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 had fun singing this at the open mic this past week.

Beautiful! This really captures so much of my experience (my favourite time for walking). This is a very well composed piece and the playing and singing are amazing. Thank you

Sometimes life tends to repeat itself if you're not careful.... Good to find a moment to recognize old patterns and shake them off.
Great help on this one from the MN Coffee Table Gang - Greg Connor on guitar and vocals, and Mark Lofgren…
I found a CD with a lot of my old songs on it, many I have re - recorded and are on here. This one I had forgot about. The Good Wife does her bit on it.
Another silly little tune, this time about the world's favourite stout! (Edit: uploaded a new version. Fixed a few mistakes.)
Lyrics:
When the sun is up high, in a bright blue sky
And you're walking around in Dublin town
You got nothing…
Another Minnesota Coffee Table Song! Written and recorded "live" in one evening.
Memories: Written and performed by John Bennet, Joe Passofaro, Mark Lofgren, Colleen Dillon & Greg Connor. Listen to Minnesota Homebrew Radio w/ Carl…
Still good !!!
I just took a listen to this after getting a message from John Bennett looking for a melody to accompany his lyrics. I have enjoyed playing with all of you!
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
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!!!
What a gorgeous song. I just love these lyrics and such a peaceful melody!!
As easy as that Greg, a simple sounding song, but I can hear the complexity of it ... just wonderful ...
Did you know the original recording was made by a group called Them Other Pluckers?
Absolutely beautiful imagery! Love the picking along the way giving such a quiet peaceful feeling! Well done guys!!
Beautiful! This really captures so much of my experience (my favourite time for walking). This is a very well composed piece and the playing and singing are amazing. Thank you
Great picture painting guys ....

Great message! Let's see if we can live up to it.
Where … oh where is Lady Jane? I stopped by for “Just a Minute “
Slide and harmonica … my kinda song! Nice lead break at the end of the song.
Good advice! Very relaxed and solid presentation.
I'm giggling out loud. THAT WAS FUN! Great song Colleen. Thanks for including Mark and I in it.
Great message. We need more of this.
Good story! Ezyfolk was a long time ago.
I love this! What a beautiful piece.
I like it! Beautiful message.
I like it! It drifts along comfortably. This would make a great background on one of your videos.
Please don’t send her my way!
Beautiful imagery presented by your two voices. Very nice..
That's what we need . . . Human Kindness. I like the electric screw driver sound.
Reflective quality in a very stark light. “on my own” does that mean unsupervised?
Ah, the good ole days! I'm glad they're behind us.
This is beautiful. I’m guessing bouzouki but I might be wrong.
Fun song! I’d like to hear you sing that after having a few Guinness.
Yes, the long awaited springtime. We’ve been waiting patiently. Nice picking and harmonics.
Still good !!! I just took a listen to this after getting a message from John Bennett looking for a melody to accompany his lyrics. I have enjoyed playing with all of you!
Nice Beatles vibe
