I dreamed I met a Galilean;
A most amazing man.
He had that look you very rarely find:
The haunting, hunted kind.
I asked him to say what had happened,
How it all began.
I asked again, he never said a word.
As if he hadn't heard.
And…
A second version with the initial lead guitar standing alone...a little cluttered after a few listens and some constructive feedback!
Norm's Groove for St Monica inspired this one. Thanks Norm!
Lead Guitar, bass guitar and acoustic guitar…

Typical Desirea. He must have had more money than you did... and heaven only knows what horrors he eventually had to go through with her. Just be grateful that *you* dodged that bullet, and Reg, *let this be a leason for you.*
Reg has nipped down the cellar tonight to contemplate the big question...this is what he came up with ...he could be wrong who knows...and now he's going for a nice hot bath...............
Reg heard the color of the lonely street by Vaisvil and Norbert and got himself all Jazzy inside.... so he's released it .........by going out for a walk along the lonely street..........
The husbands point of view to this one http://alonetone.com/thetworegs/tracks/your-never-too-old-to-be-a-fool-w-the-old-grey-wolf..... Well Reg has taken on the part of the wronged husband and has been dwelling on his problems all day and now…

My Fender Mustang + Marshall Amp + I dragged out the whammy bar - AKG D950 mic behind the amp and Zoom H2 in front - dropped the tracks into sonar and panned a bit. I also midi recorded the guitar and used the midi to drive upright bass, albino…

Great cover of a great song. Well done team!
Superb album! Many thanks!
The synth work is heavenly. I want to do the percussion for the car chase scene in the Savage gangster movie.
Totally pro.
Yes, very impressive! Great stuff.

This would be a big hit in the Dominican Republic. Nice work, mon.
What can I say?
Strong work.

Good cover and good riddance!
