"Hey Motorman" was written for the 100 year celebration of the Ariel Lift Bridge.
The bridge was originally built in 1907 with a gondola that went from side to side carrying passengers and vehicles. It was later replaced with a lift system.

It has been a salty year for me, performing with a great sea shanty group in Saint Petersburg. I've written a number of sea songs this year, and this one especially for the 2014 holiday season.
Sorry, to post just a clip here, but I've released…
OMIE WISE (traditional)

Oh, listen to my story, and I'll tell you no lies
How John Lewis did murder poor little Omie Wise
He told her to meet him at Adams's Springs
He would bring her some money…
i was watching the new BBC wildlife program the other night and it showed the plight of a young Whale and its mother and a bunch of sharks and i i'm basing this one on that........coming up from the bottom to the top........
MONOLOGUE
I found a hole, it's in the wall
And reaching up, I crawled inside
And to the stars I gave a call
To grant a better place to hide
I cannot leave the hole I found
The chapel for my dark despair
I do not seek to hang around…
Here's the classic sea song you know. The sea shanty group I play with is planning to record it for a video production. Right now we sing it like 99.9% of all sea shanty groups on the planet: straight thru with all the voices in unison on the…

Oops, guess I wasn't logged in before. I must have used all brain cells recording the song. Anyway, I had a lot of fun with this, and as you said, we've all been friends for a long time.
Remember Terry's radio station? It's been a lot of enjoyment.

DREAMING
Inside the dream I'm drowning

Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
Tell me with a straight face you were NOT thinking "David Crosby"! ;-) Really sounds like a Cros tune. Along the lines of "Wish I Were a Camera". Not that your voice doesn't work, but I'd love to hear him do this.
Well, Kicking ass this morning, Well I guess. My kind'a ass kicking going on
Great storytelling Greg. Lovin' the harp.
This is why Greg's is one of my favorite all-time alonetone musicians.... this song is wonderful......lyrics, beat, harmonica, voice... great job!
Love it Greg ! Catchy melody and awesome lyrics. :)c

BIG THANKS to Greg Connor for fabulous vocals and helping the lyrics along: http://alonetone.com/koehl/tracks/jazz-it-up-connor-bear
I don't think drums would have been right for this number. It's GORGEOUS! Nice touch on the banjo -- really good stuff!
heard some warbling going on in there. Some of your famous head shaken'? haha Nice harp and song in general
Damn fine song!
Ooh.. I need some red beans and rice after that! Lyrics remind me of John Hartford.
That's some dandy picking on both the guitar and the banjo. Great vocal job. Fun lyrics. You've done it AGAIN! So glad you're here on AloneTone <3 <3 <3

It will be fun to hear when the other parts come in. Merry Christmas Gene!
I just toured your website. Wow . . . That's an impressive life.

I had to stop by for another taste of this.

Excellent! Well done to both of you! Great story.
Spaghetti Western? What's not to Love?
I can actually feel those sharks. Well done.
Interesting lyrics complimenting a bouncing melody. It's a great way to portray frustration.
"Put him in the bed with the Captain's daughter" great visual imagery!
Original and it catches a person's attention
