Or else your dreams could die
Like unto an injured bird
For battered wings, they will not…

Of the story of a man
Roamed the country in a school bus
People called him Danville Dan…
MAD AND SAD AND SCARED
I just want to get by for a friend
This is not how I would want to end
Mad and sad and scared
In everything I've shared
That is all I leave behind me
This is all I am
Hope I find a way
To kiss you every day
That…

WALKING ON THE MOON
See the Earth on horizon
Watch the Earth as she's arising
I hope the living are gazing
I hope the people are loving
Feel like I'm walking on the moon
I think I will be on there soon
My body's going to set me free…

MID SUMMER
A mid-Summer's night's dream
The days are slipping by
Amid the rushing stream
I take the time to cry
The end is hurling near
I stand with open arms
I sing the tunes I hear
While falling for her charms
She is why I'm…

Making my way to the County Line
Gonna leave my troubles far behind
Change my name to something new
My happy life is overdue
Everyone I owe is standing in line
If I was just broke, I’d be doing fine
Everybody wants a…
Greg, Gene Eric Mann / Justin Otter Guy / Merry Bear here to tell you, you have the magic. You just don't know how to write a bad song. This one's another gem -- sweet.
My new album, my first all-jazz effort, is taking longer to complete than I had hoped, due to my plans to set up a proper isolation booth for recording horn parts (sax, bass clarinet, trumpet). But I've been listening to the rhythm section mixes…
I'm almost done with this last CD by Wildgeas Music.
I'm retiring to new stuff and new gear :)

I wish to give many, many thanks to Bethan, Trevor, Michael, and Chris
for helping me create this collection…
Been a while since I posted anything...(working on a secret project) anyway been feelin the blues lately so I decided to record this old blues tune...the lead guitar was recorded in one take so please dismiss some clams and relentless wanking…
In an online course on Einstein's miracle year of 1905 we had to do a creative project and I was going to submit this but never did. Hope you think it's funny.

Digging that bass line. Hauntingly sweet vocals. A great mix down and mastering of sound. Great flavor, nice colors. Rock on!
Love me some nasty, grungy guitar.
Sweet -- I really dig this groove. I'm eating up this delicious melody. It really speaks to me. Great job!
Jazz it up!
Wildgease, you never fail to entertain. You know the art of producing a catchy tuned. Rock on!
Oh so groovy!
DIG!
I love me some Ron! I watched six Andy & Ron vids on YouTube last night. You're an amazing, sweet, awesome guitarist! ROCK ON!
I really dig this number, but most especially the blend of vocals -- that really does it for me.
This is quite groovy. The backup vocal tracks have a sweet, charming quality. You pan and mix-down quite masterfully.
I am amazed, stunned, and blown away. I keep asking myself, "Can anyone really be this good?" WOW!!!
Wow, wow, wow, wow, and wow!
Greg Connor RULES! But so do you! ;)
