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.

Closure The look in your Eyes
Took me by supprise
back to a better place
Where I could feel
Oh how we breathed the air feels much lighter now.
You talked of us.
We spoke of trust
I heard your words today
A promise i'll keep
if you should…
I got me a new mic and a pre-amp and I picked up the Jumbo Eko (I'll do this again when my fingertips have recovered). I tried to do finger picking when I was a teen, but didn't pursue it as it seemed like too much hard work at the time. Today…
This is the third, maybe forth time I recorded this tune.
I like this one best.
taken by surprise
a fine disguise
they came from across the sea
always moving closer
my eyes could see
then they called in the calvary
First just a…
My attempt at Folk music !!!! I blame Seth Lakeman, after seeing him in concert this popped out. Been meaning to re-record it for months, now seemed a good time....... as we survived the Cruise !!!!
I've posted this "Naked" version because Mrs Russe wanted me to... :-)
It wasn't "finished" in my mind - there was a certain amount of "orchestration" to come.
But I ended up liking the starkness of this version.
The original intention…
Here we go.
This one started out one morning several weeks ago when the sun was still shining...
If it's as wet and dark as it is here, just close your eyes, I'm sure you can imagine it if you try hard enough...
Lollies, chips, and beer…
Oh,
Iron jaws, wrapped around my legs,
Try to gnaw, but why would I want to.
Why would I want to.
Oh,
Fresh cut gauze, soaking lips,
Trying not to fall, but why would I want to.
Why would I want to.
Silent pines, know my name
Even…
Old timey'st of versions. reminiscent of a deserting war warn civil war solder heading back to see a lady left behind. Close your eyes and try to smell the camp fire and burned coffee.
Just in time for the big 2012 election!
*** BANJO WARNING ***
Just me and me banjo.
Inspired by a story my journalist daughter in Moscow just published. She was too small when we moved to Russia to remember that politicians shaking hands…
I love it Robert! Your song is like a breath of fresh air. Well done my friend!
The banjo sounds fantastic, and by the way, I thought the *"BANJO WARNING"* WAS A NICE TOUCH.

I like the sound of "Drop D" Tuning.
Key of G . . . I was playing right along with my trusty harmonica.
Great *"Feel Good"* Song. Makes me want to fill the car up and take a drive.
I love the sound of acoustic guitar. Nice song, nice singing, and nice playing! It reminded me a little of David Wilcox.
