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.

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.

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.

The clock just seems to unwind
The silence gets so loud
Just a reflecting time

I got my paddle in my hand
Take me far away from here
Take me to the sea
Take me somewhere I don’t know
Take me where the water goes

Here's my second submission to the Stones Fest.i'd have liked a bit more time to play....but with four children under6 you take your time when you can or it don't get done...hope you enjoy as much as i did doing....another stripped Reg Version…
Oh yet another nostalgic blast from the past. I found this unbelievable backing track surfing the web some years ago. I usually never use backing tracks because they usually suck bad . But this one is like having mitch and noel at your side. I…
I agree with Bee. This pulled me back to the time when I had hair that went all the way across the top.
I think I'm going to have to pour myself a bowl of Wheaties (Breakfast of Champions) before I listen again. I need energy to keep up with all those licks.
Well now - this is a collaboration between myself and lady Jane. It's an odd tale about a prince and a water maiden, with a twist in the "tail".
Sounds quite 70's prog rock - hear it out for the twist.

Oh little girl won't you tell me what you were looking for when you came to this place?
You've got friends, but not many of them like to be seen.
Oh…
This was from about 4 yrs ago thru a Guitar Center King of the blues online collaboration. I was using Guitar Rig Jimi Hendrix Octavia on this.....pretty hairy sound right there.
This song written by Mark Imsdahl..I found it over at Greg Connor's ...I liked it so much that I asked Greg and Mark if I could do an electric version of it and they agreed...i want to have Mark blow some harp on it when he gets back from vacation…
Nice take on that old tune.
I used stand in front of one of those red buckets for the Salvation Army with a few of my friends. This was my favorite song to sing and play.
I took an old track that was a cover of Hear my train and dropped the vocals and added some new electric guitar tracks. I had just upgraded my recording setup and was testing some hardware and software when I did this. It has a punchy lil guitar…

New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…
Well the story continues...Munga is back and after his wife and Sweet Ronnie....they ran off to Jamaica and Munga is not a happy camper
Ron: all instruments and vocals
So I was locked in the broom-cupboard, checking out some old songs that need recording.
I'd just picked one and then suddenly this thing came out of nowehere. It started with one of those guitarist doodles that other musicians love so much…
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
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.

Morning Greg, Stopped by to hear the Greg Connor set. These are great tunes. Thanks, Steve

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 can just about hear those lips coming through. I've always liked the attitude of this song.
Very pretty.

Good story telling supported by good music! The perfect combination. I can hear Lady's voice in there keeping it interesting. Great collaboration!
Professional sound. Beautifully constructed with Lyric and instrumentation.
Zesty and refreshing.
I stopped by for another listen. I love the "Two Old Ladys" verse.
I think this is my favorite "Ron Rouch" song so far. You hit the bullseye here!
*WOW* That is some intense playing! Fun to listen to.
Still Laughing
Nice take on that old tune. I used stand in front of one of those red buckets for the Salvation Army with a few of my friends. This was my favorite song to sing and play.
Good song! My feet are tapping! Let's hear the story about the Allman Bros concert.
*GOOD GAWD* Rita and I are still giggling. . . Now that is entertainment.
That *SLIDE* adds the perfect touch. Fantastic song!
Lady . . . You found the sweet spot. Nice song! A friend called me to tell me "The Verge Of Sanity" was a *MUST LISTEN*
Great lyrics / Great guitar I enjoyed that.
I just thought I would stop by to see what Munga was up to.
Great song . . . and it sounds like my kind of lady too.
You really have some GREAT guitar sounds!
Oh, that hit the spot!
