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.

This is a mess but when we tried to clean it up it killed the spirit of it so we decided to just take off our critics hat and just enjoy the energy of it.
FOREVER by James Michael Taylor
My baby say she loves me. Gonna love me forever…
Another old one. I sort of call it my 'Ram' moment !!! As if !! Anyway, I can remember I wrote this 3 or 4 weeks after my mother passed away. Yeh, I know, a strange song to write, I like to think I was celebrating her life. She was a great Mum…
trance acoustic
All the recording/looping/synth were done on my iphone, using Loopy and Animoog app. Some post processing in Logic. The 12 string is tuned to C6.
This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

I stopped back for another listen this morning! "The Minstrel Show" goes good with a cup of Coffee.
I noticed the '39 Ford. My Dad used to have one. I remember sitting on the bumper with my shotgun as he drove it down the dirt roads in the evening. We always got a couple grouse for dinner that way. I was probably around 10 years old.
A remake of an old song, this is my version as I wrote it. Going to get the Good wife to record her version. Fight, Fight !!! Looking back Imspired of course by the Good wife, also we had just saw The Jersey Boys on stage at the West End. What…

The Legend of Munga Brown lives on!! Andy has the idea to write a whole book about the Life of our friend Munga Brown. He sent me the lyrics and I wrote the music and recorded all instruments and vocals

Yesterday Rick Babb came over to Fort Worth
to deliver some production stuff to the concert hall
to be used by Ricky Nelson's twin sons during their
performance. We had dinner together and he came over to the
house to kill some time until…
Another gem. You got me laughing.
Sometimes we're our own worst enemy. Sometimes we just need a little short term pleasure.
I like your optimism! ( it's not if . . it's when )
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!!!

Reminds me of one of those sparklers on the 4th of July. Good One James!
Roger . . . You might have to start practicing if you want to keep up with Fran!
Good message Terry! I have to confess though, I was thinking about the last "Hot Dog" picture you sent me, while I was listening to your new song.
Great message, and good positive vibe, wrapped in an enjoyable melody. Nice one Roger!
"One too many beers"? No No No Just the right amount of fuel. You nailed it!
. Nice riffs and fantastic guitar tone!
. . . Beautiful . . . Hypnotic . . .
Outstanding Kirk! Beautiful work.
Nice one Billy! I stopped back for another listen, and added it to my "Good Friends and Company" Playlist (Favorites on AloneTone).

Good one Roger! You mentioned "Remake" but I don't believe I've heard it before.
I'm on my second listen. It's very interesting but totally unexpected. Something about it is very facinating. It might be the driving rhythmn.
This reminds me of when we used to play together. Sometimes I miss that.
I just found this! Buck , , , you are the Master. Absolutely beautiful.
I enjoyed that ... Nice Song.
!!! Excellent Excellent Excellent !!! First Class Guitar Playing, and Singing! I can't wait for the next episode.
Interesting idea! You found a great sound!
Great Springtime Song! Here is the Springtime Playlist: http://alonetone.com/connor/playlists/spring-time-various-artists
That's pretty darn good, especially for the situation you described. It's really fun that you caught it on tape.
Another gem. You got me laughing. Sometimes we're our own worst enemy. Sometimes we just need a little short term pleasure. I like your optimism! ( it's not if . . it's when )
