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 the many songs going round my head from when I was young. No idea whose version I heard and used to sing along to back then, but it was written by Larry Collins and Alex Harvey.
(EDIT: Done some research. It was Dottie West's…
OK, I'm hooked. I just hit the replay button again.
Great vocal synergy between the two of you, and the resonator guitar . . . well . . . it just brings it over the top.
Asthma is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. In other words, they don't know what's causing it. And haven't been able to come up with a cure either.

And now for something completely different...
Well, friends, I think I may have over-banjo'd myself the past 3 years. It's not abandoned totally or permanently, but since the weather turned I've been feeling the need to turn to something else…
Every Single Time
You just make me smile.
It would be fun to meet you sometime. My wife says we're done flying, so next time we drive to Europe, will stop by.
Ok I need a lay down now. Been meaning to revamp this for years, still in DADGAD tuning, original sounded to much of a dirge, come to think of it, hope this don't !!!!!!
First things first, many, many thanks to Greg for adding Bass and a Great Harp break. Don't tell my mate Dave, my normal Harp buddy, he's been ill with Flu.
So, fast forwarding to one of my most recent tracks--with guitar, flute, bass and percussion. 9 years doing this and my style remains the same, layering of instruments around a melody. I hope you dig it
The struggle continues for the decent working folks to survive in a world run by "greed graft and corruption." which by a strange coincidence is the law firm that represents most of the enemy's.

as this is my piano moment #5 set to video that i made this past weekend Oct 6th 2013. Take Note of the sea lion at about 2:20 into this.. it has survived a meeting with a great white shark!! and is still…
The first of an album of collaborations with Freight Drive Reprobates. I'm interested to see what we come up with next. Enjoy!

Found this old track while backing up my hard drive. It is an alternate tracked played at a slower tempo. I added a quick drum track and ruff remix this morning.
I haven't mixed the song yet - it's really raw. Hopefully, I'll have it done by next month.
Lyrics/Music by Nick Plagakis
Am I a fool to love you
Am I a fool to trust you
You took my heart
And broke it apart
Now you come back
Looking…

Nice & Easy
Wow! I had to hold on to something steady. Everything was rocking. Lots of energy there. You make a good pair!
Driving it home . . . That's pretty good James!
I just bought the Ben Harper / Charlie Musslewhite album. This song would fit right into that mix.
