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.
Rosie is a figment of our imagination. I wrote a song about stealing her away from Steve:

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…
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…
I just bought a new Gibson SG Standard guitar with P90 pickups. I bought it after listening to Steve Krell's Gibson Gold Top with P90's.
Here is my first recording with the guitar.
Lyrics:
Sitting in my living room
Sunlight will be fading…
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…
Wow, that is some very fine harmonica-playing! Great backing guitar as always, and your voice is really sounding good. Also ... I've said this before in other comments, but it bears repeating that you do a wonderful job with recording/mixing.

Last Waltz Of The Evening
The last waltz of the evening
Last dance of the night
I’m making the most of each beat of my heart
Music plays and I’m holding you so tight
Hard to see it come to an end
But it’s going to…
Feel the wind in my sails
Heading toward a brighter day
No more dark, dead end trails

Well, I'm almost on a roll now - this little love song was written, arranged, and recorded in just a week. I've been meaning to attempt something like this for years, just never got round to it.
I'd actually settled down to finally record a…
Greg let me have another go at one of his songs and I the wrote the words and music for a bridge
so that way he has to pay me some royalties when he sells a million !!! lol thanks Greg for your inspiration and great music!!
This is a song I wrote this week, trying to capture that strange emotion you sometimes feel during times of great milestones in your life - good things happening, changes, moving on. Joy and melancholy all at the same time. Everyone feels it…
You guys are on fire! Each of you has the thing to compliment the other.
Colleen, I was thinking of you over the weekend. Thinking about how far you have come musically since I met you last summer.
These last few songs have stopped me in my tracks. Very impressive!
Just a little something I've been tinkering with. Lyrics and Music from yours truly, Nick P
Am I fool to love you
Am I fool to love you
I'd drive 300 miles just to see your smile
Here I am, but you want that other man
Am I fool to love…
It is easy to mock and ridicule, but much harder to learn and understand. Overcoming our own pig-headedness may be our biggest personal challenge. This song thinks about that. I also was rather happy with how my Telecaster sounds in the rhythm…
Girls aren't like guitars.
They won't just sit around waiting for you to come up with something interesting to do
Girls aren't like guitars.
If you're having problems maybe it's because
Girls aren't like guitars

A new one...
I wrote it on 5th February, and managed to record it in less than a month (a head-cold and lack of hearing in one ear slowed the last lap somewhat).
But seeing as the last one took over 8 months, I think I'm already ahead for…

Bullseye!
An excellent example of the power of collaboration being greater than the sum of it's parts.
I love the simplicity, and that emotional tug.
This one really caught my attention, well done guys!
Update: Paul took the first version and made it even better. So impressed with his talents. Thanks everyone for your kind words on the original. I know you'll like this version even more!
I was listening to some of Paul Lennon's great…
This was a write it and record it in one session song challenge that my songwriting friends and I came up with this week. Lions and Lambs was started thinking of spring, but it turned into a song about relationships... as they often do.
Greg…
This is the first time I have played in drop D
this is a Springsteen song that he borrowed the title from a Pete Seeger song..and I like the way Warren Haynes plays it live...so here is my humble attempt at it...

Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
be careful she could turn into our Desirea.......
excellent ...loving that harp
i agree a beauty of a track.......
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)
Ya just keep gettin better
Sweet song! I love P90's as well
Wow, that is some very fine harmonica-playing! Great backing guitar as always, and your voice is really sounding good. Also ... I've said this before in other comments, but it bears repeating that you do a wonderful job with recording/mixing.

*I'm reaching for my harmonica to play along! Yep, key of E I'm forwarding this over to a friend. We'll be tooting along in Minnesota*
Oh, that's sweet! I love it!
Great song with wonderful imagery.
Over the top! The only way to start the day!
Kicking Ass again this morning!
You guys are on fire! Each of you has the thing to compliment the other. Colleen, I was thinking of you over the weekend. Thinking about how far you have come musically since I met you last summer. These last few songs have stopped me in my tracks. Very impressive!
I like this one Nick!
Walking on the edge again I see! A little envy here . . . I'm only a spectator now.
You can really get some nice tone out of your guitar!
My feet are tapping! Nice tone on that guitar, and interesting message.
You got me laughing this morning!
Nice imagery / Story telling.
Ah the early 80's . . . .
Bullseye! An excellent example of the power of collaboration being greater than the sum of it's parts. I love the simplicity, and that emotional tug. This one really caught my attention, well done guys!
Oh this is good. The banjo effect was a pleasant surprise and the harmonica was the perfect accent. Bethan, as always you brought it home!
Ah . . . It's this song that Paul remixed. It has a little more reverb on your voice. It mixes with the music perfectly.
Is this the song that Paul remixed? It sounds good.
I had to stop by for another listen . . . DAMN !!!
Excellent . . . It's like this music was made for your lyrics. Great lyrics Colleen Nice music Paul!
Great Harmonica accent. You guys should get some leather pants and go on tour!
