Old Country Songs
Wooden Chair by the window
Gibson on my lap
And the time I spend strumming
Is never coming back
The sun is shining on me
Evening won’t be long
I’m living in the city
Singing…
I dont Know Why your songs always hit me right in the heart. I cant tell why,but this is what Originals are all about! No body can do a sraight tune like you can . My Hero
Five Stars my friend.......slkrell
Lyrics:
Crazy people, wander round all night
Looking toward the Heavens
At little specs of light
Dragging round their telescopes
And Binoculars
All the tools they need to gaze among the stars
Crazy people, look at what they do…

Crazy people, wander round all night

Hi Greg, a lady never tells! But as you asked so nicely, yes I had a lovely New Year with my little granddaughters, drank a bottle of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and shared a room with a 5 year old!
My son presented me with a new grandson! Yes, I had great new year! No, no hangover! :)Yet!!
Happy New Year to you and Rita

Winter Solstice
Written by Greg Connor
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…
The Minnesota Association of Songwriters issued a writing challenge this January to "borrow" conceptually from a writer that has influenced our writing to create a new original work of our own. Once you hear this, I think you'll get the idea…
I write letters, but I don't send them and they go unanswered. I take them out and rewrite them, picking up the words and clarifying the meanings. I wait in hope that a reply will come someday.
I continue the conversation when it's long over…
This is beautiful. It really pulled me in.
I used to participate in REM February challenges but lost interest last year with their new format. I'll have to go look at this Song a Month idea.

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.
I wrote this one yesterday. A little something to bring hope for the future.... there's always time to begin anew.
Thanks to Greg Connor and Mark Lofgren for their wonderful guitars and vocals on this one - recorded yet again around my kitchen…
A simple song in Open D.
It's a cold, and frosty night,
Stars are shining,
Shining bright.
A wintry breeze, through the trees,
Stoke the fire,
Beat the freeze,
It's a winter's tale.
Mull the wine, and cook the fare,
The larder…
Here's the second song I recently decided to do with a studio recording from one I wrote and posted here a while ago as a purely vocal version. It's one of my favorites.... I hope you'll enjoy it too
Singing In The Silence
Verse 1:
Singing…
After Greg Connor wrote this for me a while back, I kept listening to it every time I was feeling tired of winter, which at this time of year is several times a day. Somehow every time I listened to it, it reminded me of my dad. I know he would…
I was just experimenting with a new arrangement for my cheap condenser mics to try to get better acoustic instrument sound. I think I got on to something I like better. Anyway, fooling around with it, and with this traditional sea shanty (and…
Once again, Greg Connor has kindly added his wonderful harmonica and Dobro to this song. Thanks so much, Greg! Mean Streak Blues is a song about how wrongly we could deal with frustration....enjoy listening

The coffee table was influenced a bit by a good bottle of wine and some excellent Minnesota beer a couple of nights ago. And the result was this masterpiece!!
Upper Middle Class Dumbass Blues
I woke up this morning
Both my girlfriends…
Wow! That was a great bottle of wine!
We really took a walk on the wild side with this one but it was a lot of fun to just get together and laugh for 3 hours!
The coffee table gang helped me round out this one that I shared earlier. I love this version with Mark Lofgren and Greg Connor's wonderful talents on the backup vocals and guitars. I like how my ukulele blended in on this version.
Sometimes…

Great track Greg. Real professional sound.
Oh, that was on the home page then!

What simple, most effective lyrics. Cool song, groovy music.
Sweet blues!
The minimalist arrangement gives each instrument space without overpowering the vocals. This is your best offering yet
PC's sounds ok. The music sounds just Great.Love Greg.
I figured out what it is that you like about her.! It's your arms
Very pretty. Great mix.
Beautiful . I'd like to hear it mixed with the voice as clear as the guitar.

Another beautiful song. A very poignant request put to music.
Beautiful piece. A melancholy feeling.
Very soothing. I like the tempo change identifying the Solstice (at least that's my interpretation)

You have definitely captured a visual image here. I’m afraid we all, at some point, will be waiting out by the road in the rain.

Ahhhhh …. The highlights of 2021. We still had fun even with all the obstacles we encountered. Here’s to a great new year ahead.
I stopped by for another listen after a ripping cold weekend. Happy New Year Roger!
This is one of my favorites!
I love this version that you created.
I’m amazed at the quality you bring to songwriting and presentation.
Walking down memory lane this morning and found this. Big smile here! Great song Nick.
Outstanding!
This brought back memories
I love that Drop D and harmonics.
I love that twelve string sound. This song reminds me of cuddling up and watching the winter weather out the window. Beautiful.
Wow! That was a great bottle of wine! We really took a walk on the wild side with this one but it was a lot of fun to just get together and laugh for 3 hours!
I stopped by for another listen. Beautiful writing on your part. I like the blend of ukulele and two guitars too.
Listening to “My New Shorts” album. Good stuff my friend.
Beautiful song!
