Lyrics and Chords:
Winter Solstice
Written by Greg Connor
When the G days are short, and the C evening’s so D long
And the C wind is D shaking the G trees
When the cold snow crunches C beneath your D feet
And your C cheeks are D…
It's been a long absence from a regular daily practice of song writing. Covid and a major change in the family has distracted me for well over a year. Recently I've been lucky enough to drift back into old familiar things like wine soaked evenings…
"Destiny will find you when you think you're in control. Destiny will find you and rip you a new ass hole..." (Sorry. I couldn't stop myself...destiny, you know.)
It's been a long absence from a regular daily practice of song writing. Covid and a major change in the family has distracted me for well over a year. Recently I've been lucky enough to drift back into old familiar things like wine soaked evenings…
When you C reach the Em point
When it’s F all in the rear view C mirror
And Am reflection is your G only point of C view G
You C feel it Em inside
When it F becomes so C clear
There’s Am nothing that G you can C do
F Hold on to G memories…

Lemonade is an instrumental. It started as an early version of a co-written song with Mary Kealy Falk. We eventually settled on the 4th version of the project.
I just couldn't let this version go without doing something with it. It's the…

I was up early this morning before the children so i got me and Les to do and ad-lib song in one take....i wish i had turned the mic down a bit as you can hear me hitting the strings but hey its a kind of percussion...isn't it?
Fellow alone toner Gary Talbott kindly volunteered to add some of his own vocals and strings to this song, so I gladly took him up on it. Fun to keep evolving this one. Thanks Gary!
I finally got a chance to listen to this on some decent speakers.
Nice going guys! It just bounces along with great vocal, harmony, and instrumental accents.

This one's a bit of a ponderous beastie.
It can be whatever you want it to be. For me, it's got a lot to do with Sunday 18th June 1815.

A BIG, BIG thank you to Wildgeas who took my simple acoustic guitar song and turned it into a beautiful work of art. Arrangements and Production done magnificently by Paul Lennon (Wildgeas). Also, special thank you to Bethan who put her sweet…
Greg Connor added his amazing harp to the song. It really adds depth to it. I love Greg's playing on the song. Thanks so much, Greg! This is why Alonetone is great.

Here is a Steve Krell song.
Buck Erpestad and I recorded live using two acoustic guitars.
Here is a link to Steve's original version : http://alonetone.com/slkrell/tracks/saskatchewanshostalconnorkrell
This might be my favorite SLKrell song.
This is an impromptu version that Buck & I played with the tape rolling.
Here is the original version of the song:

The local songwriters were in my living room earlier this week, and we had a great night. We recorded a live version of this song I posted earlier this month, and I thought you'd enjoy hearing Colin W, Greg C and Scott Z playing and singing too!
I'm just now, this morning, listening to this with nice speakers.
This is a *GREAT* Song, and I'm so impressed with the quality of the recording from that little Tascam recorder.
The blend of vocals, bass, rhythm and lead sounds balanced to me.
It feels like we accomplished something!

I wrote this song for my sister who got married last June. I performed it at her wedding reception. It's about going through dark times, depression, and the power of love that gets you through the pain.
This was the result of a recent EM class. We had to combine audio and digital instruments. The two classical guitar tracks are of course the audio portion. Used Logic X for the other instruments. Hope you enjoy.

Well . . . there's the difference. I'm stumbling for the coffee when I get up. You are making music with you Les Paul. I need more of that!
I finally got a chance to listen to this on some decent speakers. Nice going guys! It just bounces along with great vocal, harmony, and instrumental accents.
Another excellent version! Great song, and Gary really spiced it up!
*Another Masterpiece Andrew!* Excellent instrumentation and the Lyrics weave in and out perfectly!
One of my favorites!
I stopped by for another listen. Still good!
Now That is Folk Music!
Good to hear that *"Portsmouth"* sound
Unique . . . That's for sure. I have to say, you had me until the end. Pretty interesting.
You got the magic Johnny!

Where are you Bethan? Let's hear a little of your great voice.

Excellent live version of a great song. Sounds like you have been singing this song for years!
Love the Chorus!
Pretty Good! Sounds just like an old record.
Good Stuff! A twist on a classic!
Beautiful song Melissa! I remember you singing this last summer. You played it on Bill Mann's guitar. Beautiful, touching, heartfelt song!
Rich sounds all the way through. I love the sound of both guitars supported by the orchestration.
Wow! This really got my attention. Well done Willis.
