In memory of my cousin Mike, nicknamed Shovel Head, because of the Harley Davidson Shovel Head motorcycle he drove.

I can feel the wind blow
Lean into that winding road
Setting Sun against my skin
Shift into that high gear

You always have such a good mix of instruments ... each one is unique but works so well with the others. Great playing all round, but I'll mention the bass specifically because it's such an important "frame". Really nice vocals too!
This is another one for the RPM Challenge. This is some kind of 'song'... using a lot of repetition. Built with my synths and vocals and with the pressure of a deadline and a new rescue dog requiring most of my attention. Thanks for listening…
Another one for the RPM Challenge. This is one is a bit of a mood piece created with my synths. Enjoyed creating the harmonies for this one (I just use intuition for harmonies...sometimes it works and sometimes it gets weird and I usually cut…
This was the third song I wrote for RPM this year - took me a while to produce it. I started with a base line and it grew from there by adding piano and synths. Thanks to anyone who listens! My dog was playing with a squeaky toy while I made it…
HEAR MY FINAL SONG
Most were drinkin', four were playin' cards
Two were dancin', one he played guitar
He was singin' how she broke his heart
Some were smokin', smoke rings filled the air
One was flirtin', playin' with her hair
He was…
Another one for Steve, our amazing bass player….a BIG Planet of the Apes fan.
I never followed Those movies, but he assures me that he’s kept within the bounds of the narrative.

Here is a next song for my RPM challenge...(this is my 7th year and I'm off to a slow start...grrrr). I threw this one together kind of quickly and it sort of wrote itself- which is always fun. I kept it minimal and mostly used my Juno Synth…
One song for my RPM challenge! I'm late to the party...but will try to finish anyhow (did I really sign up for 10 songs??!!!). This song was written while our guitar was in some peculiar tuning - so I just followed along. Kind of minimal but…
Hi gang.
The Proods are back....Brian at the helm this time.
Our methodology is thus....one of the 4 of us introduce a song, and then we'll bang out a finished track in under an hour with as few over-dubs as possible. This one we put some effort…

As part of sound design for the production I composed and recorded this theme music. It was created ‘in the box’ using MuseScore…
It’s another theme song!

Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
Now yer talkin', Greg. We know all about them ripe tomatoes!
I'm enjoying discovering your non-banjo stuff. Production is getting really good. Clean, nice sound image... something that still eludes me.
Always loved this Greg. Smooth & juicy....Good enough to eat !!
Got the wind in my hair Greg, All Six Strands !!! Good One
Damn! Now I miss my old '67 Caddy convertible! Oh Well- too damn old for that stuff now anyway!
Here it is, the blues; (:-blowing:-)
Thoroughly enjoyed the video, the music, the song and the market.
Ok! Deal! It has to be red!
Laughed at your lyrics. Been there, done that. And my hair is right where it should be, thank you very much! ER
You are on a roll....very nice!!! oh and tell Rita to get you one of those.
Oh! Nice pickin! We could split the cost and share!
Diggin' on the banjo.
Man this is a road trippers joy, A man his girl and a top down toy

Impressive, you are cranking them out!
You work well under preasure! Great song
Beautiful
Thinking about Gene this morning.
Wow! This is powerful. I’m not a fan of the planet of the apes either but maybe I should go back and watch.
I like that stripped down sparse sound. It fits your voice and that relaxed cadence perfectly.
The songs that write themselves are always the best. This one has an ethereal quality.
Gently relaxing. Nice harmony. I like the minimalism.
“my Baby drives me crazy but I won’t give her up” … now that’s poetry.
Your music always sounds like you guys are having a GREAT time. Lots of little surprises in this one.
Nice to hear from you, it’s been a long time and you are right … we have enjoyed Alonetone for many years. Happy songwriting!
Two keepers on the same day. I think you said these came from the vault. I wonder what else is in the vault?
This is a great and positive song. It reminds me of my 4 year old neighbor. Her father could be my grandson. That 12 string really sounds good!
Beautiful and restful. I think I'll go get a glass of wine and listen again.
Ahhhh ... the blues!
I'll bet there are a lot of people who can relate to this song.
Beautiful piece of music. It’s remarkable what you can do with software.
Beautiful song John! Great message.
Well done! A fun little piece of music.
This is fun! I love loopers too ❤️
