A 7/8 improvisation on a set of 3 Bata drums, accented with afucha, tube shekere and cowbell.
The number 7 is a symbol for perfection or completeness: 7 colors in a rainbow, 7 musical notes in a scale, 7 days = a week, etc.

This is really nice work - laid back and exotic. Very nice balance between the music and the percussion - tastefully done. Since I'm listening before the description went up I'm very curious who you collaborated with - they did a nice job on the music.
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…

Lyrics
Take the lift and your half way up....
Reach the top and your half way up...
You didn’t see your rise, and Lost your way.....
Looking down on the world your tears fall...
You Missed the Beauty of the climb.
And now you’re…
This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

Reg has just gotta get on gone, he wants to move out from his old lady's into reg's place where it's happening, what with Elvis in the cellar and his visiting friends jammin all night, Reg is almost living there anyway. So now he has decided to…
Jamming with a couple buddies. I screwed the lyrics up but it was fun to do. Who doesn't want to at least try an AC/DC tune?

Another routine Vaisvil piece. Oh, and by routine I mean:
Hang drums.
Ebow.
17 note octaves.
Fretless bass.
Outrageous prose that is difficult to logically follow.
Exploding fish.

RPM 2011 - my first track recorded and the opening track for the CD
A kind of Old Time gospel number, which, if you listen to those pre-war guitar playing preachers, are virtually indistinguishable from blues. Except for the lyrics…
I heard this by Norm and it got me thinking about an idea of an old friend who turns up in need, its a surprise , you haven't even thought of him in the last six months and here he is what do you do?............
Well it had to happen sometime, he couldn't go on living the way he was, even with those full throttle hands there was no excuse, he was guilty....... guilty as charged........RPM2011
Comments on Norm's stuff
Stunning.
I absolutely adore melodic drums...and while delicate...this is one HEAVY and head-bobbin' groove. Nice one...very nice one.
I think we all have our different way's to bring life deeply back in our soul's again.. Well done..
yes ! sendin' me
cool collabatone and good balance.
That is some sweet music going on there fellas. Damn good.
Wow! I loved this track before, but you just made it HOT.
Man that's awesome norm!!! Only just getting round to hearing it but love what you did here. Cant stop physically moving me 'ed to it (which is a shame in a way cos i have a hang over!). Its a great sound.. honoured!
fantastic great collab
Nice groove there. Shades of Santana without the guitar of course.
@Chris: Man you are fast! I didn't realize the song would post before the description...

Wonderful little tune!
What a warm tone, nice job.
I love it. And the back story rocks. :)
What a beaut!!! I love those Y-Class's, I have an HO model of one.... Work that thang, of yeah! LG

Great sound Norm the only shame is that Dave got the polishing the bell joke in before me...............
excellent field work my brother, I know you have other samples from this gem, send me a wav.
Comments made by Norm
Excellent.
Beautiful Kirk!
Go Reg Go! Delores was no good for you anyway... Reg won't mind putting you up for awhile and you two can work on a few tunes in the meantime.
Way fun!
What a story!
I agree with the Captain: this is very good. Please, more details on how you produced this!
Yes, this is excellent! Great voice!
Another routine Vaisvil piece. Oh, and by routine I mean: Hang drums. Ebow. 17 note octaves. Fretless bass. Outrageous prose that is difficult to logically follow. Exploding fish.
Excellent!
What a lovely tribute!
I'm afraid that I must fave anything that Bethan loves so much. And I quite agree with her. Outstanding work, ladies.
Now this really works! Well done!
Kidneys? Most excellent!
She was no good for you anyway, Reg. And a good bender may be necessary to get over it... but don't crawl into that bottle. Stick to the tea!
Someday may not be soon enough. I want a pre-war guitar playing preacher for my church. Well done!
A blast from the past. Still sounds great, Chris.
Don't do it Reg!
Je dirais - l'eau bleue, mais alors je ne suis pas français. En tout cas, je l'aime ! Le merveilleux, la caractéristique Doug Sparling solide.
How in the world did I miss this?? We may never know your friends song...
We're going to miss you Reg!
