Hey Norm,
Thanks for the okay on playing along. I'll try to find the time to work on it this week. Thankfully, summer vacation is on the way and I can really spend more time recording...
And thanks for coming by and listening to some of my stuff. If you really want to get the flavor of this February's complete CD, check out the playlist "Late December" if you'd like to hear this year's RPM album in order rather than back to front.

Well I believe you had a visit from the ghost of funky percussion. This is really really cool man. I love the little rolls in there, and it has a killer driving beat.

"High Life" is a musical genre that originated in Ghana in the 1900s and spread to Sierra Leone, Nigeria and other West African countries by 1920. My friends from that part of the world consider this be the "go-to" rhythm for just about anything…
Love this track, Norm! Would you mind if I messed around with a little acoustic rhythm guitar alongside your outstanding drums? I've got the capo up on the second fret and this beat has me playing in a way I never have before!
Ilesa is a city located in the south west of Nigeria. This is a traditional rhythm pattern of the same name - but I'm not sure of the significance of the name.
I played on 3 congas, accented with bell clave, block and cowbell, of course…

I couldn't resist crossing swords with Alex on this deft song of his which left me quite touchéd!

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.

Have you ever been let down badly by that so called friend and lost hope in the very idea of friendship........
I Need a friend (Lyrics)
I need a friend who doesn’t need me
i need a friend who doesn’t bleed me
i need a friend who doesn’t hurt…
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.

With my buddy Tod's killer drum track! Miss all you guys, I can't keep up...

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…

Top beat Norm

nice work - it must have been your doppelganger joining in !
Well I believe you had a visit from the ghost of funky percussion. This is really really cool man. I love the little rolls in there, and it has a killer driving beat.
Storming and raunchy.

Excellent!

@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!
*The Giving Tree*: a classic Silverstein.
Here's to home made instruments! And here's to Paddy: good riddance to those snakes, lamenting or not.
Excellent!
Gorgeous.
Creepy!
Whoooo, this cooks!
@Jarvis: That may be the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. Many thanks!
Awesome!
Hahahhahaha!
Yes, ofcourse I knew it. Well done.
@Kavin: Ha! Yes you did. Nice suggestion - I'm glad you pointed that out to me. :)
