I wrote this little ditty back in May, did an acoustic demo and then played it to one or two people. I always meant to do something a bit more, er, "expansive" with the thing... So I stuck it in the corner for a bit and forgot about it.
Been…
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…
Well, here we go then...

Yeah you know what it is that I want
Oh you knew, didn't you, before I did?
How many times did you wonder whether I would dare?
Oh never mind...
Take off your underwear

I was flapping around working on something else with just vocal and guitar the other day. It wasn't going well, so I just started slapping the guitar and singing one of my favourite songs.
What I didn't realise was that I was recording it…
New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…

Haha, well played, fella! Have to hand it to you...this explodes all expectations at crossroads or otherwise. :)
Really like this vocal delivery also. And very clever lyrics considering the *actual* story!

This is a collaboration with a prolific chap called James Higgins (oldrottenhead on songcrafters.org), based on an instrumental of mine from a couple of years ago: http://alonetone.com/andyr/tracks/muletide
I was quietly minding my own business…
At last... I've managed to finish something.
This was written months ago. I was about to try recording it with one or two others when this year's decorating started. With various buggered fingers, back muscles, etc, etc, I wasn't actually able…
This is one of the many songs going round my head from when I was young. No idea whose version I heard and used to sing along to back then, but it was written by Larry Collins and Alex Harvey.
(EDIT: Done some research. It was Dottie West's…
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…
Another lyrically-challenged collaboration with jip1965, who sent me a guitar, bongo, percussion track with a recorder playing named, simply, 'Love'.
I added the piccolo, crystals and windchimes from my virtual keyboard, renamed it 'What is…
Yeah :)
Like lots.
Love jip's guitar signature on this, so smooothh. And I can hear the sun setting outside the tent, and the pillows, lots of pillows.
Er... or is it an entirely different sort of love? (Why have we only got one word in English??!)
Love it. "Lyrically challenged"? Pah! needs no more for this listener :)
Had written this one many years ago. I had it recorded originally in a different key and with different instrumentation but it I just was not happy with it. I deleted the original lyrics for the chorus and added a bridge section and lyrics. I…
Woo... not heard this before. It's wonderful. I don't want any backing on it at all, I want it like this...
If you do end up with a backing - and I'm sure it'll be yum - but pleeze do not take this one down :)
you know they say you have to write some rubbish before the good stuff comes out?... Entirely Garageband, not a live instrument on it but it was clogging my head up.
So are you saying this is part of the rubbish or the good stuff? lol
Sounds good to me. Love the chords and harmony. And then the bass line in the middle eight... I'm always a sucker for a falling bass line.
Woo... I heard the original, but hadn't noticed that the search for the lyrics had been successful - must have been asleep or something at the time...
Like it :)
Had to reload this one to get it to the top of my list. Just had news ezfolk Mp3 section is to close down :( Looks like I'm here to stay !!! I found alot of fellow musicians on that site, many who are here now, any way, here's to Ezfolk, au revoir…
Reg has been talking to the Lover man and listening this time..........
Karma (Lyrics)
Somebody told me what the lover man said
And man did it turn out to be so true
If you take it
And you break it
You break that girls heart in two…

Yep sirree...
Love it. I'd love to hear how you were originally trying it as well. It sounds like a song that could benefit from all sorts of approaches (well, what song couldn't). But I like this string arrangement.
cover of the pink floyd song
dr alfredo de pietra on guitars and myself on vocal duties. a slighty different mix from the two versions at songcrafters.
Well What do you Know asked the young lad ....Reg thought about it and replied with a song........a kinda doodle from late last night that took over then couldn't be left........
Well, What do i Know? (Lyrics)
Somebody asked me well what do…
Another one here for 1 week only. My daughter gets married in October & she wanted 'Their' song for their first dance at the reception played by me & sung by her husband. So I came up with this version. Now I need to learn the cello…
This is the song that opened my ears to Rock music thanks to my sisters record collection…..i've been wanting to give this one a go since i first ever heard it at the age of about 10….so its only took about 40 years and thanks to Speed Demon i…
Back for another listen.
Last time I listened to this I immediately went upstairs and wrote/sang some rude lyrics into my recording machine... This time I'm just gonna go to bed and have a nice sleep...
Had a couple of ours spare this morning while the gang have gone for a bike ride/walk....so here goes...
Lets Fly (Lyrics)
Everybody's laughing but I feel like to cry
As I watch the party pass us by
I don't know what to think or what to do
Baby…
Here's a cover from the Band from the late 60's Gene again is in charge of the music and the mix and a great job he does of both..... i'm doing the warbling hope you enjoy..........
Well Reg Knows somethings up but what is it every time he ask's her she says nothing....now what does that mean??...he knows something is a miss.....
What's Gone Wrong (Lyrics)
Do you realise what you mean to me
Your my heaven here on earth…
I've been trying to put another one of Mike's poems to music, but not getting anywhere.
Then jip threw this music at me, saying he hated it and asking if I could do anything with it. Pieces of Mike's poem went in and I sent it back to jip with…

Friday Feeling on a Wednesday Nite: Rock poetry

Yeah. Like the new mix/master :)

Well, I've not heard this one before meself... Very very tasty
BIG vocal! Nice one.
Yep sirree... Love it. I'd love to hear how you were originally trying it as well. It sounds like a song that could benefit from all sorts of approaches (well, what song couldn't). But I like this string arrangement.
Yah buggers!! (Quietly takes a sheet of paper out of the pile of "possible covers to attempt") Brilliant, guys. Mighty fine version
Yeah, like this one, it's a grower
Good start! lol It rocks, I love the groove when it kicks in.
Nice one.
Back for another listen. Last time I listened to this I immediately went upstairs and wrote/sang some rude lyrics into my recording machine... This time I'm just gonna go to bed and have a nice sleep...
Nice one. I'm getting "happy" from this too - still with an underlying "something else", though lol
Superb. Utterly brilliant track. Not my usual kind of thing musically... but it dragged me in... and, well, wow...
Oh yeah, a FINE version. I'd NEVER have guessed that The Band was the next on the list lol What's next???
Oh crumbs, this is brilliant. It's a bit of a stunner...
Ohh it's totally fabulous. A superb lead vocal performance, blissful to listen to. And I'm with La Savage on the backing vox - they are gorgeous.
Like how this one skips along. And I love the sentiments :)
