I couldn't resist crossing swords with Alex on this deft song of his which left me quite touchéd!
*Inspired in part at least by accidental meat on meat.*
Here's the original track.

finally got to hear this. there is a distinct didgeridoo sound to it, especially when you start. I wonder what would happened if you bowed the string. - and - how did you pull the wire out of a tire - I want to do that.

Wow! That's freaking awesome! I love instruments like this and the fact that you made your own is killer! Lovely 3 track recording. Nice groove. I would love to hear you expand on this and combine it with some synths or something, but hell either way really really cool!

Excellent norm you really can get a beat out of anything ......we used to play bows and arrows with our Berinbau we just had a bit of string instead of wire and the wood was. Bit of elder kept us occupied for hours in the spiny wood and the only sound we made from it was the loud Fadunk when we let the reed arrows fly at one ofd the cowboys.....
Me and Dave Recorded this to test the levels in the Church when we did some songs in tribute of my Son Ethan the other day.
We Normally record a throw away track before recording something for real.
Improvised, so it gets you in the spirit…
I Can't Seem To Find My Way Home
Featuring Norm on Percussion Track: "Pilón For A New Son"

Lyrics:
Searching for something
I wonder and roam
Hoping the truth
Soon will be shown…
I thought it would be fitting to post this today, on Memorial Day, as a tribute to my friend William Easley, as well as all who have fought and died in wars, American or otherwise.
Sometime back in the 60's William (Billy from here on) heard…
Well, the Unicorn in the glass dust may be the way to you, but Bee's voice is the way to me.
Don't tell Bee, but MY dreams are slightly different: in them I hear her telling me how naughty I am.
Not what I was expecting with a Bee vocal. Cool piece. And, while I can only hope to hear Bee singing when I pass, I hope it is something more along her typical angelic lines.
Rather, it includes Norm's excellent track Pilón For A New Son (http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/piln-for-a-new-son). Was trying to find out how less I can get away with in rhythms while still having enough flow. Feedback welcomed :)
Whoa! That's awesome Tipu!
A big part of the fun for me at AT is tying my patterns to helium balloons and releasing them onto the interweb - there is no telling where they will ever end up or what (if anything) ever becomes of them.
But sometimes somebody nabs one and sends it back so different, so evolved and so reconsidered that I hardly can recognize it. Heard from a completely different clave (or phase shift) with fresh new perspectives (not to mention wonderful mixing, mashing and effects) for vintage patterns. Heard for the first time again...
Yeah, I wax poetic. But man, I just love that.

Texas hold em poker, and going for it all. Open mic acoustic with some alt tuning. Percussion by Norm.
The kokiriko? Norms playing in there actually sounds like shuffling cards- particularly loving the glockenspiel addition he did…

When I sent this song off to Jim, he sent back tracks for a second rhythm guitar, lead guitar, and drums. Bass soon followed, and Kavin's slide dropped in nicely. Just thought I'd let y'all have a listen to what came back to me…
With a little help from some of the lyrics of the Doors descriptions of the uncertainty of the 60's Reg has decided to do a kind of Punk song from both sides about the trouble in England which seems to be igniting the youth to set light and loot…
Instrumental Acoustic Guitar.
Written in 2010 for the wedding of a very good friend of mine, Jason. It was the processional, playing while the wedding crew walked down the aisle. Played it with montgomeru (who also wrote the recessional…

Wow great sound Norm really cool mate.
This has a new sound with all kinds of possibilities. I like the easter egg at the end too. The instrument sounds cool
Very cool. Reminds me of a detuned bass guitar or something. I think I need me one of these as well. :)
Me too me too! I wants one! I have a berimbau app but it dont sound near this good.
Had a slapping time making lunch
Can I order one?
finally got to hear this. there is a distinct didgeridoo sound to it, especially when you start. I wonder what would happened if you bowed the string. - and - how did you pull the wire out of a tire - I want to do that.
This is amazing, Norm! Love the ending. I think you should go into the berimbau making business!
Wow! That's freaking awesome! I love instruments like this and the fact that you made your own is killer! Lovely 3 track recording. Nice groove. I would love to hear you expand on this and combine it with some synths or something, but hell either way really really cool!
wow, that's impressive!
Hi Norm......nice groove man.........its got my head shaking, my arms shivering, my back bouncing, my legs levitating

Lovely!
Oh you brought it home alright! Excellent!
Here's to Billy!
All of your stuff is just excellent!
Well, the Unicorn in the glass dust may be the way to you, but Bee's voice is the way to me. Don't tell Bee, but MY dreams are slightly different: in them I hear her telling me how naughty I am.
Great to hear from you again Rick! The surf must have been exceptionally good for quite awhile... Awesome work!
I loved that album.

Wow, has it already been a year?? Are you attending the gathering this year?
They say a cut dog bears no pups, but I've got nothing but a pair of Indians. I'll meet you back at the Winnebago...
Excellent Reg!
Way to work it Daawg!
The drums do work here.
Ha! No, I'm afraid Hank Thompson got it right the first time, regardless of what Kitty Wells sang. Great version!
How did I miss this? LET IT BURN!
Gin. Nice work!
Mandolishous!
3/4 is perfect for a processional!
Boom!
