Chris sent this track to me earlier today with the request that I add some percussion to it.
I had something different in mind.
After the first take I was afraid to return it to him, fearing that he would convert it to 23 edo or something…

As I had nothing better to do last night, I had this great idea that I would construct a rhythm for the 24 hour challenge. This would be different: a 24 minute drum solo (I mean, who wouldn't love that?). I even had a perfect bass riff: the "Mother…
Long drum solos aren't for everyone - I get it. Just do what many at Grateful Dead concerts did and look at it as an opportunity to go get another beer. On the other hand, if you are the sort of person who cheers at the fireworks show, I hope…

Drum-n-bass composition I did back in 2004 via digital-razor-blade technique with an additional fat synth line. That's it. Hear something you want to add? Go for it!

She doesn’t need me
she doesn’t want me
She has gone
She’s closed the door on my life although i’ve done no wrong
i Can’t tell what she wants

I was listening to Andy Casson's song Old ladies over on Songcrafters and it got Reg thinking........... could this be the last song i ever hear................so Reg went down the cellar to write a one chord song using only the notes that make…
Reg has been thinking he's fed up with all this celebrity crap.......the emperor is naked can't you see..........

I’ve said this twice
I don’t give a damn about the celebrities life

Elvis got philosophising in the cellar again last night.........................so Louie and Reg got Bluesy with him and this is what turned out of the session.........
DREAMER(Lyrics)
Well I asked the mirror if my dreams would come true…
Sometimes it seems ... No: it always seems that we are all in some kind of closed squirrel circle, and we all run, run... away? Both I and thou. Why? The meaning of life whether it?
No, I'm not crying or whatever boring. I just wondering…
Charlie, I too have a fascination with "The Theme Song From Peter Gunn"... one of my favorite from Mancini. The francesca vocal fx is slightly reminiscent of the skat singing of Edie Hart, so I am sure this would fit right in at *Mother's*.
A steel string guitar improvisation I did last night before bed called “A Nagging Thought“. The piece prominently features a V+ to i (augmented dominant to minor tonic) movement. I usually don’t care for the sound of an augmented tried but in…

Dig the panning Norm. Nice mix. A-1 beats as usual. I'm so second.

Love the slidy? bass riff.
Oh thanks Norm! I understood some of that! Ha, ha!

marvellous ........
cheers Norm
This one could be a bit of a challenge. Thanks for your comments on Rafts.
like this a lot!
Great sound, vibe and attitude. And great recording. Love the reverb on the harmonica with the sharpness on the guitar.
Fantastic blues, cool.
damn how did i miss faving this one? SUPER FLY MAN!!! Grooving to this like a bobble-head on the dash of an old towncar. ;)
Nice one Norm. I am still catching up on your earlier work. This is great mate. And thanks for listening mate cheers.
I see you've taken up body levitation as evidenced by your avatar picture. :-)
Super cool! Love these sounds.
AWARD: Best Collaboration (Seems only fair, haha!)
Congrats!!! You have just won an M.T.C Music award!!! AWARD: Best Drum Solo
Comments made by Norm
Excellent percussion work!
Really rocks!
I dig it!
Stand strong Reg.
In some cases, we can only hope it is the last time.
Ah! Reg, you are right. I thought she looked familiar. I wonder what she is looking at - no doubt somebody has dropped their wallet on the sofa.
They say a good wine has nice legs...
Debt is not what "eats the soul", Reg.
Tough to beat a monk and monkey combination. Nice work!!
Let's all kill our televisions! Good one Reg.
Get a new mirror, Reg. Great vox as always!
Speechless.
This is another gem from you! This really moves! Great vocal work.
Awesome!
Time to start stealin' again! Nice build up and dreamy guitar.
Excellent question...
This would be good to play while the credits are rolling at the end of the Reg movie...

Best bass groove of all time. I can't help but think of the Blues Brothers and the old arcade game "Spy Hunter" when I hear this.
Auuugh! Once seen, never to be forgotten... regrettably. Fortunately, once heard, not forgotten either. Nice work!
