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.

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

Nice tune. I'm getting a sense that the roller coaster of Life is hitting one of the low spots for you at the moment. I was at a CSN concert back in the 80s, where David Crosby, introducing the song said. "When life lands you in serious sh**, you do the only thing you CAN do... CARRY ON!" And the boys launched into it. And It Was Good.

Great lyrics, love the Simian reference.
I once read a book about difficult people,
but he tore it up and tossed it out.
The tune is tight and druid in feel. I so like this one 5 stars

There's not a drop of RICH MAN'S BLOOD
in the puddles of this war.
But the blood that's spilled's become a flood
of the hungry and the poor.
There is not a trace of RICH MAN'S BLOOD
in the bags that hang beside
the beds of legless soldiers…
I thought it would be fitting to post this today, on Memorial Day, as a tribute to my friend William Easley, as well as all who have fought and died in wars, American or otherwise.

New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…
For Someone extremely special.
And for those that it might help.
Thanks to Dave Purssord for Playing Lead for me.

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.

You've been taking your songwriting craft to another level of late! Fabulous lyrics. A very pleasant, tasteful mix down. Rich sound.

A nice tribute to one of the best flat pickers I have ever heard. We're going to miss him.
Lyrics inspired by Albert Einstein? Lady . . . You got style!
Refreshing. I like the contrast between the playful sound of the music and the seriousness of the topic.
I noticed you updated this song! Very Pretty Terry!
This seems to float. Very enjoyable.
This is like a leaf floating away on a stream. A GREAT 4 minute ride!
Thought provoking. It gives me a sick feeling when I think about how we are all being manipulated.
A very thoughtful tribute, beautifully played.
Hey! Congratulations! I'll bet if feels good. Nice accomplishment.
Go get um! Keep the bastards in line. Good Lyrics!
Big difference Terry. Nice work!
What do you think of recording this with your new microphone? I bet you could make the girls swoon!
Hope you don't mind. I added this to my "Favorites / Other People" playlist. I enjoyed this Adrew!
Lots of attitude . . . I love it.
Interest lyrics and great texture in the music.
Great way to start the day!
This song is "Out Of This World". You really got my feet tapping.
I encourage you to take another try at writing lyrics for this. It's a great track!
I really like this!
Powerful playing to match the message. Well done Roger!
