Trading Smiles
Trading smiles on a cloudy day
Wish good fortune come your way
A passing glance, I’m on my way
Trading smiles
Courtesy seems all but gone
No idea what went wrong
For most of us, it’s been too long

Lyrics
Cry of Love
Cry of love, heard in the meadow
Watching the wind blow
With love in the air
Cry of love, answered by another
Who courts the same lovers
With sounds of despair
Cry of love, heard in the daylight
Still crying…
My goodness, my listens this evening have been such a pleasure.
A beautiful song, and of course he does Greg! Look at him, isn't he gorgeous?
Cool banjo!
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…

Pain of Loss
I’m sure i can hear a whisper, calling out the answers in the distance
the voices of a thousand men who have passed this way before
The path has been wandered a million times then they have walked through the…
Gary and I did something good.
ONE AND ONLY
How many times have you been captured by a camera
With no one really knowing who you are
Caught in the sight lines in the background
In the corner of their eyes
Never looking closely at the…
Straight cover, from a backing track, just because I had the urge and I don't think the neighbours would appreciate me thrashing the guitar so late!
The backing track pretty much sums up where my head was at when I recorded it :)
First of all guys, sorry haven't been about for weeks. Been down with Flu & this & that, got to say this song didn't do the throat much good. So many takes, as I coughed up my lungs half way through !!!!! Anyway, an old rant I wrote 6…
This would make great background music for the recent Carnival Cruise Trimumph disaster.
I can just picture those 4,000 souls floating out on the Gulf of Mexico.
This is one of the things I was fiddling with when I sang Me and Bobby McGee as a distraction last week.
I'm working on finding out how to get acoustic stuff down consistently and effectively within the confines of what I've got here - I wasn…
Greg let me have another go at one of his songs and I the wrote the words and music for a bridge
so that way he has to pay me some royalties when he sells a million !!! lol thanks Greg for your inspiration and great music!!
First of my rpm traks,, this year i am going to try to learn a bit about composing for midi orchestra, with that in mind i have began (in jan) to read several books on midi orchestration, orchestration and counterpoint,,, while these will probably…

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…
A little banjo-centric parody of the old Irving Berlin song, written after more than a week in -20 C. temps in northwest Russia. Brrr. And Merry Christmas.

A little tune to help me get through the winter ... used my 63 Fender Jazzmaster for the guitar tracks. This guitar has been with me through thick and thin and just gets better with age.
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
beautiful and sweet Greg
You are on a roll Greg...this one is a hit!!!
Great Message, Fine and true long note on the Irish Whistle, Classic Greg Connor Original, I am Your Fan...Steve
Very nice indeed Greg.
My goodness, my listens this evening have been such a pleasure. A beautiful song, and of course he does Greg! Look at him, isn't he gorgeous? Cool banjo!
Like the words. I should play banjo again, haven't in a long time.
Beautiful tune! He won the fight but the lady didn't wait for him, no? I think that's her, running away around 3:45...
Are those antlers or is he just happy to see her
Dang you, Greg. Now I have a strong desire to stuff that cheap shrieking plywood reso of mine in the woodstove and get one that sounds like this!
loving that classic song writing style @Greg Conner
this one nicely composed!
What lovely featured slide playing. Great song Greg!
Big grins for your lyrics. Been there, thinking that. Gawd but I'm glad we sold that old box of a minivan years ago. ER
Go Greg.
Looooong road, yup thats a real deep feel. Wow love it, Slidey right into Faved
Slip slidin' away, holdin' on just a little farther down that road
well played.
I love me some Greg Connor music in the morning.
Love the laid back approach. Great lyrics! John B.
My mom was an avid bird watcher. The clip of the cardinal finch reminded me of her... it was her favorite of favorite birds.
Comments made by Greg Connor
I like this. Great lyrics combined with simplicity.
This would make a great Stadium Rock Anthem.
Another good one. You have some great guitar licks here.
Refreshing . . . right between the soft and the hard.
Good combination of music and lyrics.
You have a nice groove going here. I like that bass.
Attitude +Plus FDR - You Got Style!
First Rate! Nice going guys. This is a great song.
I think your *"Back Up Band"* is holding you back. I found myself leaning in to hear that GREAT voice of yours.
Lots of tenacity here. Your lungs may be coughed up but the family jewels are still clanging together. Nice delivery !
This would make great background music for the recent Carnival Cruise Trimumph disaster. I can just picture those 4,000 souls floating out on the Gulf of Mexico.
Poetry . . . Well crafted, and superbly delivered.
This is JUST PLAIN FUN . . . .
Back for another listen. This goes well with coffee this morning. I feel like it's the sunrise singing to me.
Outstanding . . . I'll drink to that! Good Gawd, the bridge is FANTASTIC. I like the scream and the denial at the end.
Another GREAT video!
Now I'm watching the video. It's nice to know creative people!
I Just found this now! What a riot. I love the interplay between banjo and guitar. You are my FAVORITE musician in Russia.
Yes ... That Jazzmaster is sounding good.
As Ron Rouch would say "Good GAWD" That's funny!
