At a recent charity event held in my small town's train museum, I was admiring a massive brass train bell when the curator walked up to me. I commented that a bell would really rather be heard then seen, and he agreed. I offered to digitally record…
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…
I miss you too, bud! Just listened to the Cabin Jam you did with Jim - Freakin' Sweeeeeeet!!!
Wow, you're a harp man! This collab is dynomiiiiiite!!! Chris did a killer with the guitar work and you took it to the next level big time.

Regarding your reluctance to being in a pantry with Reg's women ....
Ha ha Norm, you wouldn't? Where's your sense of adventure?
While listening to your fascinating sounds I'm wondering what dish I could make of the ingredients shown.

Reg's friend, Austin has a crush on this girl Louise who is way out of his reach. He is trying to pluck up the courage to tell her how he feels about her. He writes poetry about her. He goes to the bar where she works so he can see her communicate…
Reg has been sitting in the cellar reading some old notebooks and he has decided it's time to air some of his secret stash of poetry. He knows the word poetry can turn an audience of quicker than a desperate man turns a women off but he is prepared…
Well Elvis couldn't just sit still watching Fredrico and the others having such a good time Jamming, he got up and joined in........i mean the party has only just started...................
She was my Princess, Queen of my highway
She was…
Ok, I can already tell that this is going to have a tragic ending...
Whatever you do, DO NOT allow any females into that basement at this point. Desirea especially!
Reg was just tootling about with the piano and he got possessed by someone and just couldn't stop. He's thinking it must have been the Devil himself because he just couldn't stop......or maybe it was the Moonshine........

My version of this classic guitar instrumental. It was cool to learn that radio stations banned this back in the day since they thought it was too raunchy and violent, even though it didn't have any lyrics.
Louis was back in the cellar last night and he was telling Reg how Blue he was and they got to jamming...............This morning i arrived at the cellar to find Bon was passed out in the corner....Dave was right with his guess....He could never…
@ Dave:
Why, Louie Armstrong, of course!
@ Reg:
I don't know brother - your basement is beginning to sound like the bar in Kubrick's "The Shining". I'm beginning to worry about you.
Well, I feel almost human today. Been a rough few days with the flu or something. I'm running on a baked potato - seems I can't each much else yet. It was ironic that I became sick just when I went to pick up a Boss Loop Station I found for half…
Sassy Nation version!
Sister Savage and Mr Sandbags collaborated on the original of this wonderful heartbreaker of a song. I've been playing it on the guitar the last few days and it always seemed to come out with a grittier tone, so i asked…
Who should come down the cellar to see Elvis but Bon Scott. Reg got on with him like a house on fire, i mean they have a lot in common. Reg told him all about his new love. S o they decided to jam and this is what they came up with…
This is wild! Strangely attractive, inspite of the voltage noises you push through my head. A couple of great guitar licks, around 2:30 and love the rhythm guitar riff around 5:45.
Your percussion work is top notch.
Reg was reading the paper today about the Spandex vigilante. Now Reg has got himself sorted becoming a superhero appeals to him. Ummmm about the suit i think it should be Blue to match my eyes with a large TTR motif of some sort on the chest in…
Reg has just had a moment he doesn't mean it, he was in the bar entertaining the leeches his fellow companions on his shadow of a life and he became depressed at his situation and struck out but he doesn't mean he would be lost without his companions…
Reg! You need to work on your intra-personal skills with the establishment's patrons if you want that piano tip jar to get filled up.
Damn that Disirea! She's gotten into your head and now it's messing you up.
Had the blues in Alabama
Had the blues in Texas too
Had the blues all over
Now I 'm givin' em to you
And if you don't want em
You know what you can do
You wont find me I'm goin' ta run and hide away from you
Because I see trouble
Trouble…

I miss you too, bud! Just listened to the Cabin Jam you did with Jim - Freakin' Sweeeeeeet!!! Wow, you're a harp man! This collab is dynomiiiiiite!!! Chris did a killer with the guitar work and you took it to the next level big time.
wow, what a groove. who knew you could blow a mean harp. Beauty man.
Sharp sound! Really enjoyed this!

So intriguing! That's really cool!
That's a surprise! Cool harp and guitar work. made it all lovely and bluesy.
Oh yeah!!! That was great! You may need to resuscitate Dave Berry though!
Wicked!
Wow! :-)))))
Not sure how I missed this! Pretty nice collab gents.
loving the harp. this was a good choice!
Nice one dig it.
That's awesomely devilish of you, it might even be freakin'. Brilliant move!
Now I want jam and biscuits. Tasty beats!
Thanks Norm! Yeah I have been on a musical sabbatical and lots of ocean time, you nailed it!
Wonderful stuff........harmonistic
wow! this harp work sounds great!!! Unfortunately the guitar pictured isn't the one in the recording (we'll get to that tomorrow)
Hey you're a natural at this harmonica stuff - this sounds great together!
Comments made by Norm
Reg, show Austin a few of your dance moves and help him write a love song to her. That will do the trick.
Well done!

Chillin' at the casa...
Technically speaking, it would no longer be Hell with you at the piano, Reg.
7/8 = awesome pick for this song.
Excellent! Percussion is top notch!
Excellent cover. Great history too - I didn't know that.
@ Dave: Why, Louie Armstrong, of course! @ Reg: I don't know brother - your basement is beginning to sound like the bar in Kubrick's "The Shining". I'm beginning to worry about you.
Nuthin' unsteady about those hands. Great work! And what WAS that stuck to the eave?
There are lots of reasons to love this. I'd list them, but it's already obvious to all, and I'm too busy listening to this gem...
Great song.
You are hanging out with some fairly hard-core partiers Reg. Be careful!
Very clever!
Very clever.
Your production velocity is outrageous!
