I asked CaptGene for something funky, trusting that a fishing guide from Babsom Park would know exactly what I was talking about. He did. The Captain knows funk.
I used to have a link to his original version here, but that is no longer available…
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…
Love it ....way too short .....but I suppose .....thats Original pieces for you....you just get into them and there gone and your left wondering so you play it again ......it's double player for sure but I still ....stand by ....love it and way too short.....

There are 3 styles of the Rumba Guáguánco pattern: this one originates from the Cuban province of Matanzas (to the east of Havana).
“Rumba” is a Spanish term for a gathering of musicians, singers & dancers (what West Africans refer to…

well, I've given you guys a couple years to answer this.What is the time signature on this piece? Can you snap your fingers to it?
Didn't think so.
Chris, this is a master piece. I just love it still.

@Shirt: *Pilón* is not only the name of this pattern, but also the name of a town on the southern coast of Cuba. Perhaps both Pilón coffee and the pattern are connected to that town in some way.

Doug: You have such a great trademark sound. I've never heard anything quite like it... it's always a snap to recognize your pieces as I listen to random AT radio. Many thanks for you beautiful postings!
Wellll it's not really a mystery, it's a little Beatles remixing!! I've basically just mashed together Octopus's Garden and All My Lovin'.
Hope you like it!
toooons of fun makin it :)
Had to do this one on the fly before an open mic night....
Sorry about the quality...
Came up with the song this morning ......
One take... GTR+MIC on one tracks (doubled up), Played live....
Not much time to record music or…
Lyrics
The Good Lifeless has Become Boundless
such that it is written,
went where and windly
with pentacles of pie
like know our way
down the screem
when we find what it
is that can been and be we of their
2 tracks of hobnox…
@Mac McIntyre: Ha! I just did the same thing (well, without breaking a string) - I've been digging this playlist from behind my congas. Great stuff here.
This is a piece Norm and I collaborated on last year. We hope you will enjoy it.
two improvised 12 string guitar lines
bass line ( I took a few takes)
improvised piano
Norm's percussion in Tumbao rhythm
did a remix of latest B-52s (ex B-52's) song "Funplex". i admit i didn't really take the time to polish this, so it might have some flaws here and there, but it was fun to do and after all, is this not what matters most? :)
and you can…
This is a little piece dedicated to the lost world island of Socotra that grabs a lot of instrumentation from across Asia with little discrimination - the melodic instruments use Afshari with the exception of the Jaw harps which use 9-tET Sorog.
What ever you were whompin’ up must have looked/smelled great! But then again, hunger is the best sauce. And the main riff at the end just leaves all of us hungry for more. Is it ready yet?
This is a piece that uses MOTU Ethno 2. All but percussion and voice were performed my Fender Mustang and midi recorded via Roland GR-20. The piece uses the Almak tuning included in Ethno 2. [Amlak recurrent sequence (x^2 = x + 1/3), as a matrix…
Cool tuning. I've never heard anything like it. Nice work Debbie! The percussion is just perfect for this. The left channel "swampy" guitar towards the end rules!
Alright!! This is some kickin' tune right here. I wanted to mess with this one when Jarvis first uploaded it. Then Brian Bazeley added this great bass line to it. At that point, I had no choice but to add some more veggies to this stew…
a simple seventies type performance core piece vocal, guitars, bass, and lots of lovely drums!
and a few effects just for the thrill

Love the flange and the triangle (Or whatever steel you used) Goodness all over!!

Well done!
Well done! I like the staccato percussion work.
Very nice!
Smoooth and loungey! Excellent percussion work (using just the first half of Son clave @ half time = nice effect)
Well done. Great voice! The story itself is well told - almost tough to listen to. I hope the house warms back up!
Excellent!
@Mac McIntyre: Ha! I just did the same thing (well, without breaking a string) - I've been digging this playlist from behind my congas. Great stuff here.
Still fresh!
The B52's have had some classics, but I believe I like your remix better than their release.
Excellent! The percussion is just perfect.
The bees knees!

Hell yes!
Totally pro, rockin' work! Many thanks!
Yep. Just beautiful. Nice work!
A classic. Post the lyrics! Perhaps you can convince Din to post a few things on AT... his percussion & mix mastering really are world class.
I still think that the heart beating through your guitar is a most excellent effect!
