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.

I encountered a lost tribe of pseudo-urban Animistic shamans along the Baltimore Freight Railway in a dark and dismal tunnel. They allowed me to sit down and record this before i was on my way.

Please hit "more" — March 01, 2010 — I take a stab at performing a song live on video in several takes. Since this was an improvisation with a couple takes here and there it is not as polished as some may like.

Lyrics:
Have you heard this story of the Hot Rod Race…
When I wrote this song.... It was about staying true to your Ideals...
In fact... It is about a person that put me in a very difficult situation....
One that effected my life for a while... Just for doing the right thing...
I think…
Many nebulae form from the gravitational collapse of gas in the interstellar medium. As the material collapses under its own weight, massive stars may form in the center, and their ultraviolet radiation ionises the surrounding gas, making it visible…
This is a demonstration piece in A minor.
The left channel is a Korg MS 2000 voice with a split keyboard that is driven from the Roland GR-20 as I play my guitar that you hear in the right channel + GR-20 piano - all played against a session…

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!
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.

I've been in drum circles with some of those guys... you'd better check for your wallet!
Excellent slide guitar work, great vocals.
Aaye likes this one all the way down to the bottom of my arrrgyle socks!
Well done! Tight and pro - but I don't get the lyrics... what's wrong with me???
Awesome bass and really cool stereophonic uke hook. Your onion brought some tears to my eyes... and definately kept mine moving!
Ouch! My neck is a bit sore from aggressively nodding my head to the beat!Good one!
Man, that IS a cool bass riff. Great piece!
Ha! Forget The 61 - this is awesome. It's great to see you play too. More tastey Vaisvil guitar goodness!
...if I had any pipes. But, man, unless you want to peel paint, I'm going to need to stick to the occassional narration. ;) Thanks for listening!
More Doors! *Excellent*
Menacing! Great guitar work here!
I agree! Smooookin'!
Strong work!
