@Richard: Many thanks! The quick rapid tone was created by rapidly striking the mallets on the highest pitched (smallest)cabinet. Thanks for listening!

excellent!! very rich sound,, every few measures or so i hear a? quick rapid tone,, how are you making that?.. this is very neat

Do it, Dave!

So nice. One of these days I am going to take one of your fantastic drum tracks and add something. I shoudl try a jam over this right now with the mandolin.

great, uplifting and fantastic.

Stunning stuff! Gotta love polyrhythms! And impressively tight as well - the man sure got rhythm! :D

Awe inspiring performance.

Time to mic up the kitchen sink.

I wish I was Donkey Cong!

nice, those are some great cabinets...

Very nice, love the "real deal."

@Sha-Pink: Thanks! I have a wide variety of different drums - you can get one view of my studio from the cover of my "collaborations" playlist. Various congas, bongos, djembes, bass drums, bells and effects instruments... but no trap-set.

Hi Norm, what kind of percussion set up do you have? You got the rhythm in you.

Wow. If I could add more I would, but this has me stuck at "wow"

i loved this tune, congrats!

Jeez, Norm, this is great stuff. This gives me the urge to start whacking stuff in the kitchen to see what sounds I can get. Now if I can just get everyone out of the house for a bit...

very very cool..

Seems a shame to finish those cabinets. Put doors on them and the wife will just fill them with dishes and useless stuff like food for the kids! They're such great instruments.

there is "rain forest" written all over this! simply excellent..

What the ? Is there anything that you won't strike rhythmically with a stick or something else.....don't let B+Q know( or whoever else sells DIY stuff over there if not B+Q )

I dig that ebowed electric mandolin! Thanks for carrying me, Chris!

Ha! I have an ear for vintage Vaisvil!

Great guitars. I was suprised that this was a 2010 piece... reminds me of some of your vintage stuff.

Excellent!

Yes, beautiful.

Very strong. Love the sound check!

Excellent. I like the drum work too. The guitar bridge rules.

How fun. Barkeep - another round for the band!

Nice one! Drum track sounds very nice - you should get your kit back out!

Here it is baby: This is your best vocal work ever... not nearly as sexy as the sister's rendition (and I love the shock value of a girl singing this one – I really hope that gem gets posted too) but your enthusiasm is infectious and it brings me joy to hear you torturing your fretless guitar. Was that a bit of a laugh I heard at one point? Well, it works for you. Call me country… Trap set? We don’t need no stinking trap sets. Tambourine, cajón and cymbals.

Excellent. Nice work!

Cool production. Work on the title.

If I lived closer to you, I would drag a couple conga drums along and join you at the retirement facility! Very honorable!

What a nice thing for you to do. Well done!

Beautiful.

Still excellent.

Yes, yes, YES!

@ Chris: Excellent! Good ear - yes, it's a 4vs.6 cross-over.

The most excellent thing about this, besides your trade-mark sweet stringing, is how you phrased this so very differently than I had ever heard it. That's one of the charms of rhythm - how you hear it depends upon where you are starting from. I think I much prefer your ear to mine with this one. Many thanks.

Yes, this is very beautiful. Well done!
