Lyrics and Chords:
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…
It's been a long absence from a regular daily practice of song writing. Covid and a major change in the family has distracted me for well over a year. Recently I've been lucky enough to drift back into old familiar things like wine soaked evenings…
"Destiny will find you when you think you're in control. Destiny will find you and rip you a new ass hole..." (Sorry. I couldn't stop myself...destiny, you know.)
It's been a long absence from a regular daily practice of song writing. Covid and a major change in the family has distracted me for well over a year. Recently I've been lucky enough to drift back into old familiar things like wine soaked evenings…
When you C reach the Em point
When it’s F all in the rear view C mirror
And Am reflection is your G only point of C view G
You C feel it Em inside
When it F becomes so C clear
There’s Am nothing that G you can C do
F Hold on to G memories…

as they say... "Damn you're good!!!" another masterpiece. I love the lyrics and that haunting picking on the lead parts... and the Greg harmonies!!! Fabulous indeed

Lemonade is an instrumental. It started as an early version of a co-written song with Mary Kealy Falk. We eventually settled on the 4th version of the project.
I just couldn't let this version go without doing something with it. It's the…

Oh Carl, this is a real gem! You caught me with the “walking the ditches for road kill”. That’s poetry!
Oohhhh, I just heard the “cousins” part.
OUTSTANDING!
Who needs a DAW anyway? The recording is me pressing foot switches for looper memory location number nine; guitars were recorded thru my pedalboard's various effects into my Boss RC-500.
Sometimes writing a song is the very best and only thing you can do....
Cold Winter Moon
Oh cold winter moon
And the wind that blows
Bring me a change
For my weary soul
Take away this longing
That fills my heart
Something is over…

This was one of the most hilarious songwriting sessions we've had in a long time.... One for all the single people still searching for the elusive LTR out there - a classic with Greg Connor - guitar, Mark Lofgren - guitar and lead vocals, yours…
The MN coffee table is back!!!! We have a new member too - Joel Schaubert, who joined Mark Lofgren and Greg Connor - veterans of the coffee table. Once again we wrote this song and recorded it in my backyard coffee table (hence some of the wind…
Saying Sorry ....What a drag!
Saying Sorry
I ain’t no innocent
I don’t pretend to be
I’ve always wanted to go through this life hoping just float free
But then today it all went wrong
Everybody seems to hate me
When I’m just trying…
The final Song for my 2023 RPM challenge!! Dusted off my acoustic guitar (and blistered my fingers) to get this one done. Phew! I love Latin rhythms and so I found a beat and jammed it up. Thanks again to anyone who listens -it's really fun…
Song 9# for my RPM 2022. I don't know how it happened, but I ended up with a bit of an alternative quasi-delta blues here. I walk a lot of country roads at night so..... The harmonies were fun. Thanks to anyone who listens! Onward…
Song 8# of my RPM Album. I love Persian scales and so I wanted to play with that a bit here. I managed to do my own finger snapping through the whole tune and didn't use a loop - I'm known for my rather loud snapping ability.
In another…
Song 7 for my RPM challenge. Thanks to anyone who listens :)
words of wisdom
songs of pride
try your best but you
can’t live the other side
keep it coming
try not to know
remember one day
we will reap just what we sow
do your…
Track 1 of this years Rpm challenge 2023 covering the concept of age and the effect on poor old Reg...
My heart beat feels like a strangers
It drums to a different kinda beat
The image in this head of mine hangs in defeat
It don’t feel…
Here we go..Song 4 for my RPM challenge. This one was a blast to do because of its simplicity. It's a bit dark but with a hint of humour. I never thought I would need to return to nuclear allusions in a song - it isn't 1985...oh well.
They…

You got the gift. Another excellent song.
Oh Carl, this is a real gem! You caught me with the “walking the ditches for road kill”. That’s poetry! Oohhhh, I just heard the “cousins” part. OUTSTANDING!
Pretty cool. This might make a nice backing track for a video.
I stopped by for another listen! Magnificent!
Oh Man … that is beautiful. What a masterpiece! I love the Irish influence and the powerful lyrics. O U T S T A N D I N G
I'm laughing all over again! This was fun.
That was a lot of fun! I’m tickled with the outcome. I think the song and everyone’s contribution resulted in a great collaboration.
Haunting and reflective.
I love it . . . but I don't remember doing this at all. Maybe we "raised our glass to the future" a few too many times.
Ahhhh . . . Something I can relate to. This is so close to home that you got me laughing out loud.
Beautiful 10th RPM song. The completion of an album you can be proud of. I love the touch of harmony in the chorus and the transition in the bridge.
I'm just strolling down memory lane (RPM 2022) this morning. This is a great song.
That’s a pretty cool sound
Very unique and almost mesmerizing. That's a lot of finger snapping.
Great harmony thanks to "The Good Wife". Sounds like you're having a GREAT time!
Great positive message and a beat that bounces along.
Great song! Congratulations on accomplishing RPM 2023.
I like this. It reminds me of a river with tributaries spilling into it.
This is one my favorites!
Excellent song, great message and instrumentation. Let’s play this “live” sometime.
