Thanks for the kind remarks, Dave! I decided to check out this album first because I love the title. I'll let you know what I think in about 63 minutes!
(Lyrics posted below) A fun song I wrote with Kenneth from songcrafters.org. Its about having fun making music with friends from all over the world, connected by the internet and these great music sites that we all belong to.
I came in from…
Lyrics/Vocals - OldRottenHead (over at Soundcrafters.org). Music - Dave Berry. Recorded on Boss BR-1200, Epi Sheraton, Bass, Synth. Drums are played by me on my new Roland HD-1 (I have had it two weeks, timing is a little shaky, bloody hard this…
I'm gonna have to set aside some time to listen to this entire Lobster Man album. What have I been missing?
Love the lead break on this one - right in yer face.
Good version. I've heard so many covers of this, my favorite one is by New Riders of the Purple Sage. An old country classic originally done by Lefty Frizell but written by someone else.
A frightening thing, to go from being a man to becoming a Lobster-man.
Now Gather around me hearties
For I've got a sad tale to be told
Hoist the colors ye bilge rats
The call rang out, we were off for gold
Grog in our bellies, horn-pipes…
If you'd described this to me I'd have said it'll never work...
... but it does!
It's one of my least favourite Beatles songs (and I'm a big Beatles fan), this has made me reconsider it as a song in itself. Nice one.
I'm trying to bring him round.. but it don't look good.... his gone a funny grey blueey sort colour...... but if i remember right..... he looked that way when he came down the cellar in first place...........Elvis just lays beside him going ummm...ummum... and dribbling it must have been one hell of a night after i left....
Aw, we tried to make this a bit more pro, but sometimes the really fun moments in life are fleeting. So here it is warts and all. But don't mind that - just get out onto the dance floor with Reg! It's ok: he's up to date on his shots.
When…
Who the hell is playing that killer guitar, thats what I also want to know......is that a a Reg on 5 string? flipping hell guys, what a track. Loving the drumming Norm.

This celtic folk piece is a collaboration with lyricist Donna Devine.
This is Donna's explanation:

Background: In earlier centuries, young men were captured by "press gangs" - often literally torn away from…
This is a synopsis of Reg's favourite movie put to music. Sorry about the length but what can you do, when you have a story to tell, you can't cut it short can you? This is one to download for the car to listen to on that boring journey or when…
Final version
Day 28
Anyone else still writing songs?
this is the result of trying to listen to too many mixes in one day. Sometimes it's just easier to record something else.
What Reg said.......and I may add one more.......zang....yeah this has zang..............Great track, real authentic sounding, great recording, very clear.
A tale of keeping your head above the water, or not...
Recorded Jan-Feb 2011.
I wrote it many years ago, never thought I'd ever do anything with it.
I intended to record this with just an acoustic and my new EDB (electric upright bass…
Nice....I like visions......the nice ones anyway.......this sounds like a nice one.......not the kind that eat you alive and spit you out in the morning. My little subject come alive........who hoo, my champaign popped it cork.........hahahahaha. too much......this is better than a movie. You hardly took a breath there, fantastic tale.
Sloane did me a favor & played an electric guitar part on this one. I had hoped to work with her more on this project, but she wound up leaving town to help take care for a recovering family member.

In response to a suggestion of Dr. Ozan Yarman I tried a tuning he created for a different project. I realized the composition using Garritan Personal Orchestra Baroque organs, Garritan World sample set Oud and Santoor samples performed on an…
Pop-rock song. Recorded 2009.
I wrote this several years earlier and rehearsed it with the last band I was in.
The recording was my first "serious" project on my Boss MBR, I was stunned that you could do something like this on a little silver…

There it is........One of the best things I have heard on both sides of the internet......good to see you on here, fun little site. Deadly song Andrew.
This was written as part of a concept album inspired by the work of Pablo Picasso ,Trevor Lewis is a member of Songcrafters music forum , he came up with the idea of writing poems to 12 Picasso paintings , then put them out for people to put music…
Reg has decided that he doesn't want hurting again so he has decided to be up front about what he wants.................. Love me for who I am........
Love me, Love me, for who I am
Love me, take me for what I am…
Jeeze guys, what incredible lyrics. In between all the fun and goofing going on down in that cellar of yours, there is some damn fine songs being created out of the shadows and dirt of the cellar floor. This one is brilliant, good Reg sirs, brilliant I say.
A lot of different types of people get down the cellar since Elvis moved in and Reg has been taking notice.........
A BLUE BLOODED JUNKIE
................................................
A Blue blooded junkie has the time of his life…
WOW,,,,,for some reason this made me think of poor old Eric Clapton, in the early 70's, living in his big estate, stoned out on junk......you got EC down there with Elvis now. You are going to have quite a band, Elvis on vocals, Clapton on guitar, who else is down there?
Reg has seriously got the blues and can't seem to leave the empty bar, there is just him and Elvis in there. The strange thing is that the tables and chairs are there, the bar and the stools but there is no booze behind the bar just empty glasses…
Why is it that w2hen you look around at what folks have in their "Favorites" folder, there is a pair of dudes that keep coming up, everywhere, the dudes ahve but one name, and that mane be Reg.......say it with pride.....Baby baby babyeeeeeee.......Its because you Reg-a-matic fellas are good, damn good. So good you really should have a warning label on your shit.... "extreme addiction to the grooves withing will occur withing 10 secs of listening.....be forwarned" now thats a vocal.
Field Fresh - Texas Cow Patties are yummy little milk chocolate carmel peanut patties that come in this neat little wooden box..... Not really cow shit!
Very interesting groove. I am not sure what vocals would sound like over this. Works like this in a movie soundtrack link of way. Very good instrumentation. this darn RPM, too much great music to keep up on. Maybe next year I'll jump onboard myself with RPM. Keep rocking man.
Comments on Dave Berry's stuff
Love this Dave sweet as a nut and brill playing ,, Dunny
I think you did a great cover of this song. I am a Neil Young fan also! :-)
One of your best vocals to date Dave. Nice work, and fine guitfiddle work.
Sweet tone and cool mix...thanks on talking blues
I like the 'Dave's touch'..! Very nice cover, man!
Thanks for the kind remarks, Dave! I decided to check out this album first because I love the title. I'll let you know what I think in about 63 minutes!
I like it!
Interesting song!
hey, this is a damn fine tune!
hell yeah dave icame over to see all the fun.
I gotta agree with Henner. It is your best vocal. This one suits your stripped down sound perfectly.
Can't say I've heard this before from you Dave. Without a shadow of a doubt, the best vocal I've heard from you, BB. Must be a Canadian Thing!!
I'm gonna have to set aside some time to listen to this entire Lobster Man album. What have I been missing? Love the lead break on this one - right in yer face.
Good version. I've heard so many covers of this, my favorite one is by New Riders of the Purple Sage. An old country classic originally done by Lefty Frizell but written by someone else.
I've heard tell of this many times, but I have to admit I've never got round to listening to it before. Superb :-)
If you'd described this to me I'd have said it'll never work... ... but it does! It's one of my least favourite Beatles songs (and I'm a big Beatles fan), this has made me reconsider it as a song in itself. Nice one.
This is one of my all time favourite songs (though I've never heard The Band's version). Great cover - love the backing vocals, really effective.
Bring a bottle with you the doors open ...i cant get up to shut it.......
Great cover by the way
I'm trying to bring him round.. but it don't look good.... his gone a funny grey blueey sort colour...... but if i remember right..... he looked that way when he came down the cellar in first place...........Elvis just lays beside him going ummm...ummum... and dribbling it must have been one hell of a night after i left....
