Written for a song challenge to bring awareness to the flooding this past Spring in Australia.
The song was required to have the phrase "water is rising".

Damn . This is a great original song . Seriously this is Ready for Prime time. Greg ,Pitch this song . I love it. its all about that we all love something that aint good for us.
"Hey Motorman" was written for the 100 year celebration of the Ariel Lift Bridge.
The bridge was originally built in 1907 with a gondola that went from side to side carrying passengers and vehicles. It was later replaced with a lift system.
This was one of the most hilarious songwriting sessions we've had in a long time.... One for all the single people still searching for the elusive LTR out there - a classic with Greg Connor - guitar, Mark Lofgren - guitar and lead vocals, yours…
The MN coffee table is back!!!! We have a new member too - Joel Schaubert, who joined Mark Lofgren and Greg Connor - veterans of the coffee table. Once again we wrote this song and recorded it in my backyard coffee table (hence some of the wind…
Saying Sorry ....What a drag!
Saying Sorry
I ain’t no innocent
I don’t pretend to be
I’ve always wanted to go through this life hoping just float free
But then today it all went wrong
Everybody seems to hate me
When I’m just trying…
The final Song for my 2023 RPM challenge!! Dusted off my acoustic guitar (and blistered my fingers) to get this one done. Phew! I love Latin rhythms and so I found a beat and jammed it up. Thanks again to anyone who listens -it's really fun…
Song 9# for my RPM 2022. I don't know how it happened, but I ended up with a bit of an alternative quasi-delta blues here. I walk a lot of country roads at night so..... The harmonies were fun. Thanks to anyone who listens! Onward…
Song 8# of my RPM Album. I love Persian scales and so I wanted to play with that a bit here. I managed to do my own finger snapping through the whole tune and didn't use a loop - I'm known for my rather loud snapping ability.
In another…
Song 7 for my RPM challenge. Thanks to anyone who listens :)
words of wisdom
songs of pride
try your best but you

keep it coming
try not to know
remember one day
we will reap just what we sow

Track 1 of this years Rpm challenge 2023 covering the concept of age and the effect on poor old Reg...
My heart beat feels like a strangers
It drums to a different kinda beat
The image in this head of mine hangs in defeat
It don’t feel…
Here we go..Song 4 for my RPM challenge. This one was a blast to do because of its simplicity. It's a bit dark but with a hint of humour. I never thought I would need to return to nuclear allusions in a song - it isn't 1985...oh well.
They…
Song #2 for this year's RPM album....another one from the basement in the middle of the night. Experimenting with minimal lyrics and a lot of repetition. The song probably has something to do with how we left our home of many years last February…
Thought I'd share something from my looper pedal. One fun aspect of having a multi-effects pedal & a looper on the pedalboard is the ability to quickly create a couple of simple loops & replicate them across several memory slots, then…
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
This is still one of my favorites!! Such a good idea and performance....
That harmonic player 97 that is really something. I like this one "Banjo Player is a lonely Man." I wish I could play like that...

Hey Greg, saw the video on this and its brilliant. Sound quality is excellent and lyrics are visually captivating
Beautiful melody and lyrics! I really like the bass in this one ... simple, perfectly-placed touches.
Super country track, love it and of course the banjo. By the way, welcome to Alonetone.
Every instrument sparkles! Nicely mixed too.
cool too.
Hey Do you know Rose too?
Wow this great home made music. So clear and Americana. You have a gift.
Glad you made it on over Greg, I likes me some Greg Connor songs
Just a rockin' along, cool as a cucumber
Excellent stuff. I look forward to hearing more of your tunes. So glad you found alonetone.
Your music IS what the world need now. Gentle, comforting, wholesome and true. Great video!
I love everything about this song.

I'm laughing all over again! This was fun.
That was a lot of fun! I’m tickled with the outcome. I think the song and everyone’s contribution resulted in a great collaboration.
Haunting and reflective.
I love it . . . but I don't remember doing this at all. Maybe we "raised our glass to the future" a few too many times.
Ahhhh . . . Something I can relate to. This is so close to home that you got me laughing out loud.
Beautiful 10th RPM song. The completion of an album you can be proud of. I love the touch of harmony in the chorus and the transition in the bridge.
I'm just strolling down memory lane (RPM 2022) this morning. This is a great song.
That’s a pretty cool sound
Very unique and almost mesmerizing. That's a lot of finger snapping.
Great harmony thanks to "The Good Wife". Sounds like you're having a GREAT time!
Great positive message and a beat that bounces along.
Great song! Congratulations on accomplishing RPM 2023.
I like this. It reminds me of a river with tributaries spilling into it.
This is one my favorites!
Excellent song, great message and instrumentation. Let’s play this “live” sometime.
Ah . . . It's RPM time again. It's great to hear some new music from you!
I think I hear that Gretcsh getting a workout. Sounds like you're having a great time!
Beautiful and relaxing. I’m pretty sure that isn’t my town. Oh wait a minute, maybe it is. Yep … you nailed it!
Merry Christmas to you and your family. It’s going to be a GREAT NEW YEAR
Beautiful lilting melody. Happy Holiday Roger.
