but a new song about the wind!!! great stuff
Here is a *MOJITO* Fueled version of "TV Dinner" that we recorded last Monday night in my Basement.
It's one of 9 songs we will be taping for Community TV, thanks to the *Minnesota Association Of SongWriters*

I had fun singing this at the open mic this past week.
Originally written for a song writing challenge using the phrase *"Chicken Plucking Time In Petaluma"*
(Remastered 22/10/2021)
So I got me a new geetar the other week.
Named her Lala, obviously. Seemed kind of appropriate - she wears a faded gold dress and is full of chunes and mischiefs.
This is our first effort together. It was meant…
DIRTY LAUNDRY Key C
I got a call from Russell. He had to move his junk
He’d filled his car. He’d filled his trunk
Big black bags of something. I said, “What’s with these?”
He said, “It’s dirty laundry.” I said, “That’s crazy.”
So, he…
That’s a nice piece of music! I pictured downhill skiing or snowboarding. I’ll admit, we had a whole week of snow last week. That may be why I’m thinking along those lines.
CATTAILS AND BUTTERFLIES capo @ 4 in C
C G repeat
There was a field around the corner
And a stream flowed cross the field
There were cat tails in the summer time
And monarch butterflies
And tadpoles sprouting wings
E…
A simple one-track mandolin tune. In fact it's the first tune I ever made on the mandolin. I think it would be better with a bodhran drum accompanying it, but I don't know how to play those!
Maybe someday this will work its way into something…
A friend asked me,
"Don't you have any happy songs?"
So I wrote one!
IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY capo @ 3

If it makes you happy I will tie your shoe

I found this one while I was digging through the shoe-box for the 1994 songs. Apparently I wrote it on 10th November 1995.
Foolishly, I thought it would only take a week or so to record... I was originally expecting…
So I had this song, not quite finished, I sort of insisted Greg Connor sing it, he also wrote the last verse. Steve Krell added the solo break. I think they helped to bring the song alive. Oh yeah, I'm in the Chorus ...... hiding Somewhere. :) :)
Here is my latest Minnesota Homebrew Radio Challenge entry:

Hey Colleen, you asked "Who did the scary cries????"
There are two theories:
1. It's Rita calling me for dinner.
2. It's my world famous Elk Rut recordings that I usually play every Halloween.
Well... I have a feeling that many of us may wish for a 2020 do-over. So here's a simple song to make that wish for us all!
Oh Mulligan
I wake up every morning
My jaw is clenched so tight
Even in my dreams it’s a battle
Who’s wrong and…

There was an album by a Los Angeles singer/songwriter named Judee Sill that came into KINK-FM back in 1971.

Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
I thought it was Listen To the Wind because of the title not the music!! 2 completely different songs...almost same title:-) love the new one!!

Another instant classic. Love the sound of the Gibson backing your beautiful vocals. This one is sure a keeper
Beautifully nostalgic lyrics and a charming sound of voice and guitar
beautiful........
Up near the Temprance right now... Came back for another listen to this lovely song
For me, this song captures a feeling. It puts me back in northern mn with whiskey jacks, chickadees, and the silence of fresh snow on the ground.
this is beautiful....
Dig it mate
Snagged this one, too.
Love your stuff. Am becoming a fan.
Nice song ...
No no! I don't want to hear about SNOW yet!! :-D
outstanding Greg...love the lyrics..guitars are sound amazing..really good mix
Oh wow! I just listened and remember you playing this last time around the coffee table. This is one of my all time favorites of yours!
Listening to this one tonight with little Rory. He is loving it!
Love this one :)
Nice & cool
The first line alone conveys so much! Powerful song on multiple levels. Thanks for sharing it.
Great song even though there is a sad undertone.

EXCELLENT! Reminds me of a blow up doll my friend once had. Everything you ever wanted.
I think there are a lot of us who are one step away from Russell’s situation.
That’s a nice piece of music! I pictured downhill skiing or snowboarding. I’ll admit, we had a whole week of snow last week. That may be why I’m thinking along those lines.
Simply a work of genius
that was fun!
This is good! It makes me happy too.
This made me happy!
Oh . . . This is GOOD.
Love it ❤️ A big scoop of attitude with less trick and more treat!
You are setting the pace. This is a thought provoking situational presentation Well done.
My feet are tapping! This is the stuff.
It's fun to hear how you just find these gems in the shoe box.
There we go! Good stuff!
Great song Roger!
Hey Colleen, you asked "Who did the scary cries????" There are two theories: 1. It's Rita calling me for dinner. 2. It's my world famous Elk Rut recordings that I usually play every Halloween.
That's really beautiful Colleen! A nice artistic way of saying what we all feel. Thank You!
I'm right there with you. I'm a button pusher when it comes to the radio.
It would be fun to hear your band play live someday. I wonder if you have anything on YouTube?
I like that Northern Michigan influence. Nice groove!
Lovely little ditty. You are the master of the quick statement and done song.
