Here is my version of Greg's Cherry Pie...I took a little liberty with it and recorded a whole new song.....I think Greg said that would be ok!!
Tried to put the Sweet Ronnie Cream Cheese Mojo on it....good gawd!!!!
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!!

Ooohhh I looooove me some Drop D slip'n'slide Blues! D is for Darkness, and I’ll take Dark Blues over Sky Blues anytime. Ya done good, my man – I hope this isn’t the last time you explore the world of Drop D – most of my songs, especially my Blues, are done in this tuning. It speaks to me. It’d Deep! ;) Rock on!
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…
From the early 70's...an old Crusaders tune with Larry Carlton..I bought this licensed backing track with no guitars....so the guitars are me... drums , Bass and keys are the backing track..
I did this as a way to practice singing....why I am trying to learn to sing at 64 is a little strange.... I wish I had leaned to sing when I was starting out..but I always played in band with lots of singers and never had to sing much…
for Gene's contest...great title and inspiration!!
“How To Assemble Your Android”
Yesterday a box of parts came to my front door
I thought she came assembled, ready to be my whore
Tore the box apart and to no one’s surprise I was missing…

Love it intro is great, especially when Colleen says we are in Greg's recording studio!! (can I book a few hours?) outstanding song and great vocals all around, sweet harmonies!! I can't believe how good a sound you get recording live at the coffee table...no phones ringing, no dogs barking, no one yelling "turn it down"....ha ha........ I name this band LoDillCo
Here is an old song with a brand new wash and shine. Recorded today. It's a song about a fictitious girlfriend that Steve Krell created and . . . well . . . I just couldn't help but steal her away from him. In fact we both stole and lost her…
This song is really gettin a workout and makin the scene!! it's on Dirty Thump CD and most recent;y on The Sunset Dadeze Cd and i just sang it Saturday at a Benefit for a family that lost their home in a fire .......love this version very close to the demo we worked on....love the harp solo!! this song goes over very well at all our live shows...thanks for writing a a great tune Greg!!!
Written for the January Song Writing Challenge put forth by Carl Unbehaun on Minnesota Homebrew Radio Show. "Write about something new".
Inspired in part by the disruption caused by the Government Shutdown.
It's been a long time. Too many distractions and not enough time, or even focus to play lately.
Somehow this song, "Higher Ground" squeaked out from some hidden place.
Written for a Minnesota Homebrew Halloween Song Challenge

Glad to get some inspiration from new friends and an old video of Jackson Browne's speech accepting his induction into the rock and roll hall of fame.... As usual a first draft and a rough cut, but glad to be feeling the muse again...

This song is the result of exchanging "One Line Zingers" with my friend Tom last Saturday while playing a little music.
He challenged me to write a song about him and he would do the same at my expense.
The funiest song wins.

And you think that you might find

I am happy to post this first rough version of a song I wrote yesterday after a really long creative drought. It cracked me up because I'd woken up with this idea on my mind first thing after watching a stupid TV show the night before where…
I thought I'd share this studio version with everyone of a song that Greg Connor, Scott Zosel and I wrote and had posted here earlier as a rough coffee table cut. In this studio version, you'll hear Greg on guitars and vocals, and we added live…
I wrote this song while watching a beautiful snowfall a couple of winters ago - right after the 2016 election. I was feeling a lot of emotions at the time, and writing this one helped out.
I decided to record it in the studio, and we're almost…
Well it's been awhile for me. Busy summer and a bit of creative block all around. I'm happy to share a song I wrote this weekend to reflect on how tough change can be when you're in the midst of it. So many in my life are in the midst of personal…
