I wonder if she still remembers my name

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.

Uploaded just in time for the 2013 peak of the Perseid meteor showers of 2013, which I definitely won't see, as our autumnal "maritime" (i.e. sh**ty) climate is doing its thing.
This is my arrangement of a wonderful romantic tune by the inimitable…

Had a bad back just of late (working to hard) so i put it in a song,and my favorite painkiller is ? you guessed it WHISKY.
PS The backs feeling much better now!
My "banjo-centric" arrangement of this old minstrel show tune. I recorded it for backing tracks for my live set. I kind of wanted a fiddle solo, but I don't play fiddle. So in the middle there's a little "fiddle synthesizer" - just a couple of…
At last... I've managed to finish something.
This was written months ago. I was about to try recording it with one or two others when this year's decorating started. With various buggered fingers, back muscles, etc, etc, I wasn't actually able…
Great chord changes and build ups. Well done Andrew!

This is an old 19h century sea shanty (or chanty) arranged around clawhammer-style banjo, with a bit of Irish whistle, faux bodhrán, and a goofy pseudo-accent to Irish it up a little. Just in time for St. Paddy's Day.
Warning: the chorus can…
Writing this song was a very cathartic experience. This gamut of emotions took place in just one week - last week.
Unfortunately, I couldn't sing the first word without it sounding ridiculous, and so I decided to get back to my Northern roots…
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!!!

Nice Harmonica Playing Mark! I don't know why you wanted me to post this song on my site. The LAW is going to find you either way!
I'm impressed. Nice playing James!
You can really get some great tone on the guitar to go with those nice licks! That first beer went down fast. It's a *"two beer"* song for me.
Good *Old Fashioned* Folk Song
Lots of trouble . . . but still happy! That's the way to do it!
Ron . . . You got me laughing out loud !!!
Thanks Terry. I corrected my mistake.
I just got back from vacation and what do you know . . . more great music from *FDR*. It's a *GOOD LIFE*
I think I wrote this during the Perseid a few years ago. We sat out in the yard in the lawn chairs at 3:00 AM. Nice version my friend !!!
Fantastic tone on the guitar!
Good song with well written lyrics.
Thank the Lord for medicinal use alcohol. Take as directed by your conscience, and call me in the morning. You got a great sense of humor!
Big Sound with lots of interesting parts
I just found this today. What a treat! I like that driving beat, and the whine of the harmonica. Excellent Roger!
Powerful You have some great sounding guitar licks here.
Great Song // Great Mix
Still the best version of this song that I have heard. I was at a jam last night where someone played this song. . . *Great Song*
Great chord changes and build ups. Well done Andrew! ________________________________________ I had to go look up the word *"Dirge"*. I like hanging out with people who are smarter than me.
The remix really sounds good..
Beautiful I like how the Bass anchors the music and holds it all together.
