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!,!

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!

Life keeps trans-versing time, the things lost,the things to be found, and the moment we live in , Don't set out the dance, or decide not to go. Where ever you are be there.
AT THE RISK OF BEING ALL WET> Out on the perilous deep
Where danger silently creeps
And storm so violently sweep
You're drifting too far from the shore.
Chorus
Drifting too far from the shore
You're drifting too…
A song about my dad. Written a few years ago but I wanted my family to do the harmonies. Finally I got the last two laid down week. There are 10 harmonies featuring sisters, sons, daughters, nieces and nephews and I thank them all for their amazing…

The poem has been put to music once already, by one Christopher Goldsack, http://www.sundown.pair.com/Sharp/piratepoem.htm but I wanted to put my own little…
Noodling with the "art guitar" in DADGAD tuning in the Serra sculpture Vortex at the FW MOMA. No fx added, all natural reverb/delay inside the structure.
IF THE SPIRIT MOVE YOU........... Oh, my Lord done just what he said
Let the light from the lighthouse shine on me
He healed the sick and he raised the dead
Let the light from the lighthouse shine on me
Shine on, let it…

New original from me, hot off the old wotsit.
When it was half written yesterday, I was considering binning it as a throwaway exercise - I do that quite often. But I played the songwriting demo to someone else and, er, apparently I should finish…
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!

ooh , a little bit of the Beatles in there to my ear , love it ......
another winner...great chorus and I like the bridge!
Good stuff ....
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
Very pretty. I like the mandolin, and the refrain.
Another good old song.
You make it sound so easy. Well done.
Beautiful. I can see why your Aunt is proud of you!
This is one of my favorite songs.
This has, at least for me, an etherial quality to it. It's very interiging.
Very touching tribute and a great idea including the family.
Sad song. Congratulations on your 38 years. Just curious how many years you behaved yourself and how many you didn't.
This is a spine tingler. So now I have to ask . . . how does this relate to your family history?
Great Family Effort. I like the way it bounces along.
Sad song
Once again, great idea! The natural acoustics of the room really show off your guitar playing.
I may have set up the PA outside and play this for all the local canine. Then there would be some tail wagging for sure!
Beautiful What a great idea!
Great Message, and I like hearing that banjo.
Pretty acoustic sound. Very light and airy. I like the string bending too.
GOOD GAWD !!! Big Sound to fit the Big Legs. She must be a special gal.
Nice interpretation. This song brings back memories.
Different and interesting.
I think this is a masterpiece! You have captured the essence. My wife brings order to my chaos too, 36 years now.
