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…

Nice tune. I'm getting a sense that the roller coaster of Life is hitting one of the low spots for you at the moment. I was at a CSN concert back in the 80s, where David Crosby, introducing the song said. "When life lands you in serious sh**, you do the only thing you CAN do... CARRY ON!" And the boys launched into it. And It Was Good.

Great lyrics, love the Simian reference.
I once read a book about difficult people,
but he tore it up and tossed it out.
The tune is tight and druid in feel. I so like this one 5 stars
You are sooo good at what you do. you sing the especially well, just perfect for the music, which itself is just perfect for the lyrics. Again, it's that Connor magic!
Another silly little tune, this time about the world's favourite stout! (Edit: uploaded a new version. Fixed a few mistakes.)

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.

As punch said to Judy " That's the way to do it"....
Some sweet banjo, and that low-noted lead break was very cool, and the lyrics just tickle me.
Yup A tele for sure, Nice move way to pull the community card. You gotta know when to hold em.

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.
