Terry Brown came up with these dark, hardcore lyrics, asked if I could do anything with them and set them to music. He knows I'm not afraid of going there with a serious, in your face subject matter!

Vocals by Greg Connor, lyrics by Connor and Merry Bear, music by Bear.
And y'all thought the Hokey Pokey was what it was all about! This song is 4 dimensional – up/down, left/right, in/out, now/then. BIG THANKS to Greg Connor for fabulous vocals…
DREAMING
Inside the dream I'm drowning

Terrific. You created the atmosphere that fits your lyrics perfectly. Great song. I was imagining guitar sounds like Roger McGuinn's Ricky or David Gilmour's Strat in a sort of ocean wave sound.

I just want to get by for a friend

This is a fun idea Greg has, and I can't wait to hear more.
He sent me an acoustic and vocal track and asked me to complete it.
I stayed up most of the night jammin' it. :)
It's a bit loose around the edges because I didn't work anything…
Great job! A full, rich sound. Nice guitar work. Especially love the vocal harmony. you're a smart choice to collaborate with -- you really know what you're doing.

This (just in case nobody notices) is a desperate cry of protest against the suicidal car culture human has created.

Reminds me of some of the out-of-this-world music from 2001:A Space Odyssey -- I'm seeing the monolith surrounded by pre-historic ape-men. Enjoyed it -- stay groovy!
Very interesting -- like a ghostly. psychedelic, out-of-the-box style sea shanty. I imagine life on a ghost ship would sound like this. Enjoyed all 10 minutes of it!
Thanks to Robert Palomo for giving this a little sound engineering. Robert said " I mixed thru my mastering plugin (Ozone 5).

Oh my, GREG! I'm with Ron -- I love all your stuff, but this one really tops them all. A whole new. different level for you! Wow! I am totally impressed and blown. A damn fine song, well strummed and sung, and great lyrics. Love the harmonica too. A really fabulous, great job -- Rock the hell on, friend, Rock the hell on!
This song written by Mark Imsdahl..I found it over at Greg Connor's ...I liked it so much that I asked Greg and Mark if I could do an electric version of it and they agreed...i want to have Mark blow some harp on it when he gets back from vacation…

And this one too, like it :)
That works in a strangely hypnotic kind of way. Nice one.
Nice change up I really like this Rick
Oh yeah
I really like this.
I can only imagine where the inspiration for this song came from. *Good listening!*
Heavy lyrics...the music reminds me of something the Doors would have tracked...
dig the melody...has a late 50's early 60's vibe..

You sure are a ripping guitarist -- what a trip! You got that hard rock groove mastered. Rock on!
I don't drive. Dig the collection of sounds you've stitched together -- quite a colorful composition. Rock on!
