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!

You know, you could write and record a bad song now and then, just to make us half-ass songwriters feel better about our own flops, but noooooo, you gotta nail it each and every time. Another Connor classic! Rock on!
HEAR MY FINAL SONG
Most were drinkin', four were playin' cards
Two were dancin', one he played guitar
He was singin' how she broke his heart
Some were smokin', smoke rings filled the air
One was flirtin', playin' with her hair
He was…

IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY
If it makes you happy I will tie your shoe
If it makes you happy I will tickle you
If it makes you happy I'm telling you true
If it makes you happy I'll be happy too
If it makes you happy I will wiggle my ears…
I'd been following the Euro horsemeat scandal since it broke in the UK some time ago. But the songwriter in me didn't react until Ikea found pony in their Swedish meatballs the other day.

It has been a salty year for me, performing with a great sea shanty group in Saint Petersburg. I've written a number of sea songs this year, and this one especially for the 2014 holiday season.
Sorry, to post just a clip here, but I've released…
OMIE WISE (traditional)

Oh, listen to my story, and I'll tell you no lies
How John Lewis did murder poor little Omie Wise
He told her to meet him at Adams's Springs
He would bring her some money…
i was watching the new BBC wildlife program the other night and it showed the plight of a young Whale and its mother and a bunch of sharks and i i'm basing this one on that........coming up from the bottom to the top........
MONOLOGUE
I found a hole, it's in the wall
And reaching up, I crawled inside
And to the stars I gave a call
To grant a better place to hide
I cannot leave the hole I found
The chapel for my dark despair
I do not seek to hang around…
Here's the classic sea song you know. The sea shanty group I play with is planning to record it for a video production. Right now we sing it like 99.9% of all sea shanty groups on the planet: straight thru with all the voices in unison on the…

Oops, guess I wasn't logged in before. I must have used all brain cells recording the song. Anyway, I had a lot of fun with this, and as you said, we've all been friends for a long time.
Remember Terry's radio station? It's been a lot of enjoyment.

DREAMING
Inside the dream I'm drowning
I struggle for the shore
I'm swimming 'neath the surface
I'm sinking ever more
While Davy Jones is laughing
And Neptune scoffs at me
I'm swimming on with purpose
I'm frantic to be free

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!
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!
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
Oh how gorgeous!
The smile at the end says it all. You've captured a tranquillity in the song there. A great song and vid.
Lovely

It will be fun to hear when the other parts come in. Merry Christmas Gene!
I just toured your website. Wow . . . That's an impressive life.
*Smiling*. By the end of this.
I had to stop by for another taste of this.
*Oh* . . . . . . This is good! You hit the spot with this one.
Ahhhhhhhh . . . Now I'm in the Christmas Spirit!
Pretty Song!
Nice beat. Interesting texture to the song.
Ahhhhhhh . . . . I've missed you.
Just found this! What a treat!
Excellent! Well done to both of you! Great story.
Spaghetti Western? What's not to Love?
I can actually feel those sharks. Well done.
Interesting lyrics complimenting a bouncing melody. It's a great way to portray frustration.
"Put him in the bed with the Captain's daughter" great visual imagery!
Original and it catches a person's attention

Oh . . . . I like this.
A nice ethereal quality to this. Well done!
