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…
It was a curious and wondrous thing.
One night I was in my studio adding some percussion to the "Quiet Rituals" track by Barry van Oudtshoorn, when my 4 young children (with whom I was long over-due to be tucking into bed and reading a bed…
A single track of improvised chromatically tuned congas in 7/8, accented with clave, guiro, cajon and quinto.

Just messing around on a Saturday morning. A
rough cut at best, but I get a kick out of it.
This is a song by the great Jimmy Dean - 1961

wore a young boy's clothes. I always wanted to

Outstanding nightmare! I would suggest the gentle listener doesn't get tucked in with this one unless they want to stare at the ceiling for awhile before they finally get to sleep.
Did the guitar tracks first, followed by bass, then drums and vocals last. I wrote this song in a bookstore, after I came home and recorded it, I realized I made the song too short for all the lyrics.

Reefwalker, you don't even need a vocoder. A jacuzzi is a much better option. Once your boy gets into it, he'll forget all about the vocoder! (But I did trade the Caddy for a really nice microphone...)
This is a live recording from a club that had a studio built into it. Unfortuntately, the club shut down. After performing this one, there was a chill up my spine. It's a haunting one.

We’ve heard all the compliments.
All said in a day.
They’ve lost all their meaning now.
Wasted away.
They were there…

I hope Norm will forgive me for what I did to his excellent percussion track.
I bought a used Alesis mixer today from guitar center and had to try it out, of course. So I laid down 4 tracks of 12 string guitar - including…
Comments on Norm's stuff
very nice,, if i could not play the piano (when i grow up) i would like to be a percussionist,, you make it sound soooo good
You make this sound easy. You ole pro you.
@Jarvis: Stick to your ears - musically speaking, nothing else matters. Thanks!
I read what you wrote....I listened to what you played......I liked what you played and got perplexed at what you wrote...so I'll stick with my ears....80)
I found myself rocking back and forth a little while listening. This is very addictive!
Love It!!!
I like the percussion instrument choices and the way additional instruments are progressively added in waves, clean track
:)
@MTC: Ha! Cross-overs are fun no matter who makes them. But it's cool you get the concept. Thanks.
way to get those rolls in there as well. killer.
Very sweet :) I wonder if you were thinking...."if all these damn guitarists are just going to make crossover patterns from my beats, i'll just make a crossover pattern mayself. ;) haha FAV'D
Another great piece Norm....just love your sense of rhythm
So what happened to Johnny? This is the only thing that remains. Did I miss something?
Still beautiful........
Damn- How did I miss this? Brilliant!
I'm trying to find the words to say why I liked this. The best I can come up with: "it's real".
4/4 bpm...awesome!
Sweet groove
You got the beat man.
the individual samples for propane are stretched (and filtered) but not the composition.

Nice bodhran work here! I've a sudden craving for a pint...
Wonderful! I can't wait for the Broadway Show!!
Immense!

Truer words were never spoke. Well done.
Very nice. Beautiful voice.
Cool bass groove!
IMHO, the only button left to push is "fave"!
Fantastic. Stem to stern hit. I like everything about it. "I'l be my own harmonizing vocoder" - ha! You should really post the lyrics to this gem.
Another great one from Mr. Sweet! Many thanks!
Great story!
Beautiful! Lovely voice!!
Yep, I want to dance. Excellent drum work here.
Sweet! Great voice! Nice funky bridge, too!
I like it! Nice drum work here...
Very clever. Nice work!
Ha! Who doesn't dream of Barbara Eden??
