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…
Having another listen for that guitar sound :)
Funnily enough, my SG and Explorer have swapped pickups (wonder if this had anything to do with it?). The SG has come off slightly better I think, been using it a lot last few days - slightly more, er, raucous than this, but it can do these sounds as well now.

I hope you don't mind if I slap a track of acoustic lead guitar to this. Four bars into this and I was swiftly adjusting the tuning on my new Yamaha, and then... well, keep an eye and ear on your email.

Lay in bed no sleep to be found
And the shadows dance on walls
After the Sun goes down
Just a reflecting time
The clock just seems to unwind
The silence gets so loud
Just a reflecting time

Take me somewhere I don’t know
Take me where the water goes
Start out fast, then go slow

Now this is different! Love the interesting rhythm and how it all began. Delicious lyrics! ;) Love those bluesy licks. Superb vocals as always. Thanks for the big smile -- this was a lot of fun to hear and visualize.

When the G days are short, and the C evening’s so D long
And the C wind is D shaking the G trees
When the cold snow crunches C beneath your D feet
And your C cheeks are D…
So gorgeous, I tremble in awe as I listen. Remarkable lyrics, and the new vocals and additional flute are magical as well and appropriate for this fantastic song. You're the man!

Hey, everyone's getting into P90s! (Mine are in an Explorer - kind of an incongruous mix, but sounds great when when I can get up the strength to put it on!)
The SG sounds FAB!! And it's a very cool song... all sentimental guitarists know exactly what you mean :)

One day as I was turning into my driveway I saw Rita on her porch. She's a lot like me.

It has been a salty year for me, performing with a great sea shanty group in Saint Petersburg. I've written a number of sea songs this year, and this one especially for the 2014 holiday season.
Sorry, to post just a clip here, but I've released…

Morning Greg, Stopped by to hear the Greg Connor set. These are great tunes. Thanks, Steve
Having another listen for that guitar sound :) Funnily enough, my SG and Explorer have swapped pickups (wonder if this had anything to do with it?). The SG has come off slightly better I think, been using it a lot last few days - slightly more, er, raucous than this, but it can do these sounds as well now.
So, it runs in the family I see. Another great composition - endearing lyrics, great playing (and I love the whistles conversing with each other). :)
Sweet hearts and guitars, that extra limb which grows with us until it has become us. love this one deeply Greg.
I hope you don't mind if I slap a track of acoustic lead guitar to this. Four bars into this and I was swiftly adjusting the tuning on my new Yamaha, and then... well, keep an eye and ear on your email.

Now this is different! Love the interesting rhythm and how it all began. Delicious lyrics! ;) Love those bluesy licks. Superb vocals as always. Thanks for the big smile -- this was a lot of fun to hear and visualize.
Your music is so gorgeous, so delicious, so moving. You really touch me, reaching in deep. Blessings to you!

I stopped by for another listen this morning. Man . . . . This is pretty!
Wow . . . I had to strap myself in, just to hold on. Excellent start to the new year!
Great way to start the New Year
Ah . . . Good Times!
Now the blood is pumping!
Short and Sweet. Good message.
Very Smooth! Let's hope the new year comes in that way too!
*AND NOW THAT I'M LOGGED IN* . . . . . It looks like I have accidently added a little humor as well.
Sad and beautiful at the same time. A good look into the lives we lead.
I love this! I wish I had heard it before we put the other version up. I completely missed it until now.
It will be fun to hear when the other parts come in. Merry Christmas Gene!
I just toured your website. Wow . . . That's an impressive life.
*Smiling*. By the end of this.
I had to stop by for another taste of this.
*Oh* . . . . . . This is good! You hit the spot with this one.
Ahhhhhhhh . . . Now I'm in the Christmas Spirit!
Pretty Song!
Nice beat. Interesting texture to the song.
Ahhhhhhh . . . . I've missed you.
Just found this! What a treat!
