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!
I dreamt a piano
with just a few keys
With limitless chords
and one melody
Caught by a cloud
who cried its last tear
it fell on my window
it’s been falling for years
Ageless, weightless
nameless, shameless
Ageless, weightless
nameless, shameless…
This is the fourth song from the Thomas - Lennon project.
A collaboration with Michael Thomas of Cave Street.

Michael and I always have something going on, So I'm sure there will be more.

This is a live cut from an NPR radio broadcast back in 1988 while my Irish Trad group Scartaglen was on one of its first east coast tours. Found recently on a cassette tape. Musically this was one of my favorite periods in the history of the band…
First time through, WOW, that is beautiful.
Second time through, I'm just amazed.
You have captured that lonesome emotion that washes into the feeling of something bigger than us.
The drone supporting the whistle compliments perfectly.
Third time through ... even better.

THE CHILD WITH THE BEAUTIFUL NAME
What remains of an eagle that's fallen
The roots of an oak tree now claim
To draw sap for the shade for the cattle
O're the child with the beautiful name

This is a piece in a microtonal tuning - but sounds very much like pentatonic in "normal" 12 equal tuning to my ears. But I work in microtonal tunings all the time and may be biased.
How "in tune" does this sound to you?

Kicked and punched, gagged and cuffed
They took him away, for what he's not
Then cracked his skull, as a gesture for his…
I usually like lyrics, but in this case (to answer your question) less is more. I like the way this hangs together on it's own.
As I said earlier, VERY PRETTY

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
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
OK NICE WORK
Clean straight away brillent
I like it,

Did you write this while you were out partying until 4:00 AM on New Years? I think I could learn a lot from you!
I like the sound of that acoustic guitar with an open sounding tune complimented by the harmony. Very nice.
Absolutely beautiful.
What a great slippery feel. You nailed it guys!
Nice music, and I really like the way you started out .
Perfectly Sparse

Interesting sound that you have created.
Interesting tone on your guitar, and intriguing playing style. It's very captivating.
This is beautiful!
Well ... I have even more appreciation for the piece now that I know what you are up to. I think it's exceptional.
I like it. It reminds me of Aaron Copland. I can see using something like this behind a video, or a mood setter in a collection of musical pieces.
Interesting story and totally unexpected, at least for me.
Great combination of sounds, especially Guitar / Organ.
I laughing out loud, nothing better than a "feel good" song. Go ... ELVIS ... GO
Nice full sound and it floats along just like a leaf on the water. The lead guitar sound is to die for.
I love the build up in this song, and the distorted lead guitar.
Interesting effect in there. I like the simple straight forward approach.
I usually like lyrics, but in this case (to answer your question) less is more. I like the way this hangs together on it's own. As I said earlier, VERY PRETTY
Reminds me of my hero Paul Simon. Great lyrics and the music is intriguing.
