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…
Drum-n-bass composition I did back in 2004 via digital-razor-blade technique with an additional fat synth line. That's it. Hear something you want to add? Go for it!
Another of Reg's loves in through the out door...................
SHE’S GONE (Lyrics)
She doesn’t need me
she doesn’t want me
She has gone
She’s closed the door on my life although i’ve done no wrong
i Can’t tell what she wants

I was listening to Andy Casson's song Old ladies over on Songcrafters and it got Reg thinking........... could this be the last song i ever hear................so Reg went down the cellar to write a one chord song using only the notes that make…
Reg has been thinking he's fed up with all this celebrity crap.......the emperor is naked can't you see..........
CELEBRITY STRIFE (Lyrics)
I’ve said this once
I’ve said this twice
I don’t give a damn about the celebrities life
About who…
Elvis got philosophising in the cellar again last night.........................so Louie and Reg got Bluesy with him and this is what turned out of the session.........
DREAMER(Lyrics)
Well I asked the mirror if my dreams would come true…
Sometimes it seems ... No: it always seems that we are all in some kind of closed squirrel circle, and we all run, run... away? Both I and thou. Why? The meaning of life whether it?
No, I'm not crying or whatever boring. I just wondering…
Charlie, I too have a fascination with "The Theme Song From Peter Gunn"... one of my favorite from Mancini. The francesca vocal fx is slightly reminiscent of the skat singing of Edie Hart, so I am sure this would fit right in at *Mother's*.
A steel string guitar improvisation I did last night before bed called “A Nagging Thought“. The piece prominently features a V+ to i (augmented dominant to minor tonic) movement. I usually don’t care for the sound of an augmented tried but in…
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!
this is excellent - and unique!

Dooodley doo dodo do da da da......doodeley adoo dodo da da da ......yeh! I've got tune for this one I'm sure excellent beat Norm
Oh yeah!! Bustin' out my D harp and jammin' the high end. Cool stuff Norm. I'm glad you took up the harmonica.
nice. and i like the reverby harmonica :)
Reg - he did do something like that one day - and yes it was great!
Excellent I'm sure you could play a can of peas and record it and it would sound great

Comments made by Norm
Excellent percussion work!
Really rocks!
I dig it!
Stand strong Reg.
In some cases, we can only hope it is the last time.
Ah! Reg, you are right. I thought she looked familiar. I wonder what she is looking at - no doubt somebody has dropped their wallet on the sofa.
They say a good wine has nice legs...
Debt is not what "eats the soul", Reg.
Tough to beat a monk and monkey combination. Nice work!!
Let's all kill our televisions! Good one Reg.
Get a new mirror, Reg. Great vox as always!
Speechless.
This is another gem from you! This really moves! Great vocal work.
Awesome!
Time to start stealin' again! Nice build up and dreamy guitar.
Excellent question...
This would be good to play while the credits are rolling at the end of the Reg movie...

Best bass groove of all time. I can't help but think of the Blues Brothers and the old arcade game "Spy Hunter" when I hear this.
Auuugh! Once seen, never to be forgotten... regrettably. Fortunately, once heard, not forgotten either. Nice work!
