As chance had it, I found myself in an acoustically great room, full of cajons! Well, they were unfinished cabinets actually, but they had lovely tones. Since this is the stuff dreams are made of, I had no choice but to seize the opportunity and…
well.... tell your wife you'll build her a new addition if she lets you keep this room as is :-)
nice - the sound is so surprisingly robust and resonate in tone.

Good lord this is creative! It's amazing you percussion-heads buy any gear at all :)
And a mesmerizing track as well. I could picture a tribe of cannibals playing this to their captured meal, making him/her relaxed, subdued and presumable more tender!

Caveat emptor: I did absolutely none of the drumming in this piece.
WORLD PREMIER! FIRST RECORDING OF THIS PATTERN - EVER!

Dude, of course this is an instant fav. Yemey and I were hanging out in Togo when I first showed him this pattern. I call it the "King of Windsor" pattern. Naturally, he couldnt tell you this as his english is Kwaai. The lyrics are old too, its about my brother, Norm, the last time he went pheasant hunting. Excellent, man thanks for sharing this

Reg has re-leaved his inner thespian tonight in another reading........... this time........... The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge...Done in one take mistakes and all ......he hadn't come across this one since his school…
jqscutt posted the acoustic guitar track looking for ideas, not sure if it turned into the genre he was looking for :)
The auuuggga horn sound was another classic unplanned phone interruption during the vocal recording but it seems to fit in…
Oh well, nothing like going to a middle school music function to break writers block, all those posters and flare about achievement...
Special thanks to my sons middle school band, The Preston Pumas playing at the end !
The energy levels were at an all time high this weekend when Bon and jimi turned up down the Cellar for a session. Here's a little something from the session........... Reg'n'Roll...other Reg really blisters the guitar on this one
OH WHAT A…
I heard M.T.C's Session 1 today and thought wow!!! so asked if it was ok if i could jump on for the ride..Jim said Ok! .......so here goes.........a song about loves dream being broken.........thanks again Jim...................based around these…
Reg, while I appreciate that you are obtaining musical inspiration reading bed-time stories to your children, do *not* use this interpretation of Edward Lear's poem to tuck them in - and this song is way to rockin' to put anyone to sleep.
Okay...it's still a sloppy mess...but that's what you get when you have earthquakes, a new-born baby, a nuclear disaster, broken bones in your hand and a whole-lotta "uuuuuuuuuuurgh!" to get out of your system. Somedays, you just gotta play in…
I can only imagine the relief/disbelief one has when they get out of one of those emergency shaft elevators. This piece is great for that... ascending.

An animated score is below. Ironicly this is scored for a quintet - piano, guitar, bass, sax, and drums. Probably one of the more famous 5/4 time songs.
11. Mermaid
My Casio-tune (for the Casio Challenge) Recorded through a microphone so you can hear me tapping away at the crappy little keys of the SA-3. Since it started to sound very sinister and reminded me also of the sea I wanted to add lyrics…
key of C - no capo
We listen for years for words to explain ourselves. "I'm good but not THAT good," was such a moment for me. Good enough to stay in the game but never good enough to win.
Last night I kissed somebody
I kissed somebody…
Too Many Years
It's been too many years since I've seen you
But sometimes that face appears before me
I still don't understand what went on
I refuse to believe that you could possibly really hate me
And of the people that I have known
You remain…
apologies to the fab four
scored for orchestral percussion, harp, harpsichord, dbl bass, string ensemble, men's choir and flute.
Interesting aside...
This is the only Beatles song covered by The Residents - because it is the only Beatles song…
This time of year I start to think of stealing pumpkins again... I think I'll have this one playing on my piepod, underneath the black knit dock hat and face paint.
@ Shirt: Thanks! Those sounds are from a matched set of "vibratones". The first sound is from an "ocean drum" (with reverb) and the final drone is from a "spring drum". The click sounds in the groove are a Japanese "Kokiriko" and a steel "Merengue guiro".
My cyber friend Tony Jones , added some keys , percussion and lead , transforming my song into something i couldn't have dreamed of
To the Welsh Wizard , many thanks
Comments on Norm's stuff
well.... tell your wife you'll build her a new addition if she lets you keep this room as is :-) nice - the sound is so surprisingly robust and resonate in tone.
they sound excellent ! Is there a way you can stop with your kitchen remodel and keep the cabinets as they are???
Wow, you are indeed a man of many talents! Pat Eby
Bit hard to add anything to this one. Jolly good show.
Bloody hell, I bet you could make my kitchen sing!
Good lord this is creative! It's amazing you percussion-heads buy any gear at all :) And a mesmerizing track as well. I could picture a tribe of cannibals playing this to their captured meal, making him/her relaxed, subdued and presumable more tender!
Damn! They did have lovely tones! I gotta download some of your stuff to jam to. Is that a bottle of Guinness on the shelf? Good man yourself!
Syncopation Like no other! Loving this! Reminds me Of my trip to Nigeria! Is it Africa-fest on the site or something? FAVED!
You have done it again Bro! From The First beat, I was Hooked! Love it!
This is amazing!
wow - this is complicated!! and cool!
WOW! Amazing stuff!
Gobsmacked !
I love it. It sounds true and real and natural. I LOVE it.
Had to listen again....still love it!
pure percussion genius!
@RW: Ha! Thanks, but that's a bold faced lie - I've never missed a pheasant.

very very nice!
Yes - I love it. Masterfully played and produced. It's a really tight beat, and sounds as one in a lot of places. Very impressive!
Comments made by Norm
Fantastic ranting!

Love the cello. Love the harmonies. Love the backing guitar work. Hate the phone. Your phone is the devil.
You are definately not living in middle C. Let me know when you hear that knocking at the door, so we can both charge through it...
Now this rocks!

Yeah... that's a lot to go through in one year. I hope all is well with you and yours. the keys are key in this.
I can only imagine the relief/disbelief one has when they get out of one of those emergency shaft elevators. This piece is great for that... ascending.
Excellent!
A classis indeed.
I like the tapping... great percussive feel.
Excellent. Very clever.
Optimist!
Very nice!
Nice! Drumming sounds great and the guitar work is excellent.
I didn't realize that this is the only song all 4 created together... one of their best IMHO. Wild video!

@RW: Ooooh, nice to see that you are in touch with the church calendar. I put it out a day early...
