feeling down, I don’t know why
Remembering how I used to feel those times I cried
Running down this lonely heart
it just don’t feel the same now that we’re apart
And I know…
An old song revisited. My attempt of writing a Ye Olde style Folk song !!!! The old version is still deep down in My Tracks, be a where the sound is awful !!!!!
come away, come away
away from trouble
away from care
come away, come away
away from sorrow
away from fear
may the cool wind find you
through a thousand thoughts unsaid
gather you in
weary day behind you
and you can lay your head…
Finally, at last... I've got something finished...
Been working on this for a few weeks.
A bit of a rocker... (and an aging lecherous one at that)
I got it as close as I could and then mixed it loud... I've over-cooked it slightly - but…
A little ditty i recorded at the weekend and then sent off to the Mighty Two Regs to strut his stuff all over and man that boy can sing!!!
Cheers Reg,your a star!!!
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
A real gem ....
Wow!!! Your lyrics just slay!!!! This is one of my favorites for sure.
Nice to hear some new material!! Great lyrics...and as always outstanding vocals. Love the bluesy harmonica!
Your song writing is so awesome. Very much as good as Jim Croce storytelling. Love it!!!!!
Great storytelling Greg! Love the chorus and a beautiful mix. PS I graduated in 68, but I sold my ring.... that's another song though...lol
Another outstanding entry in the Connor catalog!
Great song, great lyrics...you win!!!
What a gorgeous song. I just love these lyrics and such a peaceful melody!!
As easy as that Greg, a simple sounding song, but I can hear the complexity of it ... just wonderful ...
Did you know the original recording was made by a group called Them Other Pluckers?
Absolutely beautiful imagery! Love the picking along the way giving such a quiet peaceful feeling! Well done guys!!
Beautiful! This really captures so much of my experience (my favourite time for walking). This is a very well composed piece and the playing and singing are amazing. Thank you
Great picture painting guys ....
Another piece of magic Greg ....
Nice collaboration!! Love the chorus.
I try ....
oh wow...what a gorgeous song!!! That guitar is so peaceful and played with sensitivity. Truly beautiful. Thank you :)
Love the chord structure and the minor feel. Excellent chorus and as always great vocals!!
Your vocals are really awesome on this! Kind of resonating akin to a Johnny Cash vibe. I love it!!
Gregg, Been there done that so it resinates in my memories. Picked my self up too and found my way. Good stuff. May I cover it? JOHN BENNETT

It's like taking a 5 minute journey. Haunting music with great bass line accompanying perfect vocal.
Nice organic feel with the acoustic guitar and harmonica
This thing REALLY swings! Excellent
This is a real toe tapper! Big full sound.
You have that distinctive sound. Well done again!
I love it! You should get the "BLUES" more often. This is first class.
Great sentimental song/story.
Wow . . . I like this! You really have a nice grove going here.
Great Vocal with lots of feeling! I like that acoustic sound too.
Beautiful song. Music is very inviting and compliments the singing perfectly. Nice work guys!
Nice *"Back To The Country"* song. I like that Open A tuning.
I. Think I know this woman that you are singing about. She really gets around. Nice harmonica Dave!
Good music! I spent a few minutes listening to several songs.
Sitting here on Saturday afternoon, playing along to your tune across the pond. *You gotta love the internet!*
This put some lead in my pencil this morning. Now I'm ready for the day.
Perfect Spring Love Song!
Still a *"KICK ASS"* Lullaby
*Bullseye* . . . ! You hit the spot Andrew!
Good to hear this today! Spring just isn't coming around this years. You got a nice refreshing song here!
You guys are both delivering the goods here. Good combined result.
