Singin' the blues! I think the first 2 lines are the same as "Blue Night", but then it goes off into it's own realm. There's nothing like a reso for the blues. One of these days I should pick up a decent one. BTW - resophonic/dobro with slide is getting really popular here. There was just a big festival going on down in Moscow recently.

This put a big smile on my face. The percussion is like nothing I've heard before in the Connor universe. That's a hip bass and drum combo, but the vocals and guitar are classic -- a mighty tasty fusion of styles. Very interesting, intriguing even. The blend of vocal tracks is particularly groovy. Some sweet picking there, bud! I'm taking this out for another spin!
Here's a new song.
Just me...

I've been callin' your number – I was so alone
I've been callin' all night long – You didn't pick up your phone
I want to hear you whisper – Sweet things in my ear…

And here is the first reply to In Your Hands.
I say "first" because I've found another one, When I Try To Be Me, that Mrs R says I have to do too... but that's unlikely to be the next one I post because I'm working…
The other night I was sitting out watching a little fire in my backyard, and thinking about how useless it is to let the past dictate our present and future. This one is dedicated to all of us with relationships in our history that have no place…
Wow! Beautiful song! Better send this one to Carl.
Just to set the record straight, Yes, I played guitar and bass on this, but Colleen mixed it after we had a brainstorming session on how to do it. Nice Mix Colleen!

Bats and mosquitos
Toad frogs and flies
Like algae and oil spills
Miners and coal hills
Black holes and light

In a bar in Fort Worth, Texas, one night I'll never forget
But then that bartender ruined my plans…

When you're born in California
There are things you take for granted
The sunshine and the desert and
The forests, and the bears and the beaches

Poignant and well delivered message! Sorry to hear that your Dad is in a nursing facility now. There are a lot of us dealing with aging parents right now.
From what you have shared with me regarding his personality, he’s probably making friends and enjoying himself.

And here we go - Edith FINALLY gets it...
Actually, she's been getting it ever since I wrote it on the 29th May. I thought it would take a week or so, but it proved to be more of a fight than I was expecting.

Huge rain thunder and lightning storm swept thru, and right behind

Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
A master class in song writing and playing Greg
Lovin' that harp playin' Greg. Don't get much better. Just cool!
Another excellent mix and balance of voice and all the instruments.
Nice tune!
Sounds like Jim Morrison vocals and with the skill of Bob Dylan guitar and harmonica at the same time
We're all clucked up over this one!
Nice "stuff"

I'm with Ron on the swamp rock feel, and with Colleen about the movie soundtrack material. As always, without fail, a great job!
Oh yeah...nice funky groove!
Sweet!!!!!!! Is that you on the harmonica as well??? This one sounds like movie soundtrack material :-)
Eight to go please with deli mustard
Huh, full moon last nite , why do I think you wrote this this morning?
Good ear Ron! Yes, that's my old Dobro, built in 1973 tuned to open D and played with a slide.
you are on a roll now for the RPM Challenge... are you playing slide? sounds great ...almost like a Dobro...this has a really nice swamp rock feel!!
Very catchy tune. Added it to my collection.
Alright!! Jammin' tune Greg. Goes great with my morning coffee and cigarettes. Rise and shine :)
This has a really great feel and good grove... the challenge is yours!!!!...do it chorus sounds amazing...outstanding vocals as usual..
funky vocals… you have a lot of tricks up that sleeve of yours

Neat guitar sound.
Oh yeah, great song. I really like the way your guitar sounds. By the way . . . They never called me back either.
Beautiful.
Nice guitar playing! You got the touch Andrew!
Wow! Beautiful song! Better send this one to Carl. Just to set the record straight, Yes, I played guitar and bass on this, but Colleen mixed it after we had a brainstorming session on how to do it. Nice Mix Colleen!
Lovely, well played.
Short and sweet! An impression of a thought to be completed by the listener, maybe.
I love the ending. Everyone’s a winner.
Another keeper. I love the guitar playing. It’s one positive thing that has come out of this mess that everyone is in. Some great music is surfacing.
I’m laughing early this morning. James ...... you can write a song about anything.
Great memories. You really paint a picture.
My feet are tapping!
Rita and I both enjoyed the video. We especially liked “the good wife” singing back up. I have to say the ending really got our attention.
My feet are tapping in sultry Minnesota this morning. Thanks for taking my mind off the heat for a few minutes!
Poignant and well delivered message! Sorry to hear that your Dad is in a nursing facility now. There are a lot of us dealing with aging parents right now. From what you have shared with me regarding his personality, he’s probably making friends and enjoying himself.
Wonderful medley of tones weaving in and out. Love it! That slide is captivating.
Love the slide and the topic!
Oh yeah . . . . You are on a streak. Another good one.
Wow is the word! Impressive.
Rainy days are good for naps but they can certainly mess with your head. Good song Roger! I like the ending, “Don’t let me down”
