#RPM Challenge 2013#
Oh it caught me by surprise
I Looked into your pretty eyes
Nothing more than a simple kiss
And a moment like this
We don’t need no fancy cars
Diamond Rings that shine like stars
You never really asked for more
Than moments…
Wow..A herculean effort, this showcases your growth in arranging a song as well as any professional studio out there. Good song and amazing song crafting
Oh Carl, this is a real gem! You caught me with the “walking the ditches for road kill”. That’s poetry!
Oohhhh, I just heard the “cousins” part.
OUTSTANDING!
Who needs a DAW anyway? The recording is me pressing foot switches for looper memory location number nine; guitars were recorded thru my pedalboard's various effects into my Boss RC-500.
Sometimes writing a song is the very best and only thing you can do....
Cold Winter Moon
Oh cold winter moon
And the wind that blows
Bring me a change
For my weary soul
Take away this longing
That fills my heart
Something is over…

This was one of the most hilarious songwriting sessions we've had in a long time.... One for all the single people still searching for the elusive LTR out there - a classic with Greg Connor - guitar, Mark Lofgren - guitar and lead vocals, yours…
The MN coffee table is back!!!! We have a new member too - Joel Schaubert, who joined Mark Lofgren and Greg Connor - veterans of the coffee table. Once again we wrote this song and recorded it in my backyard coffee table (hence some of the wind…
Saying Sorry ....What a drag!
Saying Sorry
I ain’t no innocent
I don’t pretend to be
I’ve always wanted to go through this life hoping just float free
But then today it all went wrong
Everybody seems to hate me
When I’m just trying…
The final Song for my 2023 RPM challenge!! Dusted off my acoustic guitar (and blistered my fingers) to get this one done. Phew! I love Latin rhythms and so I found a beat and jammed it up. Thanks again to anyone who listens -it's really fun…
Song 9# for my RPM 2022. I don't know how it happened, but I ended up with a bit of an alternative quasi-delta blues here. I walk a lot of country roads at night so..... The harmonies were fun. Thanks to anyone who listens! Onward…
Song 8# of my RPM Album. I love Persian scales and so I wanted to play with that a bit here. I managed to do my own finger snapping through the whole tune and didn't use a loop - I'm known for my rather loud snapping ability.
In another…
Song 7 for my RPM challenge. Thanks to anyone who listens :)
words of wisdom
songs of pride
try your best but you
can’t live the other side
keep it coming
try not to know
remember one day
we will reap just what we sow
do your…
Track 1 of this years Rpm challenge 2023 covering the concept of age and the effect on poor old Reg...
My heart beat feels like a strangers
It drums to a different kinda beat
The image in this head of mine hangs in defeat
It don’t feel…
Here we go..Song 4 for my RPM challenge. This one was a blast to do because of its simplicity. It's a bit dark but with a hint of humour. I never thought I would need to return to nuclear allusions in a song - it isn't 1985...oh well.
They…

Well, Greg That made me Put on my "Party Dress"
Nice! Dig those fuzzed out guitars in the background. Sweet groove!
B.B. Connor!

A slight departure from the usual Greg . nice easy groove though and wrap around sound.
Great song.
Really nice feel to this, Greg. Liked it a lot. G:)
Another outstanding tune Greg....beautiful
Aw this is just gorgeous. Good song well delivered - and some mighty fine arranging, love the sound.
nice guitar playing, Greg!
Wow..A herculean effort, this showcases your growth in arranging a song as well as any professional studio out there. Good song and amazing song crafting
Some vintage country western. A rarity nowadays. Enjoyed it very much.
Greg " Marty Robbins" Connor has somehow crafted a tune that fits both kinds of music . Country and Western. Well crafted and exicuted song.
Nice and soulful. Makin that pedal board sound good.
cool tune.
Faved within ten seconds. Damn, that's good.

You got the gift. Another excellent song.
Oh Carl, this is a real gem! You caught me with the “walking the ditches for road kill”. That’s poetry! Oohhhh, I just heard the “cousins” part. OUTSTANDING!
Pretty cool. This might make a nice backing track for a video.
I stopped by for another listen! Magnificent!
Oh Man … that is beautiful. What a masterpiece! I love the Irish influence and the powerful lyrics. O U T S T A N D I N G
I'm laughing all over again! This was fun.
That was a lot of fun! I’m tickled with the outcome. I think the song and everyone’s contribution resulted in a great collaboration.
Haunting and reflective.
I love it . . . but I don't remember doing this at all. Maybe we "raised our glass to the future" a few too many times.
Ahhhh . . . Something I can relate to. This is so close to home that you got me laughing out loud.
Beautiful 10th RPM song. The completion of an album you can be proud of. I love the touch of harmony in the chorus and the transition in the bridge.
I'm just strolling down memory lane (RPM 2022) this morning. This is a great song.
That’s a pretty cool sound
Very unique and almost mesmerizing. That's a lot of finger snapping.
Great harmony thanks to "The Good Wife". Sounds like you're having a GREAT time!
Great positive message and a beat that bounces along.
Great song! Congratulations on accomplishing RPM 2023.
I like this. It reminds me of a river with tributaries spilling into it.
This is one my favorites!
Excellent song, great message and instrumentation. Let’s play this “live” sometime.
