I thought I'd uploaded this ages ago!
Less chaotic 'Chaos' after I found a melody I was happy with, and the delay button :)
Enjoy! xox
P.S. I knew I'd seen it on here somewhere - it was uploaded by Jip under Third Quarter of the Moon :)

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

Delightful. Finally . . . Something to contemplate
George Orwell tried to warn us. Now . . . here we are. Nice way to put it into a song.
Beautiful voice and accompanyment -.. . KA0YCO
One of my favorite songs too! I like how you belted it out. That's the ticket. You can feel the grit in there. Well Done!
I stopped by for another listen. It's facinating.
A rich and full sound. Beautiful
You have a nice clean approach to recording. It's enjoyable to listen to. Good song!
I like that banjo. A nice *"Feel Good"* song.
Way to bark it out! I Love Love Love it. Great lyrics, Great lead guitar. You really drove it home!
You gotta love RPM. That's when the creativity shows itself. Nice one!
That is really a cool sound.
Very interesting. I'm glad you explained the concept. Third listen . . . Pretty neat idea.
This just makes you feel good.
That's it Stan. I just added you to the people I follow. Keep them coming!
This one *really* caught me! What a great idea, and well executed. You have created something special here.
Great sound to drift along with. I like the tempo changes. Delightful.
This is one of the freshest original sounds I've heard recently. Well done. Second listen now. Billy Boy just draws you in.
Good for the Soul . . . Just like you said.
Nice song. I like the tones you got out of the guitar.
You really know how to deliver it. I love it.
