Morning light on the mountain stream,
catches the eye of the child within his dreams.
The day begins, present and aware,
of all the beauty, he plays without a care.
Castles on the riverbank, a choir of birds in song,

We call this Beat-box ghosts (the prog-fu mix). A fun collab between Osckilo and myself. Osckilo had this song he did called Ghosts, all done beat-box. I had to ask him what beat-box meant, I had no idea. I took his original track (just his…
How many nights am I just about to hit the sheets for the night and then a riff appears. I'll just rough record it but it always turns into a late night.
The reunion of the Reg's........boom, thats a critical mass of Reg.......use that power for good Reg-dudes.....teh world needs a dose of Reg once in a while to cleanse the innards. Fantastic vocal Reg. Thats a real funky slinky guitar there Reg2. I really like this.

This is an ode for a good friend of mine that had took his own life at the end of last year. I was in the midst of writing some other songs and it stopped me in my tracks. I just wrote basically how I felt about this tragic ending to a very special…

Comments on Dave Berry's stuff
Very very cool mate.
super cool stuff!
killer blues...this IS the down and dirty good stuff!
I dig it. (I'm not criticizing, but a tiny bit of reverb/echo on the drums would be perfect.)
Love the guitar solo's, i agree with Ted the Waites delivery is nice and Bluesy, there must be a better way if only we could find it
Very nice. Nice lyrical observation, too.
Nice tone on those solos man!
Nice. Like Tom Waites channeling Howlin Wolf.
A song a day helps you work rest and play and seems to keep me sain
Merry Christmas Dave
Kicks some major butt! Great job Dave!
Good reinvention! Love DJ!
