While I'm certain there are those who may be growing weary of scratching, I couldn't resist posting this great mix by Alister Flint, who is truly a master mixologist extraordinaire - he didn't even have individual tracks to work with! Al was too…

Sometimes, as they say, Christmas do come early. I found Johnny Stone's "Christmas Rock In Oz" under the tree and couldn't wait until Yuletide to unwrap it. What a rockin' gift! I know a bit about…
It was a curious and wondrous thing.
One night I was in my studio adding some percussion to the "Quiet Rituals" track by Barry van Oudtshoorn, when my 4 young children (with whom I was long over-due to be tucking into bed and reading a bed…

Aw, we tried to make this a bit more pro, but sometimes the really fun moments in life are fleeting. So here it is warts and all. But don't mind that - just get out onto the dance floor with Reg! It's ok: he's up to date on his shots.
When…

This is a bootleg tape of Reg's last music therapy session from when he was in prison prior to his release. It was acquired from his psychiatrist for fee......................
This is a piece written for a small ensemble of Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass, Flute, French Horn and Percussion in harmonic series tuning using a section from harmonic 12 to 30 reduced to an octave tuning of 15 steps.
This piece is…
I hope you can see the above picture - I scored a 15 chord autoharp zither for $42 on ebay. 4 old guitar strings later (I save them... just in case :-) and a tuning against an organ patch she is working nicely again. Can't wait to show Emily…
In response to a suggestion of Dr. Ozan Yarman I tried a tuning he created for a different project. I realized the composition using Garritan Personal Orchestra Baroque organs, Garritan World sample set Oud and Santoor samples performed on an…
I've really enjoyed this confectionary collection of tastey goodies you have prepared for us. The graham-craker-crust percussion on this one particularly delights my sweet tooth. Well done!
Performed on Fender Mustang, Casio CZ-101 (keys, bass, percussion), vocal. Recorded via overdubbing on two cassette decks with 4 mono input radio shack mixer with radio shack 10 band graphic equalizer. Written in the years of Ronald Reagen's…
Reg has seriously got the blues and can't seem to leave the empty bar, there is just him and Elvis in there. The strange thing is that the tables and chairs are there, the bar and the stools but there is no booze behind the bar just empty glasses…
Reg has left re-hab but now he has to fill those sober hours with something, so he has taken to people watching, but like everything in his life he has become addicted to it, listening in on there private conversation as he follows them, watching…
I think I bit off more than I could actually chew this time and I apologize to Norm and Reg about that. This is a setting of verses from Contemporary English Bible Version of Daniel Chapter 6. I don’t think I orchestrated as much drama from…

A well deserved tribute, and some great beats here, bro! Right on!
Sweet beats and a great tribute!

Norm, I love it. This is all new to me and I'm digging this venue. We'll have to do a song together.
Great beats as always Norm. You can bet I'll be using this. Has anyone done a "Stone Age" playlist yet with all these tributes? hmmm
Beautiful Norm. There will be some great collaborations with this piece for sure! RIP JS
Nice mellow track bro. tempo and beats are right on the money.
Lovely.
That's a beauty Norm! Great stuff!
Performed in whispers. Beautifully and tastefully done Norm.
How cool man we both did a toast to the Stone Age and didn't even know it!! Sweet to hear some new beats from you.
One of your more mellow jams....Rest in peace Johnny.
Comments made by Norm
Excellent!
This is going to get even uglier.
Very nice session. You've come a long ways, Reg.
You know, that photo really says it all. Good grief! Nice work here, Chris!
You can't make the noise if you don't have the toys! Nice find... gotta love ebay for instruments!
Excellent!
Excellent.

Following Reg around today... he knows how to pick them. I made my decision: fave!
Fly fly fly! This is fly!
I REALLY love the R channel guitar riff.
Excellent.
Now this is a crushing burden. Very heavy. How will you carry it Reg? LET IT GO!
Igor is right - don't get too deep into those blues, Reg! I'm starting to worry about your sanity.
I'm glad your liver is feeling better. I just hope that you are being careful not to scare anyone, Reg.
It's a big story to tell in under 5 minutes... but I like what you have done and Reg's vox is great as usual.
Yummy!
