I've been teasing Steve (SLKrell) about Rose, from Las Cruces Nevada, ever since he wrote a song about her for Valentines Day a few years ago.

Feel the wind in my sails
Heading toward a brighter day
No more dark, dead end trails
Looks like sunshine all the way
Aint no stopping me now
Been a long time in the darkness
Bangin round where I can’t see
Smell the fresh air through the window…

Lyrics:
You think you know what you’re talking about
You get your way when you scream and shout
Look all around, you’ll find someone to blame
I’m just a pawn in your little game
I thought you were special, that was my mistake
You thought…
Another silly little tune, this time about the world's favourite stout! (Edit: uploaded a new version. Fixed a few mistakes.)
Lyrics:
When the sun is up high, in a bright blue sky
And you're walking around in Dublin town
You got nothing…

Still good !!!
I just took a listen to this after getting a message from John Bennett looking for a melody to accompany his lyrics. I have enjoyed playing with all of you!
I wrote this one morning but gave up tryin to sing it . then I asked my buddy Steve Schostal to do vocals . His Canadian accent was perfect for this . Notice how he leads the beat ‘wow perfect.
I love Colabs
I have always wanted to get down to the Bayou. Maybe you could introduce me to Marie sometime. It's an intriguing thought to meet a pistol packing gator plinking lady.

This one's been sticking out of the shoebox for a long long while. It always shows up in a list of maybes. And it did this time…
Guess I just needed to say something ......
Well, the line's been drawn, we'll ignore and we'll invade,
It's best if you run, or get on your knees and pray,
After midnight, bullets…
Nice and jazzy. You sound like you are enjoying yourself.
As for Barbara, word has it that she has been observing a full moon through the neighbor’s window.
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff

I like your harp playing on this, Greg. NIcely done!

Beautiful Greg Connor song,It's good here a new one.
Nice song. Very lonely sound. What's that that sounds like an auto harp? Very clean guitar sound. Crystal clear production.
Reminds me of Neil Young. But I'd rather listen to your voice than his. Never was a big fan of his that way.
Ahhhh! Greg Connor. I love it . You are the Man(friend)

Fun song! I’d like to hear you sing that after having a few Guinness.
Yes, the long awaited springtime. We’ve been waiting patiently. Nice picking and harmonics.

Nice Beatles vibe

I think I dated this one. I like the guitar lick. The song really moves along well.
My feet are tapping!
Ooooh ooooh oh Mama! Love it
An enjoyable listen, and a little different.
I like the shuffle and imagery. It has a soaring quality.
Sparse and beautiful
This is a good listen.
Good story
Wow, what a story. Beautiful music and recording.
Great song written about a horrific event. I never thought I’d see this kind of thing happen in the world.
Nice and jazzy. You sound like you are enjoying yourself. As for Barbara, word has it that she has been observing a full moon through the neighbor’s window.
Let’s hope you’re singing about Eunice who just blew in and out your life. Good riddance.
