As I had nothing better to do last night, I had this great idea that I would construct a rhythm for the 24 hour challenge. This would be different: a 24 minute drum solo (I mean, who wouldn't love that?). I even had a perfect bass riff: the "Mother…
Long drum solos aren't for everyone - I get it. Just do what many at Grateful Dead concerts did and look at it as an opportunity to go get another beer. On the other hand, if you are the sort of person who cheers at the fireworks show, I hope…

The chorus of this groove is in 5/4 and the verse in 9/4. You can hear me fall apart at the very end… guess I got worried.

*And don’t forget*

I think if you could see the details of the painting more closely you would be able to see that in fact they are rolling die at the dinner table: Red Riding Hood has just rolled her 5th natural 7 on the come-out. Moments after the instant of this painting, the gent on the right flips the table over and Mr. Skull-cap slips Red a shiv.

The reunion was on...they came from far and wide....it was held on Easter Sunday down at.....the new cellar of Regs...chiseled in to the Yorkshire Granite ....sound proofed....bomb proof.....as they say it started with a beat...everything was…
The new cellar is sounding good! And hopefully, now that it has a new location, you will have better luck keeping Desire and her associated riff-raff out of the place.

Recently, my wife and I discovered the TV show Portlandia, and it has become our Saturday morning ritual to watch the latest episode with our coffee. Anyways, I kind of got the theme song (http://www.ifc.com/fix/2011/02/portlandia-whats-that…

When I was a music major one of my friends had a family which ran a funeral home - a well paid profession seeing that they had several cars, maids and butlers - and spent a few nights there. (We tended to stay up to the early am debating…
I was thumbing a ride along a hot, deserted Caribbean road. When Steve pulled up in this vintage pre-war Chevy, I was very grateful. It just so happened he was heading to the same cantina I was, so we kicked back with a pitcher of mojitos…
I put locking tuners and flat wound chrome strings on my 17 edo axe. Oh and I quieted the hum quite a bit. There will be more coming. Been a busy week - I think this is the first music I've made all week. I'm outta practice. A whirl with the whammy…

@Slkrell: Many thanks! Of course. All of my stuff is up for grabs and I would love to hear what you do with it!
Menacing!
Aww Reg. We are all your friends!

I totally dig Wilford Brimley. And this song too! Great to hear something new from you, Launched.
Excellent!
