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.

I must admit that those drums do rather make me want to get up and dance.
This is a great track guys!
Nope, I don't notice any warts, not even a little pimple!

Once again,, very fine,,, long ago,, people used to clear the floor also when i got up to dance,, but it wasn't because i was good, or they wanted to watch,, i think it was more out of a desire to get away from the strange guy,, ah well youth.. well done
In Argentina they say "in Argentina everything may change - except the tango", but I couldn't resist adding some percussion to this beautiful nuevo tango by Vincent Voois, composed in the style of Astor Pantaleon Piazzolla.
Check out Vincent…
Improvisation on Gon-Bops congas, while thinking of future days gone by.

LYRICS
A cool wind brings the fall
And the season starts to change.
Outside the sky's steel grey.
Inside my heart is too.
And I don't know how to…
Ok, so I'm just a percussionist, and if your only tool is a hammer, the entire world looks like a nail. I get it. And I also get that our songs are our children, so we should be very careful about whom we let them play with.
When I first heard…
For this Mother's Day week, a conga improvisation dedicated to Saint Monica and all the other mothers who surreptitiously provide for and incessantly pray for their children. Thanks Mom!

This is one stereo track of 6 conga drums tuned, by ear, to roughly a chromatic scale (I don't know which one - perhaps I've gone micro-tonal!) coupled with a single track of ad-lib quinto (the high drum) and a "shuffle" groove on trap-set…

Took the advice and put on the headphones. Oh yeah!
Most enjoyable!
Faith? Much better than hindsight, when you know you should have taken the basket but didn't.

This song was inspired from all the snowstorms we have been having this winter, another on the way tonight.....I decided to prog it out for this one....prog-rock.....lets bring it back.
Nothing like getting behind the skins when you are sentimental. Happens to me all the time. The skins don't mind tears.
Nice skin work here (the pattern is "Tumbao").
I just heard the Ramen #3 version of this and it totally blew me away!
Furthermore, I sickenly realized that I have posted a piece by the same name, a long time after you posted this one. I apologize for this and have changed the name of my posting (but a similar story to yours... first recording in a new house!!)
Strong work team. I'm a big fan!
Outland (The Ballad of Jarrod X)

Mother, why did you lie to me?
I didn't have to make the same mistakes as you.
Father, why did you run away?
There was so many things left unspoken with you.
Jarrod walks…
Chris sent me this great tune playing his 17 ET guitar and fretless bass, and for some reason i thought Mafia instantly. Sammy the Bull was the under-boss to John Gotti back in the 80's and 90's and he turned informer to bring John Gotti down…

It's always tough for the manager when a "walk-in" steals the show and the crowd clearly prefers him to the scheduled act! Well done! Very soulful bro!
Van Gogh, On the Threshold of Eternity
Gary from music by computer suggested a re-master with less drum volume - your choice http://micro.soonlabel.com/17-ET/daily20110125b-17-reasons-I-hate-the-blues.mp3
I've had severe computer trouble…
Reg has been up to his womanizing ways and has ended up dancing on his own. reg came up with another great funky tune and Reg had to jump all over again. Hope you Funk IT.........
**instantly stikes the bait, swallows deeply for the gut hook - can't help myself**
Bethan: It is asking too much to expect either Reg to behave himself. Funkmasters, by definition, can't behave.
Now this is just perfect. Funk is what you were born to do. Please provide much more like this.
Comments on Norm's stuff
Norm's overdubing percussion is a tight add on to this sweet funky Rreggy track. love it!
A great job there Norm those skins are definitely helping Reg's dance...........
I must admit that those drums do rather make me want to get up and dance. This is a great track guys! Nope, I don't notice any warts, not even a little pimple!
@ Richard: Keep dancing Richard - I'm right behind you and it's not going to be pretty.
Once again,, very fine,,, long ago,, people used to clear the floor also when i got up to dance,, but it wasn't because i was good, or they wanted to watch,, i think it was more out of a desire to get away from the strange guy,, ah well youth.. well done
I don't know how i missed this .... now where did i put those dancing shoes?........
yep yep yep...
Thank you for your nice comments,let us say that you have a lot of very interesting ideas using you percussion,here and there!
Ah the rich flavorful sound of the Conga is super:) thank you for that Norm!
Yes, like the Reg's say, excellent.
Faith is a gift, not something you can independently improve.
My basket is always half full......
I need to fix my basket. Inspirational, Norm.
excellent
Improv or not, this is really awesome.
a refreshing change up. one of my favs. forget the metronome. really like the (gong)? in the beginning too
Most excellent! Love that bit where the downbeat gets hidden for a time and then returns. Very cool!

Lovely.
This is a masterpiece!
Lovely!
Tragic!
Fabulous story.
Your vocals are too hot for covers.
Oh so funky.
To quote Dorthy Parker: "That poor SOB". Strong work Chris!
I had to read a bit about "modal", which I still don't understand. But I know this much: this rocks hard. Many thanks! Here's hoping for a blizzard!
It's always tough for the manager when a "walk-in" steals the show and the crowd clearly prefers him to the scheduled act! Well done! Very soulful bro!
I hate the fact that your percussionist is quite clever.
Love the Rhodes! Cool boat sounds too. What a horrible time in history.
Boom chickie dig-gity boom ba! Excellent collaboration!
Love the percussion pattern here.
