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.

How purty!

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.

VERY GROOVY, VERY COOL!

I agree totally with what that Justin Otter Guy said below me! ;)

Those Monkeys are buggers you know!!

Thanks Bethan for adding the *SPARKLE*

If you ever make a "Best of Greg Connor" playlist on AloneTone (and I think you should), be sure to add these: With or Without You Cherry Pie w/Bethan Mathis Words Night Be the Weapon TV Dinner Listening to the Wind Greasy Spoon Shadow and Light Idea Man Farmer's Market

Very nice!

Quite an exceptional job, both in songwriting and in recording.

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

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.

"Throwing your feces straight at me" wish I would have written that!!! more outstanding writing from you Greg...this one and the last one are some of you best work...great great great....

Touching Song.

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

I stopped back for another listen this morning! "The Minstrel Show" goes good with a cup of Coffee. I noticed the '39 Ford. My Dad used to have one. I remember sitting on the bumper with my shotgun as he drove it down the dirt roads in the evening. We always got a couple grouse for dinner that way. I was probably around 10 years old.

Good one Roger! You mentioned "Remake" but I don't believe I've heard it before.

I'm on my second listen. It's very interesting but totally unexpected. Something about it is very facinating. It might be the driving rhythmn.

This reminds me of when we used to play together. Sometimes I miss that.

I just found this! Buck , , , you are the Master. Absolutely beautiful.

I enjoyed that ... Nice Song.

!!! Excellent Excellent Excellent !!! First Class Guitar Playing, and Singing! I can't wait for the next episode.

Interesting idea! You found a great sound!

Great Springtime Song! Here is the Springtime Playlist: http://alonetone.com/connor/playlists/spring-time-various-artists

That's pretty darn good, especially for the situation you described. It's really fun that you caught it on tape.

Another gem. You got me laughing. Sometimes we're our own worst enemy. Sometimes we just need a little short term pleasure. I like your optimism! ( it's not if . . it's when )

Good one! I like the harmonica.

Relaxed and easy to listen to. Very nice.

O H . M Y . G O S H I'm adding this to the Spring Album! http://alonetone.com/forums/making-music/topics/spring-time

This is beautiful. You have captured that loneliness humanity with a hint of triumph in the end.

Nice work for a first song! The harmonica adds a lot, and, as Steve mentioned, the tempo adds a lot.

The mandolin is a nice touch. A very pretty and poignant song.

Amen Brother! I thought I was listening to David Bromberg there for a second. Good message.

Good entertainment this morning! Well played my friend, and the lyrics are hilarious. I like your trailer too.

You're Right. . . Crank It Up
