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…

as they say... "Damn you're good!!!" another masterpiece. I love the lyrics and that haunting picking on the lead parts... and the Greg harmonies!!! Fabulous indeed

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…

This is an invitation, with instructions, on how any AT musician can hop a train in the US and get to my house for a jam session. Figured the lyrics needed to mention all 3 of the collaborating musicians home towns cuz they all run along these…
Sometimes the oddest things inspire a song. This one, about a long-time friend and former bandmate, a consummate musician, who passed away suddenly last year... just leaped out after I read a Facebook post where a couple of mutual friends had…
For anyone who has ever lost a friend to depression and suicide - you might identify with the lyrics.
The Rain Outside (Vlad & Me - 2013)
The rain outside
it falls on my window
and slides to join
its' friends below
I saw your face…

I'm laughing out loud. You have some serious *ATTITUDE* going here!
I love it. Great Riffs, Great Tone and I think I even heard those testicles clanging in the wind.
THE WALK
I drove 400 miles that night
East of Dallas to Abilene
And the hopes that I held in my headlights
Were hopes like I'd never seen
She called me from work that afternoon
She said she'd be off about 2 AM
Said it would be nice…

Where this came from, I've no idea !!!! Had the music track recorded, no lyrics, then had the first verse. The rest was wrote on the hoof, as I recorded the vocal. Plus I'm a non-believer, Oh well, Have Mercy !!!
When he knows....... he knows.....Acoustic Electric & Harp..............
All i know (Lyrics)
I sit here cold
i sit here lost
knowing no where to go
don’t know who to ask
don’t know what to say
or do
all i know is i love you…
Here's a traditional American tune I first heard down in the Ozarks when I was maybe 5 years old. Just clawhammer banjo and vocals. The first verse is one I remember. I made up the rest. I was gonna go from coast to coast but I ran out of time…
Twenty Dollar Doctor is the second single released by Vinyette for their upcoming album Every Little Mouse Run! Watch the music video too! This is funky avant-garde rock!
A saucy little ditty from the Jip and LJ laboratory. The first thing I've sung for 3 weeks (been resting a very strained voice - eek!)
I'm having a party, I'm inviting everyone
There'll be much frivolity, booze flowing, so much fun
I may…
I jumped on Chunks tune from over on Songcrafters...Thanks Chunk
I can't go forward for looking Back (Lyrics)
she held her self open
she laid her self bare
she told me her dreams
show told me her dreams
she told me her dreams how i could…
I'd been following the Euro horsemeat scandal since it broke in the UK some time ago. But the songwriter in me didn't react until Ikea found pony in their Swedish meatballs the other day.
Alonetoners - you're hearing it first!
** THE PONY…
I thought I'd uploaded this ages ago!
Less chaotic 'Chaos' after I found a melody I was happy with, and the delay button :)
Enjoy! xox
P.S. I knew I'd seen it on here somewhere - it was uploaded by Jip under Third Quarter of the Moon :)
I found myself playing along with you on this today.
Did you, or Jip write this? It's beautiful.
By the way, It sounds good with fingerpick acoustic guitar back.

Oh ....... That's good . I like all textures.
Sad topic but a very pretty song
Very Pretty.
A Very touching tribute to your friend. I like the simplicity of it, and the later addition to the piano. Well done . . . This is first class!
I'm laughing out loud. You have some serious *ATTITUDE* going here! I love it. Great Riffs, Great Tone and I think I even heard those testicles clanging in the wind.
I feel like I was there with you. I like the modulation when you were in the rut. So . . . . Was it Worth the trip?
You got ATTITUDE ON TOP OF ATTITUDE. I Love It!
Beautiful music!
Nice song . . . very powerful.
Top Shelf my friend. You hit the mark with this one! The harmonica is a nice touch.
Something about this song that just grabs me. It has a lot of interesting elements, and it's fun to hear harmonica.
O O O O O O OH . . . . . . That's good.
Excellent song, and interesting video.
*Happy Music* I was smiling all the way through!
Nice picking!
This hit the spot!
Great imagery, and captivating music.
I had to stop and take another bite this morning! Still tasty!

Oh yes, I like this. Good vocals, guitar, and harmonica.
