Hello, Collene.
I believe Greg may have a Grumman also. We did this and skated and learned to love music in the Northern climes. It's said its in the blood but it's in the long winters that set us uppers to singing and writing and celebrating .
Your last tune was just wonderful.
Steve
We have that same Grumman! We keep having to put pine tar on the rivets as it’s a leaker after 50 years in Northern MN. I agree! It’s the kind of thing that shorter people do! Awesome song 💚
P.S. I was having a totally crappy morning, in a bit of funk-o-rama. Thanks for helping me remember how fun it is to sing anything at all when you're in need of a boost! You're awesome!
One of my first experiments with DADGAD tuning. I was hoping to get a dark,droning sound. I lived in Missouri for a lot of years and this sounds like what it feels like to be out in the sticks there.
Here is my entry for the "Who Knew" Song Writing Challenge. Thanks for including me :)
Lyrics:
When I was a young boy
I never knew what it meant
to be unloved
When I was a young man
I never knew what it meant
to be undone
Now I’m…
This is a song I wrote this week, trying to capture that strange emotion you sometimes feel during times of great milestones in your life - good things happening, changes, moving on. Joy and melancholy all at the same time. Everyone feels it…
This was a write it and record it in one session song challenge that my songwriting friends and I came up with this week. Lions and Lambs was started thinking of spring, but it turned into a song about relationships... as they often do.
Greg…
This is one of my favorite collaborations with Paul Lennon so far. I wrote the song with king of a bluesy feel, and then found a perfect marriage for the music with one of Paul's awesome tracks. Then we tinkered on it together to make it so…
Here is my contribution to the latest song writing challenge posted in the Alonetone Forum.

Who Knew when I first met you
That all your troubles would be mine
And you’d be coming around again…
Well the MN songwriters were in my living room tonight. We all shared our contributions to the "glass" songwriting challenge. Here's the live version of Poorly Blown Glass with Greg Connor on Guitar, Scott Zosel on Mandolin, Colin Walterson…

Ill mp3 as I can. Minnesota songwriter in Absence, says Nicely written and recorded.

I was down at the station
Catch the Greyhound to Go My Way
And I heard the loudspeaker
We’ll be leaving some time today
You just Say no thank you
When I ask you to be mine
I’ll be looking for that green light
When I ask you the next…
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.
Lyrics & Music by Nick Plagakis
I count my blessings…
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
Solo acoustic finger picking thing I've been working on for a while. Sometime around 1968 I started studying with Mr. George Bennett who taught me the rudiments of finger picking. Later when we played some gigs together he also taught me the rudiments…
