wow! it's all so good, your story line "lyrics" are quite poetic, and your play is great and fits the mood/tone of the piece so perfect ,, i must ask if the tune or the words came first, or sort of both together? in any case this first first rate!! happy new year r
What good song! Your guitar/banjo interplay is great, as always, and your lyrics flow with ease. (Note to listeners ... don't rely on your computer/laptop speakers or you won't get the most out of the oh-so-smooth bass line. Use decent speakers or headphones.)
Well don't forget you wrote Pop!!! ...was that this year or last?...Anyway this is great ..you know I love your banjo playing...outstanding vocals and lyrics as usual...
This is a mighty gorgeous number. You have a remarkable all around talent -- music, lyrics, and vocals. Thanks for listening to, and commenting on, one of the Late Danville Dan numbers -- it sure means a lot!
Remastered using Ozone 5 Mastering Software,
Thanks to Robert Palomo and his new software. *Thanks Robert*

You will…
Well ... I tried to log in on my iPhone and learned that I am only a guest. Rita and I listened to *"Taking Back What's Mine"* over a Bluetooth speaker in the living room this morning and as I said in the previous "Guest" message, lots of emotion and imagery!
I'm impressed with your guitar playing and the tone from your new guitar too. Very nice!
This one is still a bit rough, but I wanted to share and see if anyone has an interest in adding some guitars, bass, other vocal parts for fun. I left the chords in the lyrics below, in case you wanted to collaborate. I hope you enjoy it…
One after another . . . Strong lyrics and a great melody. Excellent!
I see you decided to put Laural & Hardy's version out of its mystery. Good choice. We were making it much more complicated than it needed to be.
This is a song by our guitarist Keith. He doesn't get a chance to jam with us as much since he moved to New York. He and I had a lot of fun working on this simple tune, and it makes me miss times long gone.
One for the Peace Fest on the other side....it has a touch of the Irish about it i think.....

Deserts of the Higher Plane
Searches end, I had to admit
Mirages were never towns

Holding what I can’t, what I can’t allow

Sitting around your coffee table has been a lot of fun!
This just puts a smile on my face to hear it! Beautiful song you wrote! Thanks for letting us play along.
Back around the turn of the century a group of miscreants would converge in a basement on Tuesday evenings to imbibe spirits and play music. Here's a recording of a public-domain song from one of those evenings (written by Kansas Joe McCoy &…

Good start to the new year, for sure.
Love the simplicity in the arrangement.

Banjo is a perfect touch on this. You have the voice to carry this song nicely as well.

Well played and sung Greg. Wonderful balance between the instruments.
Oh, yes Iam surely at home on the skinny branches.. that's why guitars come with cases. Faved, Yes the Bose speakers do the Tune justice

Nice one Greg.
Lovely banjo, harmonica and guitar picking combination.
I'd like to try that some day! Awesome tune!
Sweet, slick rhythmic lick! Fun lyrics. Real nice harmonica work -- mighty fine!

Very nice tune. Down home goodness.
Lips Greg Connor, has really built a sweet track. The Whistle is great sounding almost bending into the pitch, Wow

Another strong contribution. It's great to hear so much of your music here lately. Congratulations on the RPM Victory!
One after another . . . Strong lyrics and a great melody. Excellent! I see you decided to put Laural & Hardy's version out of its mystery. Good choice. We were making it much more complicated than it needed to be.
Yes, I like this version too! Clean with just a bit of attitude.
Cheers!
Congratulations Grampa! Nice tribute to bring your Grand daughter into this world.
I can tell you are having fun with this! It's contagious.
Ah ..... Minnesota has created two new Poets! *Keep on Truckin!* That Tax Man has been circling around me lately too.
Instant smile! I can hear *"Sweet Baby Kenny"* blowing the harmonica in between sips of Jameson.
Pretty, reminds me of a gentle stream.
Nice sounding organ!
Reminds me of Iron Butterfly . . . I don't know why. I can hear Thetworegs singing lyrics to this!
Powerful Song !!!
Ethereal and Deep. It makes me stop and think. Good one John!
Still good this morning!
Sitting around your coffee table has been a lot of fun! This just puts a smile on my face to hear it! Beautiful song you wrote! Thanks for letting us play along.
I love it! I like the way it builds. So . . . is this autobiographical?
How about if I bring a harmonica Friday night and we do this song?
This is powerful. Sparse is the perfect approach and it accents your message perfectly. One after another . . . You just keep setting the bar higher!
