With Mark *"Sweet Lips"* Imsdahl on Harmonica.
This is a story about my friend with impure thoughts of stealing Lilly Pads for his carp pond in the back yard.
I guess it all started, Out in the dark
I was stealing lily pads, From the local…
Here is a Steve Krell song.
Buck Erpestad and I recorded live using two acoustic guitars.
Here is a link to Steve's original version : http://alonetone.com/slkrell/tracks/saskatchewanshostalconnorkrell

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…

I, like you, use to do electric guitar in my HS years, but also migrated to acoustic. Is that progress? I think so -- this song here would be much less effective if juiced up with distortion and wah wah and the other toys of our youth. This song is hard core as it is, and needs no electricity to get its message across.
One of my other hobbies is watching wildlife in the area. I'm the happiest with a pair of binoculars around my neck and my hiking boots laced up.
Rita and I took these photos over the last few days, near our home.

I recon this is my favorite Connor tune thus far. That is some coolacious strumming -- quite nifty in fact. The vocals and harmonica are exceptional. Yeah, this one really does in for me.
Dedicated to the Winter that never seems to end.

Such gorgeous picking, and awesome vocals, and as I said below from my Merry Bear account, fabulous lyrics. It's an overall brilliant composition. You really have reached a higher level, and you were up there to begin with. <3 <3 <3

Remixed unplugged.
I removed all the electric guitars and synths.
I also replaced the lead with a harmonica, re-recorded my backups, and ran the bass track through a fretless patch.
I like this version.
Thanks Michael - You've been a wonderful…
Vocals by Greg Connor, lyrics by Connor and Merry Bear, music by Bear.
And y'all thought the Hokey Pokey was what it was all about! This song is 4 dimensional – up/down, left/right, in/out, now/then. BIG THANKS to Greg Connor for fabulous vocals…
Been a while since I posted anything...(working on a secret project) anyway been feelin the blues lately so I decided to record this old blues tune...the lead guitar was recorded in one take so please dismiss some clams and relentless wanking…
There is nothing like the presence of a horse. The quiet understanding. The gentle strength.
Woodlake, California...1961. I had a horse. She was my friend.
There were times in my teens when Babe was the only being that did not judge me…
I'm almost done with this last CD by Wildgeas Music.
I'm retiring to new stuff and new gear :)

Feeling down, I don’t know why
Remembering how I used to feel those times I cried
Running down this lonely heart
it just don’t feel the same now that we’re apart
And I know…
An old song revisited. My attempt of writing a Ye Olde style Folk song !!!! The old version is still deep down in My Tracks, be a where the sound is awful !!!!!
come away, come away
away from trouble
away from care
come away, come away
away from sorrow
away from fear
may the cool wind find you
through a thousand thoughts unsaid
gather you in
weary day behind you
and you can lay your head…
Finally, at last... I've got something finished...
Been working on this for a few weeks.
A bit of a rocker... (and an aging lecherous one at that)
I got it as close as I could and then mixed it loud... I've over-cooked it slightly - but…
A little ditty i recorded at the weekend and then sent off to the Mighty Two Regs to strut his stuff all over and man that boy can sing!!!
Cheers Reg,your a star!!!
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
Hey , Greg glad you got home ok! I wanted to drive you home from the party , but Kimmy took away my keys
love it ...has a really great fun feel!!! harmonica sound sweet!!!
That was just beautiful...well except for the dead wives. Who knew that lily pads could lead to love.
This might be my favorite *Steve Krell* song. Maybe Steve will record another version of *Saskatchewan* with his new Gibson J45.
This is really cool..I can hear this one being a rocker as well.
dig how this one just rolls along....
I can't imagine you would be lonely long with that amazing talent.

How purty!

VERY GROOVY, VERY COOL!
I agree totally with what that Justin Otter Guy said below me! ;)
Those Monkeys are buggers you know!!

Very nice!
Quite an exceptional job, both in songwriting and in recording.

Great sound and lyrics Greg. Nicely done.
I don't think Ronny Crème Cheese knows how to favor a tune: look for the heart, then right click. try it you will like it.
Comments made by Greg Connor
It's like taking a 5 minute journey. Haunting music with great bass line accompanying perfect vocal.
Nice organic feel with the acoustic guitar and harmonica
This thing REALLY swings! Excellent
This is a real toe tapper! Big full sound.
You have that distinctive sound. Well done again!
I love it! You should get the "BLUES" more often. This is first class.
Great sentimental song/story.
Wow . . . I like this! You really have a nice grove going here.
Great Vocal with lots of feeling! I like that acoustic sound too.
Beautiful song. Music is very inviting and compliments the singing perfectly. Nice work guys!
Nice *"Back To The Country"* song. I like that Open A tuning.
I. Think I know this woman that you are singing about. She really gets around. Nice harmonica Dave!
Good music! I spent a few minutes listening to several songs.
Sitting here on Saturday afternoon, playing along to your tune across the pond. *You gotta love the internet!*
This put some lead in my pencil this morning. Now I'm ready for the day.
Perfect Spring Love Song!
Still a *"KICK ASS"* Lullaby
*Bullseye* . . . ! You hit the spot Andrew!
Good to hear this today! Spring just isn't coming around this years. You got a nice refreshing song here!
You guys are both delivering the goods here. Good combined result.
