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

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!

Way to go!!! Nice way to start the challenge. I loved your vocals on this one. One more that's going to happily stick with me all day

amazing,, i love the music,, and i laugh with the story..you have some great sound here

Hard to resist the charm :) Cool harp.

Laid back to say the least. Good stuff.

Oh mercy!!

Here is a new mix, compliments of Gene Eric Mann. Gene didn't say this, but I'd like to think that he wanted to make sure that Steve heard every word clearly. Thanks Gene!

You guys are hilarious. You put so much heart and soul into putting a professional, classy musical track to some crazy silly lyrics. Y'all are so lovable. No wonder Rosie is so torn between you and Steve -- but y'all better watch it. I heard a rumor that some guy name Ron might start making moves on that gal.

hahaha… Rose sure likes a change of scenery.

You are still going great. A real treat for sure

I recognize that blues background. Another great song. SlKrell lost the girl!!! Funny stuff guys.

Who is this Slkrell?

You know this one's right up my alley!!!...playin da blues and stealin your buddys girl...ha good gawd!!!! love it....I might want permission to cover this one....love the lyrics...

Yes yes yes yes yes!!!! The song that first made me a Connor fan.

Well ... I tried to log in on my iPhone and learned that I am only a guest. Rita and I listened to *"Taking Back What's Mine"* over a Bluetooth speaker in the living room this morning and as I said in the previous "Guest" message, lots of emotion and imagery! I'm impressed with your guitar playing and the tone from your new guitar too. Very nice!

Beautiful Song John!

Another strong contribution. It's great to hear so much of your music here lately. Congratulations on the RPM Victory!

One after another . . . Strong lyrics and a great melody. Excellent! I see you decided to put Laural & Hardy's version out of its mystery. Good choice. We were making it much more complicated than it needed to be.

Yes, I like this version too! Clean with just a bit of attitude.

Cheers!

Congratulations Grampa! Nice tribute to bring your Grand daughter into this world.

I can tell you are having fun with this! It's contagious.

Ah ..... Minnesota has created two new Poets! *Keep on Truckin!* That Tax Man has been circling around me lately too.

Instant smile! I can hear *"Sweet Baby Kenny"* blowing the harmonica in between sips of Jameson.

Pretty, reminds me of a gentle stream.

Nice sounding organ!

Reminds me of Iron Butterfly . . . I don't know why. I can hear Thetworegs singing lyrics to this!

Powerful Song !!!

Ethereal and Deep. It makes me stop and think. Good one John!

Still good this morning!

Sitting around your coffee table has been a lot of fun! This just puts a smile on my face to hear it! Beautiful song you wrote! Thanks for letting us play along.

I love it! I like the way it builds. So . . . is this autobiographical?

How about if I bring a harmonica Friday night and we do this song?

This is powerful. Sparse is the perfect approach and it accents your message perfectly. One after another . . . You just keep setting the bar higher!
