Oh, Greg, you are brilliant. A master songwriter with a tasteful ear for what genre and instruments and style go with the lyrics, which you are also great at. Very pleasing, and much fun. I'm with Ron -- how do you do it?!

I Can't Seem To Find My Way Home
Featuring Norm on Percussion Track: "Pilón For A New Son"

Lyrics:
Searching for something
I wonder and roam
Hoping the truth
Soon will be shown…
LYRICS:
With Or Without You
Try to get along but it takes two
It’s a Whole lot of me and not much you
Working myself right to the bone
Thinking that I am all alone
Just like a monkey up in the tree
Throwing your feces straight…

Yes- one of the nicer elements of Minnesota winter. Love the natural selection line.. passed 5 accidents on my way into town that day that got me to thinking the same. Some folks just don't know when to pull back on the reins ... Good lyrics- good harmonies

Y'ALL'S VOICES BLEND BEAUTIFULLY TOGETHER! Really nice mixing/mastering job! Your vocal delivery, Greg, is particularly well done in this one. Sweet lyrics, and the guitar part was executed quite sweetly too.

Once again, Greg Connor has kindly added his wonderful harmonica and Dobro to this song. Thanks so much, Greg! Mean Streak Blues is a song about how wrongly we could deal with frustration....enjoy listening
Lyrics:
Dogs bark all night
My…
Oh yes, this is the stuff. Thanks for the invitation to *"season"* your song a little.
It was fun pulling out that old Dobro and bottle neck. This song is just made for it!
Sometimes it's hard to figure out what just happened. And then again it's sometimes hard to figure out something that happened years ago.
(To answer the question by the commenter, that's all me and my little self all alone in the basement…
Hey all, which Greed version do you prefer? :)
Lead guitar, organ, and drums added by Vic Lyn. He did a great job - extremely talented and insightful with music. Thanks so much, Vic. (Check out Vic's website: www.avlstudios.com
wrote and recorded this last Christmas...all guitars are my PRS SC Trem LTD (with rosewood neck)

Tis the season... so thought I would go for a repeat!!!.....Merry ho ho Christmas!!!

My instrumental cover of Christina Aguilera's song "Beautiful" I guess I am ready for the old folks home!!!! ...now that I am doing ballads!!!
I just happen to really like the chord progression and thought I would try an instrumental cover…
This is a request from Gene Eric Mann
one of mine and Andy's older ones...we envisioned this a a soundtrack for a horror movie....Andy thought of the story because his son likes to go into the woods near his house and brng back sticks!!
this is…
Unique, and very interesting.
I like how both Justin and Gene love it. They have an interesting ability to always agree. I have to concede, they're both right on this one!
Another oldie form Andy and I and requested by Gene Eric Mann....this one is about a friend of Andy's that had a drug problem....Andy wrote all the lyrics and plays rhythm guitar...weird guitar parts and all other instruments sre me and me playing…
We've always adored this song, there is another version but decided to re-record it. Now I think the Good Wife sounds quite good, when I think of the crap health problems she endured over the last 4 years. I am bias of course !!!! Lastly apologies…
This song has been sat on the marvellous mechanical mouse organ in the broom-cupboard for well over a year.
A few weeks ago I got a bit of a scare - the mouse organ nearly broke down (in the middle of sorting out Delta Dawn). While I was fixing…
One I wrote about 5 or 6 years ago, very different to the old version. It came about because of the shameful treatment of the soldiers coming back injured from that S**t hole of a country by the British Gov. They were forced into doing much more…
Justin Otter Guy (just another guy) and Gene Eric Mann (generic man) are the same musician. My originals are penned as Gene tunes (alonetone.com/mythopoetica) and my covers are uploaded as Justin tunes (/redshirt).
This is another GHOST OF JOHN MURPHY piece from the VOICES CD...
DIAMOND - Monster Wave
It started with an earthquake half a mile below
Belching like a bull whip to make the water blow
Monster in the making, Frankenstein unchained
Gravity…
A tune for Halloween.
I wanted to do something creepy. It works.
All Alone
I turn your knob
and throw Spot a bone
I palm your panties
when your not home
I turn the lights off
and cut your phone
I feel your fears
when you all…
Song by Nick Plagakis
Lyrics:
I don’t care for love and happiness
I got myself a yacht and a mansion
I don’t believe in God and religion
I got myself sixty four billion
Greed, greed, greed is what I need
Greed, greed, greed is what…
You have some great lines here . . . *Got Myself A High Priced Honey"*
Judging from the headlines in the news lately I think I might have a hint where the inspiration for this song came from.
Well done Nick!
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
I totally love this song! It's going to be the song in my head all this week, I am sure!!!!
Great job I think you met the challenge!
Nice job!
No matter which version of this song I listen to, in my head I hear you singing "Come and get it!"
Oh, Greg, you are brilliant. A master songwriter with a tasteful ear for what genre and instruments and style go with the lyrics, which you are also great at. Very pleasing, and much fun. I'm with Ron -- how do you do it?!
Garrison Keillor would like this
I'm afraid to even try to say chicken pluckin!!!!...let alone in Petaluma:-) you had to win the challenge.....I don't know how you do it....great one Greg
Hey Norm . . . I'm taking a walk down memory lane this afternoon. Nice Drumming! Here is where to find Norm: http://alonetone.com/norm
I just discovered this one! It's fun to page through your tunes. Always something great to find.
Great tune.
How did I neglect to favorite this one before now?!
Oh yes, like it. And you even included the chords so's I could play along :-)
Good stuff guys
As always- a great tune, Greg. Love the two voices.
Yes- one of the nicer elements of Minnesota winter. Love the natural selection line.. passed 5 accidents on my way into town that day that got me to thinking the same. Some folks just don't know when to pull back on the reins ... Good lyrics- good harmonies
Kinkin indeeed
What can I say...another great composition Greg...love the duet with Colleen...you guys are really sounding good together...love it..
Y'ALL'S VOICES BLEND BEAUTIFULLY TOGETHER! Really nice mixing/mastering job! Your vocal delivery, Greg, is particularly well done in this one. Sweet lyrics, and the guitar part was executed quite sweetly too.
Great mix Greg - as usual.
Very blusey. Great guitar sound.
Comments made by Greg Connor
Very romantic. I like that syncopated rhythm.

You really know how to tickle an emotion. I love it James!
I just listened to them back to back. Both good, but, the acoustic version has my vote. It has that raw feel to it. Both good though.
NOW I'M IN THE MOOD !!!! Let the festivities commence.
You got my feet tapping with this one! Great Mix.
I had to press play for another listen this morning.
Unique, and very interesting. I like how both Justin and Gene love it. They have an interesting ability to always agree. I have to concede, they're both right on this one!
Good one guys!
This is a great groove. Very inviting.
Interesting bits of music! It will be fun to hear the finished result.
I don't know the original either, but I like this. Both of you sound *GREAT!*
Beautiful Andrew!
Interesting subject matter. The reality of war almost makes a person sick thinking about it. You put this together nicely though. A great tribute.
You sound a lot like my friend Gene! *Coincidence?* . . . . You got me chuckling this morning. Sincerely, *Justin Time*
I may have to download this to give the kids a chill tonight on Halloween! *WHO'S THERE ?*
*OMG* . . . You scared the Hell out of me!
I'm winking right back at you . . . *Birds of a feather*.
*BIGGER THAN LIFE* . . . Again
You have some great lines here . . . *Got Myself A High Priced Honey"* Judging from the headlines in the news lately I think I might have a hint where the inspiration for this song came from. Well done Nick!
