At a recent charity event held in my small town's train museum, I was admiring a massive brass train bell when the curator walked up to me. I commented that a bell would really rather be heard then seen, and he agreed. I offered to digitally record…
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…
I miss you too, bud! Just listened to the Cabin Jam you did with Jim - Freakin' Sweeeeeeet!!!
Wow, you're a harp man! This collab is dynomiiiiiite!!! Chris did a killer with the guitar work and you took it to the next level big time.

The island of Cuba was a Spanish possession for almost 400 years (1511-1898). The land-owning elite held social and economic power, supported by slaves, both indigenous and of South American and African descent, until slavery was abolished…
Regarding your reluctance to being in a pantry with Reg's women ....
Ha ha Norm, you wouldn't? Where's your sense of adventure?
While listening to your fascinating sounds I'm wondering what dish I could make of the ingredients shown.

Axe fx, udu drum and some shakers.
Title is in deference to my sister. This song reminds me of something she might come up with but when it comes to songwriting, I'll always be in her shadow.
Product of noodling around. Lead guitars are a combo of UAD's Nigel plugin and the Fractal Axe Fx. Clean guitars are the Fractal. The outro guitars are my Princeton Recording amp.
I played the piano's through my midi guitar and Axon. You can…
Well, already fave'ed by aliens!
I'm in.
Excellent collaborative effort. Wonderful mix. Love your voice here Reefwalker, even that crunchy part at 2 minutes is cool. More cello!
Yep - you said knee pads.
My first upload.
This is a cover of probably my favourite song of all time, by The Waterboys, who were introduced to me many years ago when the highlight of my week was Thursday night TV, pizza and quaffing Baileys.
Thanks to Sister S for…
Reg had a bit of tiff with the Mrs so he stormed down the cellar to release his anguish with Elvis and turned it into this little beauty .....now he feels a lot better and is making Mrs Reg a nice cup of tea to say sorry....because lets face it…
Excellent work! Welcome back other Reg!
@ Beth: Well, since you had to ask! Yes, the percussion here is very nice: I would classify this not as Bossanova (a Brazilian pattern built upon Samba type rhythms). To my ear, this is afro-cuban and would be in the "Son" (aka Salsa) family, in which the "2" is the primary accent. There are a variety of patterns in this family, differing primarily in tempo:
Bolero; Guajira<104; Danzón = 104-132; Cha-Cha = 108-126; Son = 122-224; Son Montuno = 184-216; Mambo = 224-264.
Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity…
This tune came about by total chance.
I recorded the Backing track during a spare half an hour one night this week ... Just a Noodle...
Met up with Aaron today by total chance and he was up for recording a vocal on it.

I did this one to Norms track Proof....... it's about a disturbing dream...... i hasten to add it was Reg's dream not mine. So blame him................
I'm shipping my canon off so it can have a new career without me.
Its such a happy yet sad occasion to see your instrument leave the nest..... ;-[
so I had to spend just a little more time with it.
Something the Gritter wrote about the Beatle cover i did rang a bell that turned into an alarm and now it's a song Thanks Sandy The best Cowboys do have Chinese eyes that ain"t no lie.....oh and thank you Pete too.......for actually coming up with it
Clint Eastwood has Chinese eyes. I think you are absolutely correct.
Jose Wells: "Are you a bounty hunter?"
Bounty Hunter: "Yep. A man's got to do something for a living."
Jose Wells: "Dying ain't much of a living, boy."
Samples used in this tune from the NY subway this summer. Inspired by Dave Dunseath
3-12, just uploaded a new version of this with guitar- and some other changes
This song is about all the Austin bands that tried to make a living with their original music in the Austin, TX area in 1991. Lots of Austin bands got their start playing at the Black Cat Club on 6th street in Austin playing for the door. This…

So intriguing! That's really cool!

Thanks Norm! Yeah I have been on a musical sabbatical and lots of ocean time, you nailed it!
Wonderful stuff........harmonistic

Hey you're a natural at this harmonica stuff - this sounds great together!
Comments made by Norm
Wow, Norda Mullen can really work that flute. What a treat to play with her!
Lovely!
Excellent! Love the Udu.
Tasty piece! Adored by aliens too!

Great song, which I had not heard before. Well done!
Ha! Reefwalker is right... the sounds of anguish strike a real chord for all of us who have done exactly that!
@RW: Count me in too.

That's it. I quit.
Sounds like great fun! Nice hats.
