Sunshine fill my soul
Let the blues be the first to go
Sunshine can’t complain
If life shows us a little rain
Chorus
Sunshine through the window
At first morning’s light
All the stars fade away
When sunshine gets so bright
When sunshine…

Like it. I just read Colleen's comment and realised that I was bopping my head along with the tempo too! Loved that "oh yeah" at the end of the bridge.

The puppies and I really like this one. I turned it on and they stopped to listen and started bopping their heads along with the upbeat tempo. Love the happy visuals!

On a resent group meeting of musicians , I was reminded of the love of Latin rhythms. Thank you Bethan.
This is a tune dedicated to a los angeles luthier family ,Candelas, who build old style classic guitars. My fist real guitar was one of…
I wrote this over a year ago and could not get it. the groove was too slow and so were my hands. well tzars better.
the concept came from a friend comparing his new love with a ten round boxing match . I could not resist.
So, a song about today's World, first and foremost , without Greg Connor and his imput to push me on this song it would've happened. Thanks Greg, you're a star.
It's in my will, Greg, a third of all the profits go to you ....... sorry promised…
Wow! I really like this. I hear the "Wife" earning her 1/3 Royalty. You added some GREAT new lyrics and that chorus sounds fantastic.
I like the addition of the second guitar in strategic spots (need our friends).
Well done Roger!
Hey,
I just improvised again this night and wanted to share what came out. Usually I'm such a perfectionist and have to get every detail right, with the effect that I don't share a lot of stuff that I do.
Here I recorded the first voice…

Les Paul gold top with p -90 ‘s. Fender jazz bass .

This is a recording from my i phone off my back deck at home in Mill Valley tonight. Everyone howls at 8 pm for 1 minute in solidarity for the healthcare providers during this pandemic with COVID 19. its been going on for over 2 weeks now…

It's 5 AM in the morning
I'm burning the midnight oil
There's coffee to stop the yawning
Just don't care about a recoil
I decide to take a walk
A starlit night in the park
I'm in the mood for…
This is a song that I wrote some years ago
I wasn't satisfied with the result and completely rerecorded it

My head was in a spin. Lord, I felt so bad
My hands were trembling, my knees…

I wasn't even sure the recording machine was still going to work after nearly five years... Certainly, bits of me don't work anymore... But, surprisingly, I got this done in 24 hours, start to finish... Strange old world…
Have you ever felt like it was YOU who were the problem? If you haven't, then you're missing out on one of the purest forms of self loathing that humanity has to offer. This is dedicated to the fine soul who actually did find something lovable…
I hope Brian (one of us Proods) will forgive me for posting this before we could get together to work on it further. He first played it for me a few months ago and I've been obsessively tweaking it every chance I could get.
I like to imagine…
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
Oh, and GREAT PIPES part!
I like the "leave it at that for now" intro! Let the listener fill in the background; you've sketched out the foreground quite nicely.
Well done!
Well-crafted song and production. Good job Greg!
This is really poignant. Such heartfelt storytelling. I feel like it should be the soundtrack to a Ken Burns movie. Just excellent all around! Instant fav!,!
That's great Greg, what a Tapestry you weaved through words and music.
Oh yes. Love the pictures you're painting in my mind.
What a toe tapper.... I love the lyrics and tunes. You can just be the sun shine getting brighter and brighter as you sing this tune.
That's really fun! What a great topic for a song ha ha. Well done.
Really fun song and you guitar playing is amazing :) The lyrics very uplifting ....needing that!

Came back for another! Wait!!! It feels like I’ve heard this before. Woodchucks!!! (Lame groundhogs day reference) Love this song. And glad you made it without breaking something
too funny...great chorus!! ...... you win
OMG! Hilarious!!!!! True story? Just a pigment of your imagination maybe? Woodchuck hallucinations indicate a need for MORE WINE!
Came back for another listen. Love this so much. I can imagine you doing a whole album about historic subjects. I’d definitely listen to that!
Amazing lyrics. Wonder song and nice tribute.
Comments made by Greg Connor
I like the chords and that 12 string. That echo in the end is priceless.
You are cooking with this! I love it.
I love those jazzy moves. Great imagery describing the balancing act that some relationships go through. That was fun!

this is beautiful!
Ohhhhh ..... that’s smooth!
Nice picking and good lyrics
Reminds me a lot of Robert Sumlin.
Unique with a few fun twists like “we still don’t know how long to wait .... forever”. Love it
Great blues vibe on this one.
Excellent
Love it!
Nice clear recordings and excellent groove.
Good stuff. It's easy to slip into this music.
I like your style! Good song performed by talented musicians
This just sounds like fun.
This gets my feet tapping! Great Vocal supported by solid instrumentation. It's fun to hear you again!
Excellent song for the time! Very unique sound and feel.
It’s like finding the surprising soft side of some scruffy old characters
Sounds like you guys are having fun! Good song, and yes it does remind me a little of the Monkees.
