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.

I hope you can see the above picture - I scored a 15 chord autoharp zither for $42 on ebay. 4 old guitar strings later (I save them... just in case :-) and a tuning against an organ patch she is working nicely again. Can't wait to show Emily…
In response to a suggestion of Dr. Ozan Yarman I tried a tuning he created for a different project. I realized the composition using Garritan Personal Orchestra Baroque organs, Garritan World sample set Oud and Santoor samples performed on an…

Reg has seriously got the blues and can't seem to leave the empty bar, there is just him and Elvis in there. The strange thing is that the tables and chairs are there, the bar and the stools but there is no booze behind the bar just empty glasses…
Reg has left re-hab but now he has to fill those sober hours with something, so he has taken to people watching, but like everything in his life he has become addicted to it, listening in on there private conversation as he follows them, watching…

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

Hey you're a natural at this harmonica stuff - this sounds great together!
Comments made by Norm
Excellent!
This is going to get even uglier.
Very nice session. You've come a long ways, Reg.
You know, that photo really says it all. Good grief! Nice work here, Chris!
You can't make the noise if you don't have the toys! Nice find... gotta love ebay for instruments!
Excellent!
Excellent.

Following Reg around today... he knows how to pick them. I made my decision: fave!
Fly fly fly! This is fly!
I REALLY love the R channel guitar riff.
Excellent.
Now this is a crushing burden. Very heavy. How will you carry it Reg? LET IT GO!
Igor is right - don't get too deep into those blues, Reg! I'm starting to worry about your sanity.
I'm glad your liver is feeling better. I just hope that you are being careful not to scare anyone, Reg.
It's a big story to tell in under 5 minutes... but I like what you have done and Reg's vox is great as usual.
Yummy!
