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.
I Can't Seem To Find My Way Home
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.
There is a story behind this song. I'll leave it at that for now.

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…
come away, come away
away from trouble
away from care
come away, come away
away from sorrow
away from fear
may the cool wind find you
through a thousand thoughts unsaid
gather you in
weary day behind you
and you can lay your head…
This is "Hands Down" my favorite so far.
I love that image "May the cool wind find you ..."
And of course the Irish whistle ... well that just fills me with envy!
Music and lyrics by Brian Vaughn.
I shouldn't have to say this, but I can't stand this silence.
And I wonder if you know what i'm going through.
It seems way too common for words and acts to disagree,
But I expected more from you.
I told…
This is what the creative process looks like. The music, especially the guitar playing if unique and captivating.
The singing is different too. I think it's the phrasing that is catching my attention.
Well Done!
So I dropped the guitar into DADGAD tuning for the first time, threw a capo on the third fret, rifled off something nice, and sent it to Movement to Contact for his contribution, got it back, did some mixing...
Here is the result.
YOU NEED…
THE GIRL HERE IN MY HEART
If anybody sees her will you tell her that I love her
She might not remember. Now she loves another
If you ever see her you will recognize her
The girl here in this picture. She's the girl here in my heart
If…
This track was made for collaborative purposes. Looking for a slow build of layers. If you hear anything that you would like to add...feel free to do so, and send it back to me...or post it and let me know that you did. TANKS!

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!

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.

OMG! Best song of the season. What have you been adding to the eggnog recipe?
Still One of my all time favorite Greg songs!!
Comments made by Greg Connor
I built up an appetite listening to "My Little Garden". I like this Folk Music Style a lot. Nice one Terry! Keep them coming.
Quite an image Roger! I wonder how many of us will be there to greet you when you get there? Nice swing to this song, and very relaxed.
I love it John! FIRST CLASS SONG "Plenty Greedy Bastards"
Great singing, Great Playing, and the tone you achieve on the whistle is incredible. One Fine Job!
You blew me away with this Lisa! Wow!
Finally ..... A Folk Song Around Here!

Igor ... You have the touch!
This one is good too, although, I think you hit the bullseye on your last version.
I like the sparse sound. Of course, I'm a sucker for just guitar and voice.
Another good one Roger!
I'm lonesome now ... thank you very much! You have some nice licks on that guitar and harmonica too.
Good Song, it reminded me of the early 70's style music.
"That's Alright" works better than coffee in the morning.
Great way to start the day! It was fun to find you this morning.
Great message, and unique style.
That fit just like an old pair of shoes. Nice going James
You really caught me with this one. It's addictive!
This is a great song! It would be fun to hear this played live in front of an audience. I'll bet you could really get them going!
