The wind is blowing hard tonight

Very sweet! Simple things really make this song ... like the slightly unexpected (to me, at least) chords at the end of lines 2 & 3, and the way you hold the second-to-last word on the last lines ... those musical choices are perfect.

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…
That's really really good Greg, love that voice in the back ground.It paints a picture to me, snow, open log fire, a Scottish cottage with friends. Oh and a few glasses of Mulled wine !!

(Remastered 22/10/2021)
I found this one while I was digging through the shoe-box for the 1994 songs. Apparently I wrote it on 10th November 1995.
Foolishly, I thought it would only take a week or so to record... I was originally expecting…
So I had this song, not quite finished, I sort of insisted Greg Connor sing it, he also wrote the last verse. Steve Krell added the solo break. I think they helped to bring the song alive. Oh yeah, I'm in the Chorus ...... hiding Somewhere. :) :)

Hey Colleen, you asked "Who did the scary cries????"
There are two theories:
1. It's Rita calling me for dinner.
2. It's my world famous Elk Rut recordings that I usually play every Halloween.
Well... I have a feeling that many of us may wish for a 2020 do-over. So here's a simple song to make that wish for us all!
Oh Mulligan

My jaw is clenched so tight
Even in my dreams it’s a battle

My feet are tapping! This is the stuff.
It's fun to hear how you just find these gems in the shoe box.
There we go! Good stuff!
Great song Roger!

That's really beautiful Colleen! A nice artistic way of saying what we all feel. Thank You!
I'm right there with you. I'm a button pusher when it comes to the radio.
It would be fun to hear your band play live someday. I wonder if you have anything on YouTube?
I like that Northern Michigan influence. Nice groove!
Lovely little ditty. You are the master of the quick statement and done song.
Yes, I just enjoy your band. Great singing and playing!
Good stuff!
Great reflection of what we're all feeling. It's been the summer of simple pleasures.
I love that 12 string sound!
Beautiful song. The pauses offer striking clarity.
Fantastic, and a poignant reminder of most people’s lives right now.
I had to stop for another listen.
Beautiful song, and production.
Good Stuff!
This is GREAT Terry!
