Greg, the lyrics brought tears, silently sliding down my cheek, and a tug at my heart. The words have so much meaning and you found the true meaning of "Photographs" being a timeless picture of our memories. You have a special gift of music and I am so grateful you share with all of us.

Greg this is one of my favorites of all time. Your lyrics really touched me. And that timely harmonica just brings the bittersweet feel of the song. You are amazing!
Last weekend we did this oldie

Saturday nightlife, hot and swell
In the lower…
Here's the band version of this song

The moon comes up
The sun goes down
The circle of life
Going 'round and 'round
Living…
Here's another new one

I don't take no for an answer
I want to know what is true
Don't be a tightrope dancer…

And here's another song from 1994, with a sparkling new "Andrew Russe Band" arrangement fresh from the broom-cupboard.
Like most of my songs, it was written with an acoustic guitar, a pen, and an A4 pad. The ones…
A new one
Hope you like it....

When the plans you made don't turn out right
When the goals you set are out of sight
Your bank account on an all time low
When you ain't got a place to go
Time to get stoned…
Inspired by Steve Krell who wrote the first verse and chorus. Colleen Dillon wrote the second verse and Greg Connor, the third. Authentic Native American War Cry by Kimmie who has Cherokee heritage.

Well I'm down
I am falling to the ground…
You got the groove. Those licks really caught me. Nice reminder of a band called Dirty Thump.
You post one great song after another. Great listening pleasure.

And this is the last of the little threesome of In Your Hands, Little Thing, and this one, When I Try To Be Me.
It's in the key of 4th fret and was written just over a month later than the other two, on 19th March…
I was looking through my messages and found this collab i did with Kari a while back in 2017 i had forgotten all about. so pleased i found it thanks Kari
Do you ever have an idea / song that you just need to get out of you and recorded, even though it's so rough that you'll want to re-do it over and over again? This is one of those for me....
Drive Until The Signal Dies
Verse 1
Your Silence…
Now that’s a powerful song! I could feel the emotion dripping out of it. Great visual image of “drive until the signal dies”. Well done! You have raised the standard for all of us . . . again.
(Remastered 22/10/2021)
Now here's a bit of an oldie - the second song I ever wrote. In... 1978!
I think I played it once, or maybe twice, at school assemblies. My musical peers and colleagues back then dismissed it as corny/rancid pop music…
That’s a long way back! Long before any of us could easily record at home. It’s a fun song that you have held onto all these years.
I wonder we’re the next generation of musicians are? The garage bands, kids dragging instruments around, all that seems to be gone. You’re song has managed to bring back the memories of my youth.
This is the last song on The edge of Winter but it is not finished there is another part yet to be written ...
Winter's tale of woe : Part 1 - The end of winter. Part 2 - The last snowstorm
GONE - My sequester song...
Chain wrapped around the dog park gate
Weeds growing on the school yard lawn
Where has everybody gone
The chairs are stacked
And the stage is dusty
And my strings are getting rusty...
(C) Royal T Music
You know this story the apple tree, the snake.
it takes Hope and latin drums to kill a snake
don't leave home without your hand drum and you will thrive
The desert heat can twist a mode as the ears suffer a mirage .
Twist twisted spin in the heat your senses are turned senselessly swirling octaves high
Made possible by Gibson’s brilliant P - 90 ‘s
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
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.

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

Just a “feel good” song as we burn some lunch on the grill.
Beautiful message and wonderful song! It’s been a great Summer my friend. Here is the summary: https://alonetone.com/MTBottles/tracks
Sounds like the gal I’ve been looking for all my life.
Jazzy! Nice work on this one. You really made something of this.
Another great groove. Your mixing and overall sound is outstanding.
I love the sound of that electric guitar!
4 Track? I remember those days. Sounds like fun.
Different and beautiful. I like the build and drop, high/low contrast in the song.
I think you guys in Holland are having more fun than we are over here. One after another KC ! Keep them coming.
Lots of fun, my fellow Zoomers.
You got the groove. Those licks really caught me. Nice reminder of a band called Dirty Thump. You post one great song after another. Great listening pleasure.
I love that wooden acoustic sound. Nice little hook in there. It’s another winner Andrew.
Beautiful song

Great imagery! Who would have thought a year ago that we would have a summer like this?
I’m liking the tones you’re getting on your guitar.
Dancing in my jammies this morning!
Beautiful and soothing . . . Very pleasant.
