So long I been straight and true
No wrong has come into view

I had fun singing this at the open mic this past week.

Singin' the blues! I think the first 2 lines are the same as "Blue Night", but then it goes off into it's own realm. There's nothing like a reso for the blues. One of these days I should pick up a decent one. BTW - resophonic/dobro with slide is getting really popular here. There was just a big festival going on down in Moscow recently.

This put a big smile on my face. The percussion is like nothing I've heard before in the Connor universe. That's a hip bass and drum combo, but the vocals and guitar are classic -- a mighty tasty fusion of styles. Very interesting, intriguing even. The blend of vocal tracks is particularly groovy. Some sweet picking there, bud! I'm taking this out for another spin!
As part of sound design for the Front Porch Players latest production “Let's Murder Marsha” I composed and recorded this theme song. It was recorded ‘in the box’ using MuseScore, iRealPro, and Reaper software.
The show continues next weekend…
We haven't been together in several months, but we had pent up creativity, and then were inspired by Bill Maher.... who gave us the hook.... "Humans Aren't Good People"
Welcome back to the MN Coffee table - Colleen, Greg and Mark!!!!
Humans…
Thanks for the great comments. It would be fun to spend an evening playing music with you in one of those "Cow Town" bars.
You asked about my musical friends, we all live in the Minneapolis area, maybe within a 20 mile circle. Covid disrupted our activities a lot, and then we all seemed to have major disruptions in our life.
My mother, for example, was on hospice most of last year and passed away at 93 years last fall. We are all coming out of the fog now and trying to get back to music. Tomorrow, Mark Lofgren, and I are meeting at Colleen Dillon's house for an afternoon of writing songs. With any luck we'll be posting something on Alonetone this week.
I volunteer at Presbyterian Homes where my mother was and yesterday we had a little impromptu concert. I played guitar along with the Activity director and one of the memory care residents. Take a listen:

Let's hope we all get much more active writing and recording this winter.
For some reason this one demanded to be written...
So here's to all of us that have been in this situation a time or two! Hugs and love to us all!!!
Feel Just Like A Loner

We sit across the table
We share the same old food…
This is one of my favourite traditional tunes, for sure. This one pairs well with my last upload, A Harp in the Night. Maybe the two will become a medley... anyway, enjoy!
Trying out a new strat: not letting myself work on details on the computer until the skeleton of the song is complete. Result is a lot of variety in songwriting, but a bit rougher arrangement/mix.

Yesterday I made a friend.
Someone I…
Thought I'd share something from my latest project: Putting together instrumentals of public domain songs to use as intermission music for a community theater production. We got dinged for streaming copyrighted music in our previous production…
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
A master class in song writing and playing Greg
Lovin' that harp playin' Greg. Don't get much better. Just cool!
Another excellent mix and balance of voice and all the instruments.
Nice tune!
Sounds like Jim Morrison vocals and with the skill of Bob Dylan guitar and harmonica at the same time
We're all clucked up over this one!
Nice "stuff"

I'm with Ron on the swamp rock feel, and with Colleen about the movie soundtrack material. As always, without fail, a great job!
Oh yeah...nice funky groove!
Sweet!!!!!!! Is that you on the harmonica as well??? This one sounds like movie soundtrack material :-)
Eight to go please with deli mustard
Huh, full moon last nite , why do I think you wrote this this morning?
Good ear Ron! Yes, that's my old Dobro, built in 1973 tuned to open D and played with a slide.
you are on a roll now for the RPM Challenge... are you playing slide? sounds great ...almost like a Dobro...this has a really nice swamp rock feel!!
Very catchy tune. Added it to my collection.
Alright!! Jammin' tune Greg. Goes great with my morning coffee and cigarettes. Rise and shine :)
This has a really great feel and good grove... the challenge is yours!!!!...do it chorus sounds amazing...outstanding vocals as usual..
funky vocals… you have a lot of tricks up that sleeve of yours

You old softy …. This is beautiful.
Humans may not be good but you and Mark are good company! That was a fun afternoon.

Great motto to live by.
“Raise a glass so you live life to the full” good advice!
Beautiful Tilden! Is this the Gretsch?
Poignant lyrics wrapped in a perfect presentation. You caught me with this one. Absolutely Beautiful and thought provoking.
This is a tasty bit of music. I love those acoustic instrumental sounds.
This is beautiful.
You old softy! This is a beautiful love song.
I like your style of playing. I play a little music with a friend who plays harp. It’s a beautiful instrument!
This is beautiful
Nice song! You mentioned it was rough, but it doesn’t sound that way. I think you’ve captured it.
Well done Tilden! The circumstances made me chuckle. Those Rosemont people will make you work for it.
I love it!
Great message! Let's see if we can live up to it.
Where … oh where is Lady Jane? I stopped by for “Just a Minute “
Slide and harmonica … my kinda song! Nice lead break at the end of the song.
Good advice! Very relaxed and solid presentation.
