@Bee: Yes, these traditional patterns frequently have a melody of their own, and while it can be varied to some degree, an audience familiar with the pattern (and the dancers) expect to hear that melody.
Otherwise the percussionist had better be playing behind some protective chicken-wire!

@Tess-...I love the declaration "First" here on A.T....it always makes me laugh.
@ Norm- love it. I like the panning as well, and also love the complex pattern build, especially toward the middle. First class A+ percussion.

======================================
This song was written and performed by Holger Bremer. My only role in it was the mix and master…
.......if there not the one,should you keep looking, if so for how long...........well Reg threw Henwrench's music into the cellar and what bounced out was a song he wasn't suspecting....
Love me tender
I've been alone now seems to long…
Wait. Did you actually throw Henwrench into your cellar? Here's my talley of who's down there already with the Regs Deuce:
Henwrench
Vincent Price
Elvis
Frederico
Louie Armstrong
Bon Scott
Frank Sinatra
Jim Morrison
and perhaps Satan.
For Debbie, written (just) before I met her.
Reaching Out For You
I've been trying
Crying
Reaching out for you
It never is enough
I never do get through
My heart is true
My heart is meant for you
I've been crying
Trying

Vocals, Ibenez 5 string bass, Fender Mustang, GR-20 saxophone, SI rhodes, SI drums + drum 1 shots.
It is like you said
But different
Do we ever know?
If what we touch
Is always real
What do we feel?
I slide in time
And feel the gaps
Between…
Reg was at the weekly AA meeting at the old school and the group asked Reg if there was anything he would like to share....so Reg decided to share this ........
A spectacular vox Reg, although I confess I can no longer tell when you are copping an accent - I suspect you have many convincing voices.
Poor big-hearted monkey. You are going to miss him. But at least he's off of your back, if I'm hearing this parable correctly.
I've been all around
I've been up and down
I said I've traveled in all directions
Now
The world is new
If you've seen what I've seen
And you've been where I've been
I guess you know what I mean
Now
The world is new

A true story about some of my odd dreams
If the world's strongest man
Could hold the world in the palm of his hand
Would he crush us all into dust?
As a way to punish us
These are the kind of things
That seem to occupy me
If a giant…
Poor old Reg he cant figure it out!! ........ since he's been listening to his self help tapes to stop drinking he has never got any money and he just doesn't understand it, he keeps working coming home relaxing to the tape........... then when…
It's a curious thing. I guess that I like this song... I've started to listen to it several times and I have apparently "faved" it, but I can't remember listening to it for the life of me...
An improv in a found tuning. E and A strings tuned WAY down so they're slapping the neck:

Super full moon tonight! (View More for video)
Beautiful. And thanks for pointing out the Super Moon - I spent some time in awe of her Saturday night from the vantage point of a small tent, way out high in the Blue Ridge Mountains...at <30 degrees! Now I know why she appeared so huge!

standing in the cornfield you watch the corn grow and
the searing hot days pass on to night to day to night to day,
taller and taller, until you are one with all there is...
for you are one of them...
your roots dig soil,
your stalk stretches…
Well, who do think came down the cellar last night... Yep! you guested it, Charlie Sheen, he was none too happy. He should have been if the girls with him were anything to go by. He'd come to talk to Elvis about handling the Yes men and how he…
New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…
Reg was talking to Elvis about Frank and he told him something he didn't know.you can have it all then at the end not remember it which is what happened to Frank the grind ground him down a sad ending for a great man......Dementia is a cruel end…

Fantastic mix.

Yeah, great bass. Love the guitar work. Love the vocals too! Heck, I love the whole thing!
Cool vocal effects.
Solid. Love the bass.

Excellent.
Love it!
