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!
One of my personal favorite recordings from the 52 song MYTHOPOETICA demo collection, even though there’s a sound quality issue (the bass had a bit of a buzz). This was my first time using a wammy bar – I liked it!
PLASTIC GIRL
You can’t…
It's great to catch up with you Vern! I hope you are doing well.
I can't remember .10cent popcorn, but I remember .25cent gas.
I also remember watching the movie twice before we left the theater.
Steve (SLKrell) and I have been competing over the same *"IMAGINARY"* girlfriend for years now.
And Yep . . . Steve started it. Well she's mine now, at least until Steve writes the next song. Look for Steve's music here:

Here is a new mix, compliments of Gene Eric Mann.
Gene didn't say this, but I'd like to think that he wanted to make sure that Steve heard every word clearly.
Thanks Gene!
ADOBE & BLOOD
Thanks to David Kneller
for bringing up the subject
and creating that phrase:
ADOBE & BLOOD
I read a lotta stories about a lotta stuff
But I tell ya folks, I'll never read enough
To block out the memories what…
Man . . . I like this.
Beautiful. You have captured the bitter sweet volitily in the January 2015 market for sure. I'll bet your 2014 piece had all major chords in it.
Update: Gene offered to improve the Mix on this song! This is that improved version. Thanks so much Gene! You are awesome!!!
I wrote this song earlier this summer, and had played it a few times with Greg Connor, fellow alone toner, and…
*Another example where the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts*
I think this live version is better than anything we could have ever cooked up in my basement no matter how much wine we drank.
Thanks to Gene's help, this remix has a lot more definition.
Bottom line, it's better when everyone comes together to contribute.
Of out tonight for a drink with a few friends but not til 9 so i thought i'd try to write a song and i think i have . i think i'll revisit it later to re-do but for now it will have to do. Hope you enjoy!! A heart-breaker for a Friday night…

Outstanding . . .
I can hear Melissa and the rest of us harmonizing. Colin's bass is keeping us together and Scott's mandolin just brings it over the top.
Great song and lots of fun!

Searching for something
I wonder and roam
Hoping the truth

Happy Sunday Alonetoner's.
I wrote this song yesterday as I had some recent events to ponder.... I hope you like it. Trying for a bit of a bluesy feel. If you'd like to download it and add some background blues bass or guitar, or harmonies…

I start smiling every time your voice pans to the other speaker. That's fun!
Nice song. Andrew has the stuff. I think he's right on, although it may not stop Colin and I adding a little something.
Think of it as putting plastic Pink Flamingos in the yard. It may not add much, but you just feel good about it.
Comments on Greg Connor's stuff
I do love these lyrics! And I can't type in these varifocals
yeaaaa! not only I find your music really good, it's just the inspiration I need right now

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.

Powerful message, and it just keeps coming in today's time. . . .all in the name of God.

Nice exercise, writing a song before you go out. It's a good one too! *Well Done*

Hey Norm . . . I'm taking a walk down memory lane this afternoon. Nice Drumming! Here is where to find Norm: http://alonetone.com/norm
Refreshing Reminds me of rain.
I stopped by to get a little taste of *GENE* . . . . And now . . . . *Onward!*
Sad song, but beautiful singing!
Can't wait to hear your live version of this!
