I asked CaptGene for something funky, trusting that a fishing guide from Babsom Park would know exactly what I was talking about. He did. The Captain knows funk.
I used to have a link to his original version here, but that is no longer available…
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.
When I first heard…

There are 3 styles of the Rumba Guáguánco pattern: this one originates from the Cuban province of Matanzas (to the east of Havana).
“Rumba” is a Spanish term for a gathering of musicians, singers & dancers (what West Africans refer to…

well, I've given you guys a couple years to answer this.What is the time signature on this piece? Can you snap your fingers to it?
Didn't think so.
Chris, this is a master piece. I just love it still.

@Shirt: *Pilón* is not only the name of this pattern, but also the name of a town on the southern coast of Cuba. Perhaps both Pilón coffee and the pattern are connected to that town in some way.

Started out be an innocent little jazzy study in quartal harmony, but the DL4 was still in my signal path and things went downhill from there! Another done with my beloved '58 Stratotone
this is based on an improve from back in jan 75, then guitarist - chris layed this riff out and i never forgot it. it was the first time i was in a band as a bassist. the rest of the riffs are mine and everything else disastrous done in this song…
Hahaha! I like the opening riff too! That's a hilarious back story. It must be from a long time ago if Chris was still playing in 12 TET. Whoot! I actually used the phrase "12 TET"!
Cool ending too. Well done.
A Christmas song about what really matters.........i got the idea for the music listening to Jarvis and his accordian the other evening so thanks J........

This is a “cross-over” pattern. Cross-over patterns are a type of enharmonic polymeter, where 2 rhythms with different numbers of beats/measure are played at the same tempo: the measures do not line up each time. These rhythms have measures…

This is a remix of an improvised track I did for our first RPM album. For this new mix, I got rid of the vocals & added a most excellent electric guitar part by our good friend, Chris Mitchell. He listened to the track just once and proceeded…
I was inspired to make this instrumental track when I heard some great drum loops made by alividlife and uploaded to Looperman.
I hope you enjoy listening as much as I did making it.
Well if you have to be in Oklahoma, you might as well be on one of the largest resevoirs in the USA so you can jump in and wash some of that hot red dust off.
As a Kansas man, that's just a bit too close to Texas for me.
After Brook drowned.
Ra Byn did everything but rhythm guitar.
He must have been about 12.
Open 9th tuning...
Well, you say that you're lonely
I see that you are
Tell me, where have you been
Life ain't no lay pen
Yeah, you call it a…
Tesla...maybe the smartest man that ever lived.
TESLA
Who invented remote control? TESLA
Who invented the fluorescent light? TESLA
Who invented the radio? TESLA
And who died alone and forgotten in 1943? TESLA

Sometimes it might be best not to even think about what terrible things might happen. It might be part of setting those very terrible things in motion. How can one know?

Love the flange and the triangle (Or whatever steel you used) Goodness all over!!

@Goose: I know nothing about guitars but I think Kirk's Stratotone is named "Clark". And not red.
Hahaha! I like the opening riff too! That's a hilarious back story. It must be from a long time ago if Chris was still playing in 12 TET. Whoot! I actually used the phrase "12 TET"! Cool ending too. Well done.
OK, what's the story with the oscillator and did you use it on this piece?
The accordian works well with this! Great vox, as always.
While I know nothing about harmony, I will say that I prefer an augmented fifth, but seem to always end up with a diminished fifth. Sweet piece Kirk!
@Jarvis: Stick to your ears - musically speaking, nothing else matters. Thanks!
Excellent Reg! Way to bring the rasta to Ambrose!
@MTC: Ha! Cross-overs are fun no matter who makes them. But it's cool you get the concept. Thanks.
We will see you through this Reg. At some point you need to stop giving the fairer gender the power to tear you up so badly...
I'm aboard!
Great collab! Just perfect. (Ah, Bee, can you ask those Robins to hurry up with it?)
Lovely.
Excellent!
Excellent!

I am very sorry to hear about Brook.
Maybe he needed a better PR firm? Perhaps he should have considered late night info-mercials? Excellent concept!
Excellent!
Another very clever one!
Excellent!
