It was a curious and wondrous thing.
One night I was in my studio adding some percussion to the "Quiet Rituals" track by Barry van Oudtshoorn, when my 4 young children (with whom I was long over-due to be tucking into bed and reading a bed…
Wow...
This has got the Awesome Factor big time!
I let my kid do some Synth for one of my tracks the other day... There is nothing in the world greater than Being able to share time like this with them!
I think is is amazing that this is a poem that you heard as a Child as well, and are now recording with your own children..
Warms The Heart Bro!
A Wonderful and Well Performed track!
It's really Spooky as well! Bonus!! :)
Well Done All!!
Peace

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.

Improvisation on congas and very fragile, clay Moroccan bongos (which my brother found for me from an African display at some zoo!). These bongos are basically clay pots with permanent, very thin goat skins stretched over the top - they can not…
great playing! What kind of mics did you use to get such a crisp sound? And..by the way, wouldn't it suk if aliens came and used our skin for drums? lol

How did I miss this? Very cool and original - No idea how you managed to perfectly sync with the piano. Love it, though.
(And yes, it was a while ago, but I still miss my dog. You never get over it do you? But I really see the humor in a sad dude pining away over his lost dog, too!)

I really enjoyed this. I always read alot to my kids, so I understand the special relationship between the favorite books and the kids and parent. And I love that you included them, still kept the artistry serious, and produced a good product.

When I was young, I remember dreaming about what I called "jungle drums"; I'm not sure why. I dreamed your song...long ago in the depths of some astral flight apparently. Thanks for recording it.

Jarvis, yes it does have a "Wipeout" sound to it - I was trying to get that sort of vintage surf music feel into a drum pattern. Now if I can only find a guitarist to do that quick decending "doodle-loodoo-loodle-loodle-loodle-loodle-loodle" surf guitar lick at the very beginning... what in the world do you call that cool sound anyway?
Improvisation on Gon-Bops congas, while thinking of future days gone by.

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…

The relationship is going wrong. You suddenly realize that those so called friends of yours are paying a little bit too much attention to your honey................ (Take 2 remixed to see if i could get the voice cleaner)
With his lottery money Reg has invested in becoming a funk star. The other reg came up with the tune and Reg jumped all over the thing......come and get funky with thetwoReg
another home recording using a Zoom MRS-1044 and 3 mics on the amps and lizzie. the geeky stuff, fender strat with the David Gilmour EMG setup through and Ampeg reverberocket amp. Sam used his boogie amp with his Ibanez.

Nobody knows how, what it will be - the future. We look at it, trying to see, to detect something and ... it goes fade, it's always receding, receding ...

Track 6 on Tarbosaurus Antagonist. Written and recorded from February 2009- January 2010. This is a T.Rex cover, but I didn't want to interrupt the flow of the album.
Reg is addicted to this new lady who has started to frequent down at the cellar she appears as if by magic late in the evening and then seems to disappear before Reg can get close.....
Careful Reg! She could be a hallucination! I don't like the sounds of this... er, well, I mean the sounds of this situation.
The sounds of the song are top-notch, as always.
I thought the hand claps were a bit weird but I wasn't running this dog and pony show. See more notes under "red cowboy" and "I left my toothbrush in St. Louis".
Reg has been trying to learn the art of slowing down, relaxing under the pressure of abstinence.......................it seems to be going well .............

What a great gift to share with your kids. The drums are done superbly...as is all of it. They will have and cherish this forever....
Talk about original! This was fun to listen to. Thanks for sharing.
your tech. is great. I like the title too! lol. Although I wouldn't wanna surf naked in parts of florida now....that oil spill.
being so high up in those awesome blueridge mountains must be good for the musical soul. :) Thanks for sharing.
great playing! What kind of mics did you use to get such a crisp sound? And..by the way, wouldn't it suk if aliens came and used our skin for drums? lol
I'm a percussionist first and foremost so I love this. Awesome jungle jam. Those congas sound nice and full.
You're funny. I just hope now that his child has had a taste of the caribbean flavor, that he doesn't go to pot.
How did I miss this? Very cool and original - No idea how you managed to perfectly sync with the piano. Love it, though. (And yes, it was a while ago, but I still miss my dog. You never get over it do you? But I really see the humor in a sad dude pining away over his lost dog, too!)

very nice!
My Dad played the drums, ha, I thought he did! This is tribal indeed, there's a little tinkle in there too, nice touch.
Thanks Norm for listening! looking forward to hearing Jarvis lay a guitar down on Surf Naked!
Jarvis, yes it does have a "Wipeout" sound to it - I was trying to get that sort of vintage surf music feel into a drum pattern. Now if I can only find a guitarist to do that quick decending "doodle-loodoo-loodle-loodle-loodle-loodle-loodle" surf guitar lick at the very beginning... what in the world do you call that cool sound anyway?
This has a Bluesy feel to it that is screaming out for a guitar to play over.
Nice sort of Spanish sound to this ,makes you want to weave and flick your hips.....owwww me backs gone !!!
This has deffo got a 'Wipeout' Sound to it which will be interesting to somehow avoid in a gtr track.Imay have a stab at it. Nice drumming.
tight, and sprinkled with some interesting perc's brotha !
You got my groove goin' :) Very cool! w;-)

Lovely.
Nice cover!
Yes, the bass line is awesome. Nice work here.
Peachy!
Outstanding.
Careful Reg! She could be a hallucination! I don't like the sounds of this... er, well, I mean the sounds of this situation. The sounds of the song are top-notch, as always.
Excellent!

Ha! I want one of those burritos too!
Hang strong Reg!
