This is a story about my friend with impure thoughts of stealing Lilly Pads for his carp pond in the back yard.
I guess it all started, Out in the dark
I was stealing lily pads, From the local…
Here is a Steve Krell song.
Buck Erpestad and I recorded live using two acoustic guitars.

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…

I, like you, use to do electric guitar in my HS years, but also migrated to acoustic. Is that progress? I think so -- this song here would be much less effective if juiced up with distortion and wah wah and the other toys of our youth. This song is hard core as it is, and needs no electricity to get its message across.
One of my other hobbies is watching wildlife in the area. I'm the happiest with a pair of binoculars around my neck and my hiking boots laced up.
Rita and I took these photos over the last few days, near our home.

I recon this is my favorite Connor tune thus far. That is some coolacious strumming -- quite nifty in fact. The vocals and harmonica are exceptional. Yeah, this one really does in for me.
Dedicated to the Winter that never seems to end.

Such gorgeous picking, and awesome vocals, and as I said below from my Merry Bear account, fabulous lyrics. It's an overall brilliant composition. You really have reached a higher level, and you were up there to begin with. <3 <3 <3

Down this road
A night misspent
With ill intent
The devil came
But I’m to blame
The fire smoldered
her faith grew colder
Stabbed twice
In the heart
Her love bled
Her soul torn apart
From this day on…
Hi all,
I'm back to Alonetone after a long hiatus. I got the urge to record more of my songs. Since my son started playing guitar, I wanted to share with him my music. I just want to show him that music is a wonderful creative outlet to express…
From Me
I don’t care what they think
From DC to New York – Looking for you
The sky is bright – But my heart is blue
Down, down, down – Down I go
100 miles an hour on this broken road
LOVE ME, KISS ME – I can’t understand what you see in…
One of those songs that just popped out in about an hour or so, a few hours to record, why don't all songs do that !!!! https://youtu.be/4SflrrmXqXk for a video.
You got a keeper here! I really like this one! It has an ethereal quality. I noticed you had a video of this song. I'm on my way to view it.

Just something I've been working on for an audio production course. Very early Stan, and as far as I know the only track to feature a banjo.
It's the story of a tragic shipwreck that also says 'tis an ill wind as blow no one any good!

Summer Grass- I didn’t originally intend for this to be the title track, but since most, though not all, of the songs on this album sound like summer to me, I decided, why not? The guitar even sounds humid and warm, but in that nice July way…

Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
Hey , Greg glad you got home ok! I wanted to drive you home from the party , but Kimmy took away my keys
love it ...has a really great fun feel!!! harmonica sound sweet!!!
That was just beautiful...well except for the dead wives. Who knew that lily pads could lead to love.
This might be my favorite *Steve Krell* song. Maybe Steve will record another version of *Saskatchewan* with his new Gibson J45.
This is really cool..I can hear this one being a rocker as well.
dig how this one just rolls along....
I can't imagine you would be lonely long with that amazing talent.

How purty!

VERY GROOVY, VERY COOL!

Very nice!
Quite an exceptional job, both in songwriting and in recording.

Great sound and lyrics Greg. Nicely done.
I don't think Ronny Crème Cheese knows how to favor a tune: look for the heart, then right click. try it you will like it.

Here we go . . . . Banjo! This is a foot tapper, and a big smile maker.
This song has a contemplative quality for me. I found myself drifting along with it.
Setting the example and setting the pace. Way to go. When will we hear the next generation?
I love it!
Impressive! Beautifully constructed and presented.

Great story song! Lonesome at times and then hope, or at least a reason to live in the end.
You have always had a clean production style. This is professional. Is that the audio production course, or just natural ability?
Ahhhhhhh . . . nothing better than a little banjo.
You got my feet moving!
Second time thru . . . It's fun to hear that classic "Ron Rouch" singing style mixed with Art's guitar playing.
Oh . . . . . This is Beautiful !!! I love it!
Beautiful song Gary!
Sad song to match a sad situation.
Beautiful, another masterpiece.
Good story put to music.
Bowed banjo? Nice touch!
Ohhhhhhhh, I like the one.
Beautiful Tribute Roger
This song sounds a lot warmer than the weather we've been having lately.
