Very sweet :) I wonder if you were thinking...."if all these damn guitarists are just going to make crossover patterns from my beats, i'll just make a crossover pattern mayself. ;) haha FAV'D

Out on the lawn there arose such a clatter!
Sometimes, as they say, Christmas do come early. I found Johnny Stone's "Christmas Rock In Oz" under the tree and couldn't wait until Yuletide to unwrap it. What a rockin' gift! I know a bit about…
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…
A single track of improvised chromatically tuned congas in 7/8, accented with clave, guiro, cajon and quinto.
(For those who may be interested in collaborating on this, the triplet phrasing of this groove may be most easily counted like this…

This is really a true story.
No, really...
And our holiday gift to you & your friends. (Feel free to download it and share it with anyone who you think might enjoy it.)
Oh... by the way... acl is finally waking from a very deep slumber…
Norm played the percussion first, which is a Bembe pattern; I couldnt help playing a melody and creating lyrics for this perc track. Thanks for the listen, Enjoy!
4 stereo guitar tracks played out one at a time.
Another late night - early morning recording.
I like to keep a positive attitude about the things that haunt me, but sometimes dreams change course unexpectedly, and the worms creep in.
Comments on Norm's stuff
very nice,, if i could not play the piano (when i grow up) i would like to be a percussionist,, you make it sound soooo good
You make this sound easy. You ole pro you.
@Jarvis: Stick to your ears - musically speaking, nothing else matters. Thanks!

I found myself rocking back and forth a little while listening. This is very addictive!
Love It!!!
I like the percussion instrument choices and the way additional instruments are progressively added in waves, clean track
:)
@MTC: Ha! Cross-overs are fun no matter who makes them. But it's cool you get the concept. Thanks.
way to get those rolls in there as well. killer.

Another great piece Norm....just love your sense of rhythm
So what happened to Johnny? This is the only thing that remains. Did I miss something?
Still beautiful........
Damn- How did I miss this? Brilliant!
I'm trying to find the words to say why I liked this. The best I can come up with: "it's real".
4/4 bpm...awesome!
Sweet groove
You got the beat man.
the individual samples for propane are stretched (and filtered) but not the composition.

Excellent idea to incorporate river dancers! Percussion at it's finest - the dance becoming the song.
There is I... (I just love that part) ;)
This is just perfect.
Brilliant!
I agree with Savage.
What a lovely birthday gift!
Nice work, RW! Let's do it again soon...
The sustained release pattern effect on the second half is amazing! Nice work. Damned alarm clock...
