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

What a great collection of sounds! A fabulous rhythm section, however you did it. Delightful lyrics. And, as always, delicious job on vocals. Way to go, Greg!

Recorded Last Friday - I sprung this song on Mark Imsdahl while we were playing music together.
I thought he did pretty good for never hearing the song before.
Check out Marks Music here: http://alonetone.com/imsdahl/tracks
I love my mini van, lot's of room. I could try to make it sound cooler by saying I'm using it to lug my gear gig to gig but mostly it just gets the family where they are going. Cheers!

Forgot I had this one, till it popped up on my Ipod on the way to work this week. I thought,'I know that song !!??!!' Can't help it, it comes with age !!!!
This is a remix of this song.
It was recorded in 2010, and I was in a hurry to post it elsewhere because I'm so fond of the song itself. But I've always hated the old mix - I lost the essence of the guitars and choirs during mastering because…
*W O W*
Such a heavy song and so well produced. I pushed the replay button twice so far.
The lyrical message is facinating.
The imagery just doesn't stop. In fact it suggests that I look around the corners.
The melodic presentation is very captivating.
Nice presentation Andrew!
They say we're dangerous, that we never really cared.
That we're selfish, we're blind, and pessimistic.
But I'm not wired for disaster, I'm not broken at the seams.
Alas, I've been watching them, rip away from me.
Digest my insides, they are…
I'm lacing up my shoes.
I always knew that walking was good for you, but when you're headed for somewhere like the Pub, well . . . that's like getting two rewards in one.
Nice toe tapper!
First new one from me in a long time.
Kind of a love song, I guess.
Recorded in my new "studio" (3rd bedroom in the new house). Almost up and running now... shine and don't stop wondering!

Oh yet another nostalgic blast from the past. I found this unbelievable backing track surfing the web some years ago. I usually never use backing tracks because they usually suck bad . But this one is like having mitch and noel at your side. I…
I agree with Bee. This pulled me back to the time when I had hair that went all the way across the top.
I think I'm going to have to pour myself a bowl of Wheaties (Breakfast of Champions) before I listen again. I need energy to keep up with all those licks.
Well now - this is a collaboration between myself and lady Jane. It's an odd tale about a prince and a water maiden, with a twist in the "tail".
Sounds quite 70's prog rock - hear it out for the twist.

This was from about 4 yrs ago thru a Guitar Center King of the blues online collaboration. I was using Guitar Rig Jimi Hendrix Octavia on this.....pretty hairy sound right there.
This song written by Mark Imsdahl..I found it over at Greg Connor's ...I liked it so much that I asked Greg and Mark if I could do an electric version of it and they agreed...i want to have Mark blow some harp on it when he gets back from vacation…

Love it ...love it.... great lyrics...outstanding playing all around
Way Cool Greg! I really like the sound of your cigar boxes, harmonica, and whatever those bones are that your rattling. Lyrics and melody make ya smile. :) c
Nice to hear some other harmonica players around here. Great harpin' man.
Oh Yah, This is why I am such A Fan. Super feel. I have been there brother and that It. Enough said.........Evets
Ahhh, so gorgeous -- what a carefully crafted blend of sounds. You have the ear and great taste. definitely know what you're doing.
Greg, Gene Eric Mann / Justin Otter Guy / Merry Bear here to tell you, you have the magic. You just don't know how to write a bad song. This one's another gem -- sweet.
Too cool.
Wait up I'm coming with you!
Your line of credit is good over here in Dakota County, Greg. I have a full bottle with your name on it waiting for you… love the tune!
Been wonderin' if yer muse had departed. Just on vacation I see. That there's a Country Keeper.
I agree ... great mix, great bridge. Your various instrument voices always cooperate so well with each other!
This is a really great song Greg! I love the music too. Cheers Bee
That instrumental bridge is great!!!!!! more, more, more, Who -Dat
Very "catchy" tune. Love your instrumental mix.
Hey Greg...this one has a feel good sound....good to hear new music from you.... love it!!
good song.....
I love my mini van, lot's of room. I could try to make it sound cooler by saying I'm using it to lug my gear gig to gig but mostly it just gets the family where they are going. Cheers!
Ohhh ... lovely intertwining of mando and low whistle. You set a beautiful mood right in the first few measures.

@Richard L. Aceves. Thanks for asking. The instrumental break is a High D and a Low D Irish Whistle.
Sounds like a great summer road trip song. " Let's Go"

I don't listen to Travis, but I would listen to this again. Valerie doesn't know what she's missing.
Sounds even more mystical and dark. I'm enjoying the evolution. It's a little like Darwin.
Beautiful songs, this one included. Your lyrics have a depth to them, engaging, and thought provoking. Very easy listening, and enjoyable.
You really have the licks! I love it! It's been HOT here too. Maybe if I stand out in the Sun, I'll be able to play the guitar like you.
I'm lacing up my shoes. I always knew that walking was good for you, but when you're headed for somewhere like the Pub, well . . . that's like getting two rewards in one. Nice toe tapper!
Don't know how I missed this one. I'll second Tess' comment, WOW.... "Shine" hits the mark!
Great song for walking down the isle.
I can just about hear those lips coming through. I've always liked the attitude of this song.
Very pretty.
I agree with Bee. This pulled me back to the time when I had hair that went all the way across the top. I think I'm going to have to pour myself a bowl of Wheaties (Breakfast of Champions) before I listen again. I need energy to keep up with all those licks.
Good story telling supported by good music! The perfect combination. I can hear Lady's voice in there keeping it interesting. Great collaboration!
Professional sound. Beautifully constructed with Lyric and instrumentation.
Zesty and refreshing.
I stopped by for another listen. I love the "Two Old Ladys" verse.
I think this is my favorite "Ron Rouch" song so far. You hit the bullseye here!
*WOW* That is some intense playing! Fun to listen to.
