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.

One of my personal favorite recordings from the 52 song MYTHOPOETICA demo collection, even though there’s a sound quality issue (the bass had a bit of a buzz). This was my first time using a wammy bar – I liked it!
PLASTIC GIRL
You can’t…
It's great to catch up with you Vern! I hope you are doing well.
I can't remember .10cent popcorn, but I remember .25cent gas.
I also remember watching the movie twice before we left the theater.
Steve (SLKrell) and I have been competing over the same *"IMAGINARY"* girlfriend for years now.
And Yep . . . Steve started it. Well she's mine now, at least until Steve writes the next song. Look for Steve's music here:

Here is a new mix, compliments of Gene Eric Mann.
Gene didn't say this, but I'd like to think that he wanted to make sure that Steve heard every word clearly.
Thanks Gene!
ADOBE & BLOOD
Thanks to David Kneller
for bringing up the subject
and creating that phrase:
ADOBE & BLOOD
I read a lotta stories about a lotta stuff
But I tell ya folks, I'll never read enough
To block out the memories what…
Man . . . I like this.
Beautiful. You have captured the bitter sweet volitily in the January 2015 market for sure. I'll bet your 2014 piece had all major chords in it.
Update: Gene offered to improve the Mix on this song! This is that improved version. Thanks so much Gene! You are awesome!!!
I wrote this song earlier this summer, and had played it a few times with Greg Connor, fellow alone toner, and…
*Another example where the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts*
I think this live version is better than anything we could have ever cooked up in my basement no matter how much wine we drank.
Thanks to Gene's help, this remix has a lot more definition.
Bottom line, it's better when everyone comes together to contribute.
Of out tonight for a drink with a few friends but not til 9 so i thought i'd try to write a song and i think i have . i think i'll revisit it later to re-do but for now it will have to do. Hope you enjoy!! A heart-breaker for a Friday night…

Outstanding . . .
I can hear Melissa and the rest of us harmonizing. Colin's bass is keeping us together and Scott's mandolin just brings it over the top.
Great song and lots of fun!

Happy Sunday Alonetoner's.
I wrote this song yesterday as I had some recent events to ponder.... I hope you like it. Trying for a bit of a bluesy feel. If you'd like to download it and add some background blues bass or guitar, or harmonies…

I start smiling every time your voice pans to the other speaker. That's fun!
Nice song. Andrew has the stuff. I think he's right on, although it may not stop Colin and I adding a little something.
Think of it as putting plastic Pink Flamingos in the yard. It may not add much, but you just feel good about it.
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!!!

Powerful message, and it just keeps coming in today's time. . . .all in the name of God.

Nice exercise, writing a song before you go out. It's a good one too! *Well Done*
Outstanding . . . I can hear Melissa and the rest of us harmonizing. Colin's bass is keeping us together and Scott's mandolin just brings it over the top. Great song and lots of fun!
Hey Norm . . . I'm taking a walk down memory lane this afternoon. Nice Drumming! Here is where to find Norm: http://alonetone.com/norm
Refreshing Reminds me of rain.
I stopped by to get a little taste of *GENE* . . . . And now . . . . *Onward!*
Sad song, but beautiful singing!
Can't wait to hear your live version of this!
