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 T(OsCKilO)

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!)

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.

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;-)

You make that Roland sound like an entire symphony! Sis is right, quite menacing.

Groove me out, bass daddy!

Yep. It's official. I finally broke through micro-tonally! Vaisvil plotted the conga scale sample at the end of the track on his V-vocal software, which demonstrated the 6 note scale I used ran from F to C#. So much for tuning via my tin ear - but on the other hand maybe my micro-tonal appreciation is just maturing.

Brian sets an irresistible trap for catching some wild Vaisvil saxamaphone. Well done!

I like both riffs - and that big, phat bass sound. Thanks for working with the "Itchy" pattern... it had an itch that couldn't quite get scratched, and the only cure was some funky bass!

Well, I don't know what I don't know, but I do know that your guitar work rocks and is just what my "Skin On Skin" pattern needed! It was a banner idea of yours to combine the two of them - thanks for sinking about it.

I've always found that talking to God involves much more listening then talking. And listening to this is a pleasure, as my ear matures to appreciate micro-tonal work. And, I suspect, you will miss the view from the undisclosed location.

Yeah, I'm still diggin' it too.

Beautifully understated. I sure that your better worse half loves you all the worse better for it...

Nice playing and good job recording/mixing as well!

Nice one! Don't put it back!

I posted a remix today which adds Lexicon "Drum Hall" reverb and a bit of compression.

Ahem. It's a "Quartet in Space" only because actually physically putting these 5 guys in the same room would simply not be safe, but you can be certain it would sound fantastic.

You + a self-modified fretless guitar + a universe of microtonal possibilities = we’re never going to get you off of that thing! Brilliant! Bold move! I can’t wait to hear some more of this.

You rat. That last voice sample caught me off guard... brought tears to my eyes, of course. That's my dad! What a nice Father's Day tune! Outstanding production. I can personally vouch that all the scenarios portrayed in this song are 100% factual.

Outstanding!

Way hip!

Ha! That cow-bell still nearly knocks me out of my chair everytime I hear it! ;) I'm always the last to find out anything... I didn't realize until today that you were posting on AT. Welcome!

I have posted a new mix processed via a Lexicon MX200 to add "drum plate" reverb and a bit of compression.

Nice!
