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.

Made a decision to go their own ways
Annie and Allan made an announcement
Not even knowing how it saddened…
My humble tribute to Freddie King... Without him we wouldn't have Eric & without Eric, I would probably have never picked up a guitar.
This is sort of a pastiche of Hide Away & The Stumble & tracks like that :-)

my father was airborne 82nd on June 6th Normandy. like so many others he rarely spoke about it, just did what he had to do, and moved on. here's to all who have made the world a little better (this is a re post of a piece i wrote for rpm 2013
This song's going on 32 years old...
Some 12 years older than I was when I wrote it!!
I borrowed the title from one of my favourite madrigals, The Silver Swan by Orlando Gibbons:

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!!!

Interesting stuff! I like the fullness of the instrumentation.
Nice departure from my usual diet. I love it!
I like how this builds. It's easy to drift along with the music.
Thought provoking!
I think I'm going to go put my guitar back in the case.
This is the stuff! Right up my alley.
I love this! Nice acoustic guitar playing. Good story telling. *"Riding my thumb"*
I had to listen again to that intro. Much better now that I know where it's going.
I'll admit, the intro scared me a little but I really enjoyed it after that. It has an ethereal quality. Well Done!
Best *Hedgehog* song I ever heard!
Nice. . . . You make it sound so easy!
Beautiful and tranquil.
Wow . . . That's some guitar playing!
I like that bass. I like the drums. Oh heck, I like all of it. Great interwoven piece.
Very Interesting
Different and intriguing.
*" T I M I D "* . . . is never an adjective that comes to mind when I think of you. You got me smiling AGAIN this morning
Beautiful and Powerful Piece of Music
Good story behind the song! 32 years? It's as smooth as vintage wine.
Very easy feeling, like putting on old shoes.
