Ha! Well, you have a point. In Reg's world, there is a woman named "Ilesa". But I have not been in the pantry with her. Most of the women in Reg's world scare me to death!

really nice,, listening to this in headphones i can almost feel/see the bending/vibrating of the drum skin,, your recordings are very rich it's kind of neat because on one hand,, one might think it's just a simple drum,, but as i listen i always hear so many sound textures/timbre from the way different parts of you hands touch/hit to the different parts of the drum being hit , it's a very rich experience, and that's not even mentioning the wonderful rhythms you show us,,,drums are a very sensual sound,,, very nicely done,,i always look forward to hearing from you Richard
Here's proof. Proof that things are a bit mysterious in my studio.
Late last night my Bass Cajon all of a sudden decided to start accompanying me on its own - without me touching it. At first I thought that some apparitional bass player had…
It was such fun doing this old classic by Leo Sayer......Thanks to Hook for playing the Banjo Drums and Bass and Mixing it to such a great sound....i'm doing the vocals and playing the piano....this was so much fun to do although through work…
I found a cassette tape the other day from 1991 which turned out to be live to 2 track demos that Scartaglen did in the studio in preparation for our 3rd and (as it turned out) final album. This tune didn't make the cut for the record but I always…

Comments on Norm's stuff
It blows my mind how much expression you can make with pure drums -- awesome stuff!
I really like your style -- I normally don't go for pure percussion, but you definitely make it work!
Ha! Well, you have a point. In Reg's world, there is a woman named "Ilesa". But I have not been in the pantry with her. Most of the women in Reg's world scare me to death!
That's not the way Reg tells it...
"Ilesa" is a percussion pattern, not a woman! Otherwise I would have not taken the risk of being caught with her in the pantry!!
but I have to admit that my hot-chili tomato oatmeal-with-pickles pasta I made after this was pretty good. (The bottle of cabernet probably helped too).
I meant "Ilesa"! haha
2SS: Domestic? Yes. Barely. Goddess? Uh, no.
Domestic goddess!

Excellent I'm sure you could play a can of peas and record it and it would sound great

Yes, that is a lovely picture... great light.
Great fun!
Awesome!
Oh, this is very good.
Awesome!
Congrats Chris! It is very gratifying to have such a talented guitarist select your composition for his performance!
Superb!
Very, very clever. And excellent guitar & mandolin work. I love it! Totally pro!
I'm fascinated with what you did with the background percussion here. Shifted??
Great cover. You guys are awesome!
This is wonderful!
Excellent cover of a great band!
Excellent! This works well.
Ahh! A lovely time of year and this sounds just like it. The leaves are peaking right now in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Great work with this one!
Sounds like they dig 6/8 meter.
Ha! This strikes close to the bone, Keith.
Well, yes, there is no right or wrong in music Chris, but taking somebody's noodles is plain wrong, I don't care how you look at it.
Way to bring the jam to the people! Nice improv!
Go team!
