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
Full moon, shadows thru the trees
I can feel your spell, I’m beggin at you please
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. ;)

haha… listening to all those old blues tune double entendres is impacting you. I'm still waiting for you to cover that Bo Carter song. I'll play harp on it! …gotta double fav this
Once again, Greg Connor has kindly added his wonderful harmonica and Dobro to this song. Thanks so much, Greg! Mean Streak Blues is a song about how wrongly we could deal with frustration....enjoy listening
Lyrics:
Dogs bark all night

Oh yes, this is the stuff. Thanks for the invitation to *"season"* your song a little.
It was fun pulling out that old Dobro and bottle neck. This song is just made for it!
Sometimes it's hard to figure out what just happened. And then again it's sometimes hard to figure out something that happened years ago.
(To answer the question by the commenter, that's all me and my little self all alone in the basement…
Hey all, which Greed version do you prefer? :)
Lead guitar, organ, and drums added by Vic Lyn. He did a great job - extremely talented and insightful with music. Thanks so much, Vic. (Check out Vic's website: www.avlstudios.com
wrote and recorded this last Christmas...all guitars are my PRS SC Trem LTD (with rosewood neck)
keys and bass and (ahem!!! vocals) by me as well
Tis the season... so thought I would go for a repeat!!!.....Merry ho ho Christmas!!!

My instrumental cover of Christina Aguilera's song "Beautiful" I guess I am ready for the old folks home!!!! ...now that I am doing ballads!!!
I just happen to really like the chord progression and thought I would try an instrumental cover…
This is a request from Gene Eric Mann
one of mine and Andy's older ones...we envisioned this a a soundtrack for a horror movie....Andy thought of the story because his son likes to go into the woods near his house and brng back sticks!!
this is…
Unique, and very interesting.
I like how both Justin and Gene love it. They have an interesting ability to always agree. I have to concede, they're both right on this one!
Another oldie form Andy and I and requested by Gene Eric Mann....this one is about a friend of Andy's that had a drug problem....Andy wrote all the lyrics and plays rhythm guitar...weird guitar parts and all other instruments sre me and me playing…
We've always adored this song, there is another version but decided to re-record it. Now I think the Good Wife sounds quite good, when I think of the crap health problems she endured over the last 4 years. I am bias of course !!!! Lastly apologies…
This song has been sat on the marvellous mechanical mouse organ in the broom-cupboard for well over a year.
A few weeks ago I got a bit of a scare - the mouse organ nearly broke down (in the middle of sorting out Delta Dawn). While I was fixing…
One I wrote about 5 or 6 years ago, very different to the old version. It came about because of the shameful treatment of the soldiers coming back injured from that S**t hole of a country by the British Gov. They were forced into doing much more…
Justin Otter Guy (just another guy) and Gene Eric Mann (generic man) are the same musician. My originals are penned as Gene tunes (alonetone.com/mythopoetica) and my covers are uploaded as Justin tunes (/redshirt).
This is another GHOST OF JOHN MURPHY piece from the VOICES CD...
DIAMOND - Monster Wave
It started with an earthquake half a mile below
Belching like a bull whip to make the water blow
Monster in the making, Frankenstein unchained
Gravity…
A tune for Halloween.
I wanted to do something creepy. It works.
All Alone
I turn your knob
and throw Spot a bone
I palm your panties
when your not home
I turn the lights off
and cut your phone
I feel your fears
when you all…

I don’t care for love and happiness
I got myself a yacht and a mansion
I don’t believe in God and religion
I got myself sixty four billion
Greed, greed, greed is what I need
Greed, greed, greed is what…
You have some great lines here . . . *Got Myself A High Priced Honey"*
Judging from the headlines in the news lately I think I might have a hint where the inspiration for this song came from.
Well done Nick!

This song is put together quite well. Very nice!
very nice Greg...the Irish in you has escaped...I hope there is even more to come.
Ahhh there is my Gordon Lightfoot fix!!! I really love when you do this style Greg...great great great
That's after bein' right a loovly tune, me boyo.
This one's a keeper.
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.
Well,now that just plain superb, I'll surely rewind this a score more times . The more you do the sweeter it gets,but this superb,!!!!!
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!!
Another beaut! Hilarious lyrics to boot. Love the cute ending. :)

Very romantic. I like that syncopated rhythm.

You really know how to tickle an emotion. I love it James!
I just listened to them back to back. Both good, but, the acoustic version has my vote. It has that raw feel to it. Both good though.
NOW I'M IN THE MOOD !!!! Let the festivities commence.
You got my feet tapping with this one! Great Mix.
I had to press play for another listen this morning.
Unique, and very interesting. I like how both Justin and Gene love it. They have an interesting ability to always agree. I have to concede, they're both right on this one!
Good one guys!
This is a great groove. Very inviting.
Interesting bits of music! It will be fun to hear the finished result.
I don't know the original either, but I like this. Both of you sound *GREAT!*
Beautiful Andrew!
Interesting subject matter. The reality of war almost makes a person sick thinking about it. You put this together nicely though. A great tribute.
You sound a lot like my friend Gene! *Coincidence?* . . . . You got me chuckling this morning. Sincerely, *Justin Time*
I may have to download this to give the kids a chill tonight on Halloween! *WHO'S THERE ?*
*OMG* . . . You scared the Hell out of me!
I'm winking right back at you . . . *Birds of a feather*.
*BIGGER THAN LIFE* . . . Again
You have some great lines here . . . *Got Myself A High Priced Honey"* Judging from the headlines in the news lately I think I might have a hint where the inspiration for this song came from. Well done Nick!
