Finally, at last... I've got something finished...
Been working on this for a few weeks.
A bit of a rocker... (and an aging lecherous one at that)
I got it as close as I could and then mixed it loud... I've over-cooked it slightly - but…
A new one...
I wrote it on 5th February, and managed to record it in less than a month (a head-cold and lack of hearing in one ear slowed the last lap somewhat).
But seeing as the last one took over 8 months, I think I'm already ahead for…

This is really good stuff. Songwriting firmly placed in late 70's art rock/pop, which is a very good place to be, if you ask me. Contemporary, skilled production makes for a tasty sound palette and a very enjoyable listening experience. Bravo!
This song has been sat on the marvellous mechanical mouse organ in the broom-cupboard for well over a year.
A few weeks ago I got a bit of a scare - the mouse organ nearly broke down (in the middle of sorting out Delta Dawn). While I was fixing…

I dig the classic flavor of this one. Some choice bass runs. Groovy lyrics. Great vocal delivery. Superb mix-down skills. Thanks for checking out "niaR" on my Gene Eric Mann profile. Hear it as "Rain" on my Nightmoth profile. Rock on!
Pop-rock tale about a character in a novel that I fancied. Recorded in 2009 on a Boss MBR.

Theres a crazy girl
Looks about my age
Hiding out on the second page
Waiting for the story to unfold…
I wrote this thing in 1994. When I played it to some friends back then they went "yeah, but where's the rest of it?"
I've been struggling with that concept ever since. Then, a while ago, a couple of kindly souls removed that worry from me…

A song about my wife. Recorded 2005.
I'd just taught myself how to play piano (badly).
I'd always wanted to be Freddie Mercury when I was younger... still got a bit of a ways to go.

Heres a collab that i did on the cool-lab with Tims Buddy on the beginning Johny Robbo on the 1st main solo and The Rev on the next two solos and Tim on the end and my self on the vocal…hope you enjoy.........

Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift.
The cat is on the chair
And I watch him as he stares
The sky is changing fast
I see the boats sail past
And the winter's closing in
I can feel the changes from within
Tomorrow…
this is my take on Joe Bonamassa's version of Blind Faith's "Had To Cry today"
a much shorter version...just wanted to record that cool lick and am trying to work on my vocals ... oh well ..what a time to try to learn to sing at my age...63 next…
Well heres the ballad of the younger other Reg who has found himself in trouble trying to do a deal with the devil.....why didn't he listen?.....Reg told him not to trust him............I got the acoustic out for this one and a little guitar fx…
I love the creativity that's going on here. Personally, I'm not that engaged with what's going to happen to Moonbee (although, how ARE you going to get him an invite to the ball??!?! lol). But I'm loving the tunes and harmonies. Guitar sounds cute too.
Here's request Carry on my Wayward son by Kansas we had.... again Gene has outdone himself with some superb musicianship ......and i've again had the easy job with the vocals...thanks Gene
Pete Thompson on percussion and Angie Thompson on bass. Produced with Pete 123112
HAIRCUT
They sent me a letter. A ticket to ride
Portland to Frisco on that Big Overnight
Brand new clothes. New pants and new shirt
Brand new boots to kick…
Well Reg still hasn't cheered up ...memories of Desirea keep coming back to haunt him he thought it would be a new year a new start .....which it would be if he could only leave the past behind him......so he got the acoustic down of the wall…
I started this thinking it would be a tune with the emphasis on my guitar but as it progressed I heard horns and then all these other things happened and this is what I ended up with.
A complete re-vamp of a 6 year old song. Sure I wrote the lyrics while on holiday in Majorca, rewrote a couple of lines, picked up me ole guitar last week & just played this tune & it all seem to fit. Could need a lay down now !!!!
For the grandchildren, when I get some!
Moonbee started life as a doodle, then he was turned into a little story, then a song!
This is Part 1 of the series - I have no idea how many there will be in total!
Enjoy! xox
P.S. This is…
Reg is always sure the grass is greener...i'm not so sure as i watch him going through conflict every time he goes to see...
The Tangled web (Lyrics)
i’ve got something to tell you and it will soon all come clear
i want to hold you so close and…
Tack on the soles of our two shoes,
Walk until we can find the dam.
And if the water is shallow enough,
Maybe you wouldnt mind wading in.
Waist deep, and it's getting cold,
Still you refuse to go home.
You're convinced that I want to stay…
Found a interesting sounding indian instrument via the computer world and strummed out chords on my lil midi guitar. Added some percussion, strings and a flute.
Ooh yeah. Like this one a lot.
With what you've been doing recently, you're starting to make me think that perhaps I ought to midi-enable one of my guitars.
While I was going through my old stuff I found this forgotten tune. I think it was the first or second collab I've ever done with Billy Playle. We met at a long gone collaboration site called OMF (OpenMusicFactory, run by Alessandro da Lisca…

Brilliant love it mate
Beautiful!!
With Colleen on this, good stuff.
really good track...production, vocals all top notch!

Really like this mate. Great lyrics
Reminds me a bit of classic rock Bowie. Really cool!

Fine version chaps. I had me doubts... but it's turned out nice.
Well, that was very enjoyable. Some very tasty stuff in there guys.
I didn't realise how much I was enjoying this until it ended. Mightily good stuff.
Oh yeah, love it
But this one just shades it for me...
I also like 'em both...
Nice :-)
Love how this little beauty swings along. A big ole rocking riff.
I love the creativity that's going on here. Personally, I'm not that engaged with what's going to happen to Moonbee (although, how ARE you going to get him an invite to the ball??!?! lol). But I'm loving the tunes and harmonies. Guitar sounds cute too.
Oh SUPERB!!! I knew you guys could do it :-)
Oh, wondrous... Gorgeous melodies and sounds fabulous.
Superb lyrics. Wonderful song.
Works for me!
Yep, smooooth. Tasty stuff.
Does the same for me - makes me feel like the sun is actually shining! Nice one.
Wonderful. And those harmonies are superb.
Oh this is a goodie.
Fave from the start. Gorgeous sound. Just noticed that I love how you always seem to get "movement" out of slow songs.
Ooh yeah. Like this one a lot. With what you've been doing recently, you're starting to make me think that perhaps I ought to midi-enable one of my guitars.
Nice one.
