Recorded Last Friday - I sprung this song on Mark Imsdahl while we were playing music together.
I thought he did pretty good for never hearing the song before.

I love my mini van, lot's of room. I could try to make it sound cooler by saying I'm using it to lug my gear gig to gig but mostly it just gets the family where they are going. Cheers!

Straight cover, from a backing track, just because I had the urge and I don't think the neighbours would appreciate me thrashing the guitar so late!
The backing track pretty much sums up where my head was at when I recorded it :)
First of all guys, sorry haven't been about for weeks. Been down with Flu & this & that, got to say this song didn't do the throat much good. So many takes, as I coughed up my lungs half way through !!!!! Anyway, an old rant I wrote 6…

Just me and me banjo.

A little banjo-centric parody of the old Irving Berlin song, written after more than a week in -20 C. temps in northwest Russia. Brrr. And Merry Christmas.

A little tune to help me get through the winter ... used my 63 Fender Jazzmaster for the guitar tracks. This guitar has been with me through thick and thin and just gets better with age.

Nice to hear some other harmonica players around here. Great harpin' man.
Oh Yah, This is why I am such A Fan. Super feel. I have been there brother and that It. Enough said.........Evets
Ahhh, so gorgeous -- what a carefully crafted blend of sounds. You have the ear and great taste. definitely know what you're doing.

Too cool.
Wait up I'm coming with you!
Your line of credit is good over here in Dakota County, Greg. I have a full bottle with your name on it waiting for you… love the tune!
Been wonderin' if yer muse had departed. Just on vacation I see. That there's a Country Keeper.
I agree ... great mix, great bridge. Your various instrument voices always cooperate so well with each other!
This is a really great song Greg! I love the music too. Cheers Bee
That instrumental bridge is great!!!!!! more, more, more, Who -Dat
Very "catchy" tune. Love your instrumental mix.
Hey Greg...this one has a feel good sound....good to hear new music from you.... love it!!
good song.....
I love my mini van, lot's of room. I could try to make it sound cooler by saying I'm using it to lug my gear gig to gig but mostly it just gets the family where they are going. Cheers!
Ohhh ... lovely intertwining of mando and low whistle. You set a beautiful mood right in the first few measures.
Comments made by Greg Connor
I like this. Great lyrics combined with simplicity.
This would make a great Stadium Rock Anthem.
Another good one. You have some great guitar licks here.
Refreshing . . . right between the soft and the hard.
Good combination of music and lyrics.
You have a nice groove going here. I like that bass.
Attitude +Plus FDR - You Got Style!
First Rate! Nice going guys. This is a great song.
I think your *"Back Up Band"* is holding you back. I found myself leaning in to hear that GREAT voice of yours.
Lots of tenacity here. Your lungs may be coughed up but the family jewels are still clanging together. Nice delivery !
This would make great background music for the recent Carnival Cruise Trimumph disaster. I can just picture those 4,000 souls floating out on the Gulf of Mexico.
Poetry . . . Well crafted, and superbly delivered.
This is JUST PLAIN FUN . . . .
Back for another listen. This goes well with coffee this morning. I feel like it's the sunrise singing to me.
Outstanding . . . I'll drink to that! Good Gawd, the bridge is FANTASTIC. I like the scream and the denial at the end.
Another GREAT video!
Now I'm watching the video. It's nice to know creative people!
I Just found this now! What a riot. I love the interplay between banjo and guitar. You are my FAVORITE musician in Russia.
Yes ... That Jazzmaster is sounding good.
As Ron Rouch would say "Good GAWD" That's funny!
