With Mark *"Sweet Lips"* Imsdahl on Harmonica.
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

This song was written after I had watched a documentary about Jonestown, which featured music from their choir. They were very talented and I couldn't help wondering if any of them had survived. I'd like to think that there were a couple of 'em…
I was having my share of PESS (post election stress syndrome) and headed to northern MN to shake it off and wrote this one while watching a beautiful quiet snowfall happen. I recorded it finally today on my little TASCAM that we often use around…
Just got my system up again after several hardware upgrade conflicts, and a move to California.
Been thinking about changing this songs ending for a while, finally getting around to it. Good to post here again!

Another Sunday afternoon project . . . this has been sitting around unfinished for a while and so has my Alonetone account, so I recorded & uploaded this original song. All sounds by me.

I decided this was a good song to post on Thanksgiving as a way to say thanks to all the folks on AloneTone for listening to my music over these past few years. This is another song in the studio work I've been doing this year. We're still tinkering…
This is a song that put together three musicians.
The target was to create a music for a presentation as background music, then it became what it is today. Named Soundscape V the nickname is now Three Bottles and an Headphone.. just what was…
Nice recording! Those microphones sound great.
Writing and recording these songs has been a lot of fun for me. This particular song is growing on me every day.
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!
I agree totally with what that Justin Otter Guy said below me! ;)
Those Monkeys are buggers you know!!
Thanks Bethan for adding the *SPARKLE*

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.
Comments made by Greg Connor
I like the harmony. Bill adds a lot too.
It's great to hear a new song from you! I guess the lyrics tell us where you been! Happy New Year Roger!
Very Pretty
Very creative idea for a song. I think they are all singing from the heavens now.
Good message for a Merry Christmas!
Nice upbeat song for the holidays.
Beautiful !!! Perfect song for this time of year.
Beautiful message! I particularly like the last verse. Merry Christmas Colleen!
You got me chuckling this morning. 40 seconds of truth.
That is Beautiful.
GREAT to see you "Kickin' It". Put a little *ZIP* in my *ZIP*idy doda
The blending of two worlds . . . Excellent.
Still Good to listen to this!
Good stuff. That guitar sounds great.
Outstanding! Great Bass line, groovy marimba, and the harmonica has a hint of a German accent. Excellent message. You got it MAN.
Beautiful .... The perfect sentiment for Thanksgiving.
Soothing
Interesting sounds. I'm trying to figure out what you're doing. Like "Prood" said: "FUN" especially the dog at the end.
Nice recording! Those microphones sound great. Writing and recording these songs has been a lot of fun for me. This particular song is growing on me every day.
Yes, that IS interesting.
