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.
When I first heard…
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…

And the season starts to change.
Outside the sky's steel grey.
Inside my heart is too.
And I don't know how to…

A bit of improv done yesterday with my newly refurbished fretless guitar. Finally got the midi pickup to track almost right! Part of the sounds were gotten by rubbing a teaspoon on the strings.
Didnt mean to have a political slant but had just got denied my large order soft drink in Manhattan.
All thats left are the small sodas with the "NY loves big cans" tee shirts
This is a collab song with MTC. I almost hated adding anything to it cuz the first track he sent me was kickass vintage Jim. It totally changed flavors in the collab process, but still one of my favs
This is the third, maybe forth time I recorded this tune.
I like this one best.

a fine disguise
they came from across the sea
always moving closer
my eyes could see
then they called in the calvary

I've been messing and listening to a lot of Tom Waites i suppose his influence has rubbed of a bit ...well a little anyway...........
I want the love (Lyrics)
Crawling in the gutter trying to stand with phone
To tell you that I love you…
Another with the £16 special.............
My baby, she don't want me (Lyrics)
My baby, she don't want me,
i don't know what to do
i need her,
i believed her
she was hollow and untrue
My baby, she don't want me,
i don't know what to do
i need…
Another with the £16 special.......We know he isn't really i mean he's here with me now in the cellar............
HE’S GONE (lYRICS)
IT WAS A CARELESS LOVE THAT TOOK HIM AWAY
OF COURSE THERE WAS NEVER GONNA BE THE RIGHT KINDA DAY
TO SAY GOODBYE…
Reg went out last night to a bonfire party....Man does he meet some strange women...........so he got his £16 special down from the wall and penned this little ditty in rememberence...........
I felt her Pain (Lyrics)

I did the guitar and bass tracks first, then procured my 10 year olds cello for the main bass line :) I also tried my luck playing cello with a bow on this track- which was a new experience.
The trumpet and violin bits are played…

I had the pleasure of hearing an alternative version of this song. One where the green fairy exploded. It was good. Norm agrees that a) both versions are awesome, and that b) bottle rockets are good. ~Eloise
Comments on Norm's stuff
Yeah, this would song great with some Verbed-out surf guitar. very cool man.
Norm, this is wonderful stuff!
Many thanks, Launched! It is always a blast working with ReefWalker.
Dude! Strong stuff. You got the timing and the rhythm! I also thought the tracks that appeared on reefwalker's songs worked really well - Awesome!
Nice one mate dig it. Thanks for your comment mate.
You must be surfing in California. You may find the temperature more appealing in Hawaii or Central America! ;) Thanks for listening!!
fun piece of music
I love your toys!
this is excellent
But it's so damn cold! Still, freedom of the waves! Loved this one.
Sweeeeeeeet!!!!
Ha! I agree - in fact I'm fairly certain that it is an unalienable right for all; but you've got to be very good about the sunscreen.
No-one should be denied the chance to surf naked! :)
What a great groove!
Pure magic!!
Nice, definitely nice! I love the way there is a melody in there.
Welcome to Alonetone, Mr.Percussion Man. Great to have you aboard.
Getting the message loud and clear all the way from those Virginia hills.
Delightful stuff. Great performance from the children and wonderful music.
This is wonderful! w;-)

Menacing!
I wish I had been there. With Kirk. First round's on me. Send a double up to the guitar player.
Very clever Reg. I agree.
...a match made in heaven.
Pssst. Hey buddy. Over here. I can hook you up with a 32oz Mountain Dew...
Totally pro.
Go Team!
HOLD THE PHONE!! This is unusually excellent. I really enjoyed this one, on all levels. And listen to your sister... up just a bit with the vocals.
One of your tightest yet!
Yes, this was Dan's best album.
Ok. Now, finally, it is clear who I must vote for.
Ha! fun video. Did you use any effects on that?
"This video is private". Now I REALLY want to see it...
That IS an awesome gong clip.
This smacks of Desiree. Get over it Reg!
@David: Haha! You mean this is not in regard to Michael Jackson??
Far out indeed. Nice work.
did it hurt so good?
What the hell??!!?? Where are the bottle rockets? (Enjoying Absinthe as I write this)
