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.

Here's a traditional American tune I first heard down in the Ozarks when I was maybe 5 years old. Just clawhammer banjo and vocals. The first verse is one I remember. I made up the rest. I was gonna go from coast to coast but I ran out of time…
Twenty Dollar Doctor is the second single released by Vinyette for their upcoming album Every Little Mouse Run! Watch the music video too! This is funky avant-garde rock!
A saucy little ditty from the Jip and LJ laboratory. The first thing I've sung for 3 weeks (been resting a very strained voice - eek!)
I'm having a party, I'm inviting everyone
There'll be much frivolity, booze flowing, so much fun
I may…
I jumped on Chunks tune from over on Songcrafters...Thanks Chunk

I'd been following the Euro horsemeat scandal since it broke in the UK some time ago. But the songwriter in me didn't react until Ikea found pony in their Swedish meatballs the other day.
Alonetoners - you're hearing it first!

I thought I'd uploaded this ages ago!
Less chaotic 'Chaos' after I found a melody I was happy with, and the delay button :)
Enjoy! xox
P.S. I knew I'd seen it on here somewhere - it was uploaded by Jip under Third Quarter of the Moon :)
I found myself playing along with you on this today.
Did you, or Jip write this? It's beautiful.
By the way, It sounds good with fingerpick acoustic guitar back.
Facebook is a horrible thing. The real world keeps intruding into the perfectly peaceful virtual world.

Quick recording of a new set of pipes I'm working on. Long winded explanation- prior to the late 19nth century most Irish pipes featured very small bores and finger holes and were pitched well below modern concert pitch. I've always loved them…
Music: Jip
Verse lyrics: Mark Goldsack
Chorus lyrics: Lady Jane
Lead recorder: Lady Jane
Vocals: Lady Jane
A wonderful collaboration that came about by Jip and Mark sending me music/lyrics totally independently and me having a eureka…
I had this on Alonetone before but accidentally deleted it. This version has been remixed and mastered with different plugins.
A bluesy acoustic tune with a slide guitar and banjo. Wrote the tune a long time ago, forgot it, remembered it when…
Had this one written before the end of year. Finally hit the record button a couple of weeks ago with some electric rythym guitar tracks and built it from there. I was having a problem getting the song to mix right and had an idea to try a different…
The news today reminded me of this old traditional American song. In 5000 years we still haven't figured out how to keep the world from being run by the war mongers instead of the peacemakers. Certainly we have learned nothing since the time when…
Ok then back to the Blues !! Picked up me ole guitar after I got in from work yesterday afternoon & this appeared !! Gobsmacked myself !! Recorded it this afternoon. Boy, I do like it when a plan comes together !!!

After Greg Connor wrote this for me a while back, I kept listening to it every time I was feeling tired of winter, which at this time of year is several times a day. Somehow every time I listened to it, it reminded me of my dad. I know he would…
Beautiful Robert and a very touching tribute to your Dad.
That Martin rings like a bell, and is a good compliment to the banjo.
Thanks for the nice surprise this morning.
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!!!

Something about this song that just grabs me. It has a lot of interesting elements, and it's fun to hear harmonica.
O O O O O O OH . . . . . . That's good.
Excellent song, and interesting video.
*Happy Music* I was smiling all the way through!
Nice picking!
This hit the spot!
Great imagery, and captivating music.
I had to stop and take another bite this morning! Still tasty!

Oh yes, I like this. Good vocals, guitar, and harmonica.
Great Poetry James!
Outstanding ! This stirs something in me way down deep. Let's hear more of this.
Good One! I like the way it bounces along.
Does this have anything to do with the profession you mentioned you were in? Stripper? Very pretty song . . . you old softy!
That hits the spot!
Sounding good.
Beautiful song! Nice picking and singing too.
It must be "Meant To Be". Your new song sounds like it fits together perfectly. Nothing better than a spontaneous success.
Kicking Ass this morning. Good GAWD
Beautiful Robert and a very touching tribute to your Dad. That Martin rings like a bell, and is a good compliment to the banjo. Thanks for the nice surprise this morning.
