So sweet, so beautiful. ROCK ON! You're such a soul man, you're layin' the grooves with so much love and color and warmth -- it's good to know I can always find a Greg Connor tune when I need it, right here on alonetone -- fabulous!
I dig how you mixed and and mastered all the instruments in this song to support each other just so. Your picking style, executed and delivered with such sweetness, is down-right sexy! Always enjoy your voice too.

You always have such a good mix of instruments ... each one is unique but works so well with the others. Great playing all round, but I'll mention the bass specifically because it's such an important "frame". Really nice vocals too!
Song #7 for my 2025 RPM Challenge. Another one with my Juno Synth as the main player. It ended up being much longer than intended (but it fits with the title...). I call it a Peter Griffin ending (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4X8HsEj7d4…
Big sound, you still have the touch. I wonder what you are doing the other 11 months of the year (more a statement than a question). I hope you are writing, performing or something associated with music. I always enjoy hearing what you produce.

I was writing this from about 1am this morning before I went to bed, then on and off in between takes on the demos of the previous three today…
First song I'm posting for RPM 2025. Not sure I'll finish this year....but I'll try.
Wrote this after listening to more of the horrible news coming out of the US.
Watching for you
Over shoulders
Can’t believe our eyes
Bolt the doors…
Song 5 for my RPM Challenge (the half way mark!). Decided to use my Juno synthesizer for this one - I love that thing. Did this yesterday after a nice winter hike. Thank you to anyone out there who listens - much appreciated xoxo

Last leaf on the tree
When you’re the last leaf
Let go and be free

A song about people who've been in and moved on in our life - maybe a lullaby of sorts... thanks for listening to my latest.
If Ever Oh Ever
If ever oh ever

Swim to the end

Just finished running sound for the Second Act Players’ production of "Finding Gladys" and enjoyed putting together original music to use for a theme, a soap opera, and scene changes. The song 'Getting To Know You' from the musical "The King And…
Ok, not the best thing I've done, but it seems that 1/ It has become a chore to even pick up my guitar. 2/ And to go and record. Old age getting to me ?!?!?!
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
I do love these lyrics! And I can't type in these varifocals

Hey Vern! Have you heard what Greg is singing now? We should sell the cow and get us one of these!
Now yer talkin', Greg. We know all about them ripe tomatoes!
I'm enjoying discovering your non-banjo stuff. Production is getting really good. Clean, nice sound image... something that still eludes me.
Always loved this Greg. Smooth & juicy....Good enough to eat !!
Got the wind in my hair Greg, All Six Strands !!! Good One
Damn! Now I miss my old '67 Caddy convertible! Oh Well- too damn old for that stuff now anyway!
Here it is, the blues; (:-blowing:-)
Thoroughly enjoyed the video, the music, the song and the market.
Ok! Deal! It has to be red!
Laughed at your lyrics. Been there, done that. And my hair is right where it should be, thank you very much! ER
You are on a roll....very nice!!! oh and tell Rita to get you one of those.
Oh! Nice pickin! We could split the cost and share!
Diggin' on the banjo.
Man this is a road trippers joy, A man his girl and a top down toy

Ha ha ha, Hair blowing in the wind and all the way down the road.

This is fun! I love loopers too ❤️

Well done! I enjoyed the line "empty Bottles and a pile of unwashed plates" I'm pretty sure she is your valentine.
This hits home. You got me laughing. It’s all true!
Wow! I listened to this last night and again this morning. Lots of emotion in here. Well done.
Interesting texture to this.
You still got the touch! Nice song.
This is pretty neat! I can definitely feel the waves on a calm sea.
Ohhhhhh ... another masterpiece. Great imagery creating visual pictures in my mind all the way through. Excellent start to a new year of songwriting!
Nice work Tilden!
I just played this for my wife Rita. You now have another fan.
Nice recording! You have captured some great instrumentation and vocals.
Good song with great guitar playing, or should I say shredding. Well done Ron. I think your trio is a success!
A Foot Tapper! I love it.
Another listen this morning. Good Stuff
Beautiful song! Another Dillon classic
This is fun! We’ll done my friend
It’s a foot tapper! Nice one Roger.
That’s a great sound.
Good Stuff!
