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.

I need an electric geeetar. My weary old Crafter electroacoustic picks up every touch. 'Scuse the solo, I'm only a strummer..
Anyway, the song. Clogging up my brain, had to get it out. Some lasses don't know what they look like, and some lads…
The core of the music is heavily inspired by Joni Mitchell. Its been spinning around for years in my head so hearing this song finally recorded feels good.
I once worked for a retail company in the computer industry. One of my fellow buyers took a job at another company, then returned six months later as a salesman for that company. This is a song of how he might have felt returning to the city…
That guitar really caught me. I like the break into acoustic too.

I feel your pain, I grew up with Country Music. After years of professional help, I'm almost healed.
Bottle neckin' on the old 5 string. first attempt Standing on a corner with a cheap guitar...Got that empty feeling I don't know where you are...Wont you come back baby I really need my car.. I let you have my car keys ,gave you a…
A cool mixture of MIDI and conventional instruments.
Slide guitar courtesy of my trusty Zippo lighter.
There is no better lighter / slide :) Buy one, it could save your life.
For M.T.
Enjoy!
I've been trying to put another one of Mike's poems to music, but not getting anywhere.
Then jip threw this music at me, saying he hated it and asking if I could do anything with it. Pieces of Mike's poem went in and I sent it back to jip with…
Well, here we go then...

Yeah you know what it is that I want

How many times did you wonder whether I would dare?

Had written this one many years ago. I had it recorded originally in a different key and with different instrumentation but it I just was not happy with it. I deleted the original lyrics for the chorus and added a bridge section and lyrics. I…
Had a couple of ours spare this morning while the gang have gone for a bike ride/walk....so here goes...

I don't know what to think or what to do

Had to reload this one to get it to the top of my list. Just had news ezfolk Mp3 section is to close down :( Looks like I'm here to stay !!! I found alot of fellow musicians on that site, many who are here now, any way, here's to Ezfolk, au revoir…
you know they say you have to write some rubbish before the good stuff comes out?... Entirely Garageband, not a live instrument on it but it was clogging my head up.
Another one here for 1 week only. My daughter gets married in October & she wanted 'Their' song for their first dance at the reception played by me & sung by her husband. So I came up with this version. Now I need to learn the cello…
Excellent choice for *"Our Song"*. Your Daughter has good taste.
I'll bet there is a good chance that we're going to see a video somewhere around November 1st.
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!!!

It's a rough world out there. This song sums it up pretty good.
Great visual imagery. Good one Mark!
Nice feel to this one! Great Music / Great Lyrics & Singing
Way to get your groove on! Well sung Fran! I can tell Roger has his Leather Pants on. He sounds like a real Rocker!
I like the violins! That was a nice surprise. Lots of energy in here. Fun to listen to.

Terry . . . You got me laughing this morning! I love the inflection in your voice. It really put me into a spin!
You are on a roll.
I love that tuning. Way to think out of the box!
They may be trouble but we still chase them! I haven't caught one yet, but I still keep trying. Good song my friend.
I love it! Great driving bass line and ripping guitar lead. Just what I would expect from a Pub goer like yourself. *"Let's Go To The Pub"*
I never heard a Zippo sound so good. Nice piece of music.
Nice going Lady! The song is fresh and and lively. Great vocals as usual.
I Stopped back for another listen. I'm impressed how you can belt this song out!
I didn't expect the marimba, xylophone, whatever it was. Now you got my attention! That was fun!
Yes . . . This is a keeper! The bridge is a nice effect for resetting the song.
That organ really makes the song nice and light. Great touch. The song just bounces along.
Ah ... brings back memories of the *Good Old Days*
Delightful . . . .
