Sitting on a bar stool thinking about Jane
I wonder if she still remembers my name
It’s been a long time as you might guess
Last time I saw her it was quite a mess
She called me names and made it clear
She blew me a kiss in the rear view…

What a delightful and peaceful song! I can picture you enjoying a quiet morning there in your pretty spot. And love the hint of the whistle at the end! Or was that a real bird?

Blue ribbon.......I love how you created this song from the warble bird whistle 💙. It truly does sound like the birds singing out loud. You have a true gift of story telling with your lyrics and music. This song truly is a day brightener.

I was flapping around working on something else with just vocal and guitar the other day. It wasn't going well, so I just started slapping the guitar and singing one of my favourite songs.
What I didn't realise was that I was recording it…

I thought I'd uploaded this ages ago!
Less chaotic 'Chaos' after I found a melody I was happy with, and the delay button :)
Enjoy! xox
P.S. I knew I'd seen it on here somewhere - it was uploaded by Jip under Third Quarter of the Moon :)
billy boy where did you go
sittin in a pile of snow
come on down its gettin cold
for the time is getting old
well we made our way to the old wigwam
frozen lake and wind was calm
standing bow did strike a deer

Found a interesting sounding indian instrument via the computer world and strummed out chords on my lil midi guitar. Added some percussion, strings and a flute.
Another Live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen back in 1988 on the NPR show Mountain Stage. This time a piece of Gaelic mouth music followed by 3 reels. Maybe the most complex arrangement of a set of tunes that we ever did.
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
Nice. Kind of folk/country with an old world sound. Do more :-]
Total instant fav!! How do you keep it up? Another masterpiece. Some of my favorite lyrics ever. This is a good dance song too! A real toe tapper.
Great song Greg! We should do this at the First Friday jam
Been a while!! but Jane is worth the wait...love this one...I may have to ask your permission to submit this to the band...this Great feel and lyrics!!
Guess Jane was a bit of a pain ..... good stuff Greg ...
So, bright and clear...and, here in Cowtown, chilly. Good hearing your voice again.
That's quite wonderful Greg ...
Another fine job
I haven't been on Alonetone much lately. Nice to drop in here and hear one of your songs though :)

I like this a lot ...outstanding lyrics!...great job Greg
The songwiting is typically excellent and your production chops are better with every release. Great job!
A real gem ....
Wow!!! Your lyrics just slay!!!! This is one of my favorites for sure.
Nice to hear some new material!! Great lyrics...and as always outstanding vocals. Love the bluesy harmonica!
Your song writing is so awesome. Very much as good as Jim Croce storytelling. Love it!!!!!
Great storytelling Greg! Love the chorus and a beautiful mix. PS I graduated in 68, but I sold my ring.... that's another song though...lol
Another outstanding entry in the Connor catalog!
Great song, great lyrics...you win!!!

Beautiful voice and accompanyment -.. . KA0YCO
One of my favorite songs too! I like how you belted it out. That's the ticket. You can feel the grit in there. Well Done!
I stopped by for another listen. It's facinating.
A rich and full sound. Beautiful
You have a nice clean approach to recording. It's enjoyable to listen to. Good song!
I like that banjo. A nice *"Feel Good"* song.
Way to bark it out! I Love Love Love it. Great lyrics, Great lead guitar. You really drove it home!
You gotta love RPM. That's when the creativity shows itself. Nice one!
That is really a cool sound.
Very interesting. I'm glad you explained the concept. Third listen . . . Pretty neat idea.
This just makes you feel good.
That's it Stan. I just added you to the people I follow. Keep them coming!
This one *really* caught me! What a great idea, and well executed. You have created something special here.
Great sound to drift along with. I like the tempo changes. Delightful.
This is one of the freshest original sounds I've heard recently. Well done. Second listen now. Billy Boy just draws you in.
Good for the Soul . . . Just like you said.
Nice song. I like the tones you got out of the guitar.
You really know how to deliver it. I love it.
Interesting sounds. Really captivating! And like *Breaking Light* says . . . Let's see the Belly Dancers!
Great way to start the morning!
