Looks like your How to Assemble has reached 100 plays, and all 5 Currently Kicking Ass tunes are STILL How to Assemble songs, but your is on top. Congrats -- I'd call that a hit, and you are once again "The Featured Artist" -- and that's a damn good choice!
Wow Greg! I saw this come in just as I was turning off my computer for the weekend... It's really beautiful. I love the pipes in the background and the beautiful picking. You should be sitting in the corner of a hushed pub in Galway playing this tune. Wonderful Irish Poem!!

I've just listen to all of these on headphones, so I could hear every imperfection, and they're all GREAT -- clean, masterful, professional mix downs, everyone. I'm dealing with a bunch of clever artists who take recording a mixing serious, even when the title includes the word, "Android." You sound great on these phones, Greg. Everyone does. So many responses, all of them top notch production. I'm glad that I came up with this idea, that so many accepted the challenge, and I'm so tickled, pleased and proud to be associated with all this groovy talent! Rock on, everyone!

Full moon, full of mystery

So long I been straight and true
No wrong has come into view
I can feel that dark side, all because of you
Way down…
Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment Greg. Keep recording - enjoy your work. Cheers! -- I wish alonetone would setup a "reply to comment" feature. ;)

There are things you take for granted
The sunshine and the desert and
The forests, and the bears and the beaches
In the tide pools of California

I wrote this song about my father and Dementia/Alzheimer's over a year and a half ago. We just finished the song and video, kind of surreal because Dad is in a nursing…
Poignant and well delivered message! Sorry to hear that your Dad is in a nursing facility now. There are a lot of us dealing with aging parents right now.
From what you have shared with me regarding his personality, he’s probably making friends and enjoying himself.

And here we go - Edith FINALLY gets it...
Actually, she's been getting it ever since I wrote it on the 29th May. I thought it would take a week or so, but it proved to be more of a fight than I was expecting.

Huge rain thunder and lightning storm swept thru, and right behind

Pop-rock song. Recorded 2009.
I wrote this several years earlier and rehearsed it with the last band I was in.
The recording was my first "serious" project on my Boss MBR, I was stunned that you could do something like this on a little silver…
We got motivated to write something a bit light hearted about our Covid-19 Times.... I hope you'll laugh and sing along with Roger , Colleen, Greg and Steve on this one... any maybe raise a glass of your personal moonshine!!!

A simple guitar groove. Haven't sat in a coffee shop since before the lockdowns, and I miss the atmosphere and the music! This tune feels to me like sitting in a cafe.
(Every time I think it's done, I end up tweaking it a bit more in Audacity…
Update: Gene offered to improve the Mix on this song! This is that improved version. Thanks so much Gene! You are awesome!!!

Fabulous effort Mr.Conner. Lovin' it.
You are versatile in both instruments and genres, and from Sea Shanty to Irish Ballad, you do it all with heart and skill. Gorgeous! Encore!
Nice, Greg… you're a versatile guy! … I don't think that I've heard you do an Irish tune before.
Oh lovely stuff.

Comments made by Greg Connor
Great memories. You really paint a picture.
My feet are tapping!
Rita and I both enjoyed the video. We especially liked “the good wife” singing back up. I have to say the ending really got our attention.
My feet are tapping in sultry Minnesota this morning. Thanks for taking my mind off the heat for a few minutes!

Wonderful medley of tones weaving in and out. Love it! That slide is captivating.
Love the slide and the topic!
Oh yeah . . . . You are on a streak. Another good one.
Wow is the word! Impressive.
Rainy days are good for naps but they can certainly mess with your head. Good song Roger! I like the ending, “Don’t let me down”
Outstanding song and message!
Rita and I are giggling this morning. You guys are a lot of fun to hang around with.
This is addictive! I love it.
I just discovered your Colab-O-Rama playlist. I listed to most of and just enjoyed every moment.
Sweet Memories
Great interpretation! ( I have typed and erased several times and now . . . . I'll just leave it at that)
Yes I could hear Colleen breathing, and as far as I can tell, it sounds like you were far behind trying to catch up while recording.
Is that a mandolin? Nice song.
Ahhhh ...... The good old days!
Rita and I are listening together. She wants to know why I never wrote a song about HER !
