Out on the lawn there arose such a clatter!
Sometimes, as they say, Christmas do come early. I found Johnny Stone's "Christmas Rock In Oz" under the tree and couldn't wait until Yuletide to unwrap it. What a rockin' gift! I know a bit about…
A 3 track improvisation on 7 congas roughly tuned by ear to a chromatic scale.
LYRICS:
I walked a mile with Pleasure;
She chatted all the way;
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.

Sniffing around here a little bit, if I haven't said it before you guys are awesome! Really enjoyed this incredible tune. And three years ago. Inspires me to create... music... Betweeeeen the Saddle!!! Eh maybe next year, but that's tomorrow!!!
Ok, so I'm just a percussionist, and if your only tool is a hammer, the entire world looks like a nail. I get it. And I also get that our songs are our children, so we should be very careful about whom we let them play with.

Chris sent this track to me earlier today with the request that I add some percussion to it.
I had something different in mind.
After the first take I was afraid to return it to him, fearing that he would convert it to 23 edo or something…
*Pilón* reveals a Cuban pattern, traditionally played on Timbales, but in this case on Jr. Congas & Congas (with gated reverberation and flanger effect). The rhythm of Pilón is based on the motions of pounding sugar cane.

This music makes me so happy! What a privilege it was to see the few hours you spent, prior to sending it to your Mighty Brother, the Reefwalker. Great sound guys!

Just another obscure saint. Not much known about him. Probably much more important and significant than any of us will ever realize.
Oh, yeah, and then there is Saint Simon. Same thing for him.
RIP Alex.

A bit of improv done yesterday with my newly refurbished fretless guitar. Finally got the midi pickup to track almost right! Part of the sounds were gotten by rubbing a teaspoon on the strings.
Didnt mean to have a political slant but had just got denied my large order soft drink in Manhattan.
All thats left are the small sodas with the "NY loves big cans" tee shirts
This is a collab song with MTC. I almost hated adding anything to it cuz the first track he sent me was kickass vintage Jim. It totally changed flavors in the collab process, but still one of my favs
This is the third, maybe forth time I recorded this tune.
I like this one best.

a fine disguise
they came from across the sea
always moving closer
my eyes could see
then they called in the calvary

I want the love (Lyrics)
Crawling in the gutter trying to stand with phone
To tell you that I love you…
Another with the £16 special.............
My baby, she don't want me (Lyrics)
My baby, she don't want me,
i don't know what to do
i need her,
i believed her
she was hollow and untrue
My baby, she don't want me,
i don't know what to do
i need…

IT WAS A CARELESS LOVE THAT TOOK HIM AWAY
OF COURSE THERE WAS NEVER GONNA BE THE RIGHT KINDA DAY
TO SAY GOODBYE…
Reg went out last night to a bonfire party....Man does he meet some strange women...........so he got his £16 special down from the wall and penned this little ditty in rememberence...........

I did the guitar and bass tracks first, then procured my 10 year olds cello for the main bass line :) I also tried my luck playing cello with a bow on this track- which was a new experience.
The trumpet and violin bits are played…

I had the pleasure of hearing an alternative version of this song. One where the green fairy exploded. It was good. Norm agrees that a) both versions are awesome, and that b) bottle rockets are good. ~Eloise

Tell me, exactly who could actually stay on that horse? Then I will tell you. The bad-assed sage would have worn that pony out.

Menacing!
I wish I had been there. With Kirk. First round's on me. Send a double up to the guitar player.
Very clever Reg. I agree.
...a match made in heaven.
Pssst. Hey buddy. Over here. I can hook you up with a 32oz Mountain Dew...
Totally pro.
Go Team!
HOLD THE PHONE!! This is unusually excellent. I really enjoyed this one, on all levels. And listen to your sister... up just a bit with the vocals.
One of your tightest yet!
Yes, this was Dan's best album.
Ok. Now, finally, it is clear who I must vote for.
Ha! fun video. Did you use any effects on that?
"This video is private". Now I REALLY want to see it...
That IS an awesome gong clip.
This smacks of Desiree. Get over it Reg!
@David: Haha! You mean this is not in regard to Michael Jackson??
Far out indeed. Nice work.
did it hurt so good?
What the hell??!!?? Where are the bottle rockets? (Enjoying Absinthe as I write this)
