I went over to Reg's place the other day and he sort of scared me. He was out on his deck, pitching butts and spilling gin that he couldn't afford. He was a mess and had a crazed look in his eyes. I could tell he was ruminating again about…
In Argentina they say "in Argentina everything may change - except the tango", but I couldn't resist adding some percussion to this beautiful nuevo tango by Vincent Voois, composed in the style of Astor Pantaleon Piazzolla.
Check out Vincent…

Lyrics
Take the lift and your half way up....
Reach the top and your half way up...
You didn’t see your rise, and Lost your way.....
Looking down on the world your tears fall...
You Missed the Beauty of the climb.
And now you’re…
This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

Reg has just gotta get on gone, he wants to move out from his old lady's into reg's place where it's happening, what with Elvis in the cellar and his visiting friends jammin all night, Reg is almost living there anyway. So now he has decided to…
Jamming with a couple buddies. I screwed the lyrics up but it was fun to do. Who doesn't want to at least try an AC/DC tune?

Another routine Vaisvil piece. Oh, and by routine I mean:
Hang drums.
Ebow.
17 note octaves.
Fretless bass.
Outrageous prose that is difficult to logically follow.

RPM 2011 - my first track recorded and the opening track for the CD
A kind of Old Time gospel number, which, if you listen to those pre-war guitar playing preachers, are virtually indistinguishable from blues. Except for the lyrics…
I heard this by Norm and it got me thinking about an idea of an old friend who turns up in need, its a surprise , you haven't even thought of him in the last six months and here he is what do you do?............
Well it had to happen sometime, he couldn't go on living the way he was, even with those full throttle hands there was no excuse, he was guilty....... guilty as charged........RPM2011

Comments made by Norm
Excellent.
Beautiful Kirk!
Go Reg Go! Delores was no good for you anyway... Reg won't mind putting you up for awhile and you two can work on a few tunes in the meantime.
Way fun!
What a story!
I agree with the Captain: this is very good. Please, more details on how you produced this!
Yes, this is excellent! Great voice!

Excellent!
What a lovely tribute!
I'm afraid that I must fave anything that Bethan loves so much. And I quite agree with her. Outstanding work, ladies.
Now this really works! Well done!
Kidneys? Most excellent!
She was no good for you anyway, Reg. And a good bender may be necessary to get over it... but don't crawl into that bottle. Stick to the tea!
Someday may not be soon enough. I want a pre-war guitar playing preacher for my church. Well done!
A blast from the past. Still sounds great, Chris.
Don't do it Reg!
Je dirais - l'eau bleue, mais alors je ne suis pas français. En tout cas, je l'aime ! Le merveilleux, la caractéristique Doug Sparling solide.
How in the world did I miss this?? We may never know your friends song...
We're going to miss you Reg!
