Oh, Greg, you are brilliant. A master songwriter with a tasteful ear for what genre and instruments and style go with the lyrics, which you are also great at. Very pleasing, and much fun. I'm with Ron -- how do you do it?!

I Can't Seem To Find My Way Home
Featuring Norm on Percussion Track: "Pilón For A New Son"
http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/piln-for-a-new-son
Lyrics:
Searching for something
I wonder and roam
Hoping the truth
Soon will be shown…
LYRICS:
With Or Without You
Try to get along but it takes two
It’s a Whole lot of me and not much you
Working myself right to the bone
Thinking that I am all alone
Just like a monkey up in the tree
Throwing your feces straight…

Yes- one of the nicer elements of Minnesota winter. Love the natural selection line.. passed 5 accidents on my way into town that day that got me to thinking the same. Some folks just don't know when to pull back on the reins ... Good lyrics- good harmonies

Y'ALL'S VOICES BLEND BEAUTIFULLY TOGETHER! Really nice mixing/mastering job! Your vocal delivery, Greg, is particularly well done in this one. Sweet lyrics, and the guitar part was executed quite sweetly too.

Another silly little tune, this time about the world's favourite stout! (Edit: uploaded a new version. Fixed a few mistakes.)

When the sun is up high, in a bright blue sky
And you're walking around in Dublin town
You got nothing…
Another Minnesota Coffee Table Song! Written and recorded "live" in one evening.
Memories: Written and performed by John Bennet, Joe Passofaro, Mark Lofgren, Colleen Dillon & Greg Connor. Listen to Minnesota Homebrew Radio w/ Carl…
Still good !!!
I just took a listen to this after getting a message from John Bennett looking for a melody to accompany his lyrics. I have enjoyed playing with all of you!
I wrote this one morning but gave up tryin to sing it . then I asked my buddy Steve Schostal to do vocals . His Canadian accent was perfect for this . Notice how he leads the beat ‘wow perfect.
I love Colabs
I have always wanted to get down to the Bayou. Maybe you could introduce me to Marie sometime. It's an intriguing thought to meet a pistol packing gator plinking lady.

Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
I totally love this song! It's going to be the song in my head all this week, I am sure!!!!
Great job I think you met the challenge!
Nice job!
No matter which version of this song I listen to, in my head I hear you singing "Come and get it!"
Oh, Greg, you are brilliant. A master songwriter with a tasteful ear for what genre and instruments and style go with the lyrics, which you are also great at. Very pleasing, and much fun. I'm with Ron -- how do you do it?!
Garrison Keillor would like this
I'm afraid to even try to say chicken pluckin!!!!...let alone in Petaluma:-) you had to win the challenge.....I don't know how you do it....great one Greg

As always- a great tune, Greg. Love the two voices.

Great mix Greg - as usual.
Very blusey. Great guitar sound.
Comments made by Greg Connor
Ah, the good ole days! I'm glad they're behind us.
This is beautiful. I’m guessing bouzouki but I might be wrong.
Fun song! I’d like to hear you sing that after having a few Guinness.
Yes, the long awaited springtime. We’ve been waiting patiently. Nice picking and harmonics.
Still good !!! I just took a listen to this after getting a message from John Bennett looking for a melody to accompany his lyrics. I have enjoyed playing with all of you!
Nice Beatles vibe
Beautiful song
Still one of my favorites!
Best song I’ve heard since Saskatchewan. Way to go Steve! https://alonetone.com/slkrell/tracks/saskatchewan

I think I dated this one. I like the guitar lick. The song really moves along well.
My feet are tapping!
Ooooh ooooh oh Mama! Love it
An enjoyable listen, and a little different.
I like the shuffle and imagery. It has a soaring quality.
Sparse and beautiful
This is a good listen.
Good story
Wow, what a story. Beautiful music and recording.
Great song written about a horrific event. I never thought I’d see this kind of thing happen in the world.
