There is a story behind this song. I'll leave it at that for now.

Some time back, you left me a note on a song, Kingston Recliner:Destiny . . . You know, your verse might make a nice bridge to really capture the essence of “Destiny”. I just saw it and am wondering what "Destiny" is.

Featuring Norm on Percussion Track: "Pilón For A New Son"

Lyrics:
Searching for something
I wonder and roam
Hoping the truth
Soon will be shown…
I started out this morning thinking about Norm’s fantastic percussion and came across this song. Norm let me use one of his percussion tracks to fill out the song. He has an album of 94 collaborations on his Alonetone Page.

Greg, this song and lyrics are amazing and completely touched my heart as silent tears slide down my cheeks. A tribute from the heart for your mom with love in each word.

Snow on the ground. Wind and temperatures below zero. It's time for another coffee table evening.
Recorded live around my coffee table with:
Mark Lofgren - Lead Guitar & Harmony
Colleen Dillon- Ukelele & Harmony
Greg Connor…
Inspired by Last Week's Winter Storm where the only people out driving around in it were the people trying to prove Darwin's theory of Natural Selection.
Vocal addition by Colleen Dillon. Colleen also suggested the topic *"Winter Tune…

This is one of my favorite collaborations with Paul Lennon so far. I wrote the song with king of a bluesy feel, and then found a perfect marriage for the music with one of Paul's awesome tracks. Then we tinkered on it together to make it so…
Here's a new one. Well, a new old one, actually... And a bit different than the last one!
Something old, something new, something borrowed, and, er, something blue...

Song inspired by listening to Nick Cave and reading all the bad news in the newspapers. Enjoy.

Time is now to intoxicate the soul
Up high, private jets…
A Facebook Friend posted a picture of a
sign hanging on a tree that had the words
to the first verse. I couldn't leave well
enough alone...I Googled the verse and
found it was written by Dallas Clayton.

PRETTY GIRL
Pretty girl, pretty dress
Well, I must confess my heart is in a mess
Pretty girl
Some guys can walk up to a girl
Say, "Hey! I love you
They make it look like something
So easy to do
Pretty girl, pretty dress
Well, I…
These tunes have been in the pipeline for almost 8 months now.
I think I'm done with them :)
I'm looking for Rappers, Freestylers, and hip-hop artists to turn these
beats into songs. Let me know if anything turns you on.
I would be…
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…
The inspiration for this year's album. I wanted to make a track that would make both Neil Degrasse Tyson and Pete Seeger happy...
...I hope you ruminate on the size of the universe - and just what that means - while hearing the girls play.
Yes, it makes you think. I really like the "Landry girls". Sounds like a clarinet and a flute, but I might be wrong. Whatever it is, it's fun to hear the next generation.
I had a wish to sing along with Greg, so he offered me a piece of his Cherry Pie to sing along with... I added a few other bits here and there as well. Thanks Greg!!! This was a fun one for me... added some piano and a teeny bit of percussion....
Steve (SLKrell) and I have been competing over the same *"IMAGINARY"* girlfriend for years now.
And Yep . . . Steve started it. Well she's mine now, at least until Steve writes the next song. Look for Steve's music here:

I just heard from a reputable source (Steve).
Rosie has a wandering eye.
Watch for Steve's attempt at getting her back!

Psychedelic Folk. Ever meet that special someone in a laundromat? Ever do it on top the dryer? Either way, you’re sure to dig this clean groove. Compilation by Stephen L. Krell and Gene Eric Mann.
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
Love this song. Nice feel, great lyrics.
Put together nicely.
So clever Greg, a peach of a song ...... maybe a Giant Peach .....
You are amazing! What a great subject and cool to have this lovely look at history set to your beautiful music. I really love the chorus!

Great song and great lyrics...I am pretty sure I know what inspired this beautiful song!!
A great song to mark the beginning of a new year indeed
Gorgeous! Simply wonderful. Love the pretty pipes and the imagery
Merry Christmas to you Greg! This is so pretty. Love the pipes in the background.
I forgot about this pretty song! So glad to hear it again. That coffee table sure has produced some good stuff indeed
OMG! Best song of the season. What have you been adding to the eggnog recipe?
Still One of my all time favorite Greg songs!!

This was the first of Gene's (Ricky) songs I remember listening to. That was back on *EZFolk.com*
This is the first of Gene's songs I remember listening to. That was 10 to 12 years ago on *EZFolk.com*.
I stopped by for seconds!
Simply Stellar Andrew! You hit the mark again!
I like this It has a gritty "loose ends" kind of feel to it , like life is not always perfect.
I just really like your style. This song is so inviting, it's like an old friend.
I had to play this one again. Beautiful!
Interesting technique on the guitar. Very creative!
I really enjoyed this. That piano sounds great!
Interesting bridge. I didn't expect that. You know how to keep the listener's attention.
Yes, this is it.
Interesting idea.
I stopped for another listen. Good stuff.
Nothing better than a good lighthouse song.
Yes, it makes you think. I really like the "Landry girls". Sounds like a clarinet and a flute, but I might be wrong. Whatever it is, it's fun to hear the next generation.
Good harmony! The piano and shaker is a nice touch. Well Done!
Oh . . . I'm hungry for the *GOOD STUFF* now!

I woke up thinking about this song. I had to come and take another listen. It's the only *WASHING MACHINE* song I know of.
YOU ARE GETTING YOUR GROOVE ON. I THOUGHT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SENIOR CITIZENS.
