(For those who may be interested in collaborating on this, the triplet phrasing of this groove may be most easily counted like this…
A 7/8 improvisation on a set of 3 Bata drums, accented with afucha, tube shekere and cowbell.
The number 7 is a symbol for perfection or completeness: 7 colors in a rainbow, 7 musical notes in a scale, 7 days = a week, etc.

This is really nice work - laid back and exotic. Very nice balance between the music and the percussion - tastefully done. Since I'm listening before the description went up I'm very curious who you collaborated with - they did a nice job on the music.
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…

Lyrics:
Have you heard this story of the Hot Rod Race…

In fact... It is about a person that put me in a very difficult situation....
One that effected my life for a while... Just for doing the right thing...
I think…
Many nebulae form from the gravitational collapse of gas in the interstellar medium. As the material collapses under its own weight, massive stars may form in the center, and their ultraviolet radiation ionises the surrounding gas, making it visible…

Excellent slide guitar work, great vocals.
Aaye likes this one all the way down to the bottom of my arrrgyle socks!
Well done! Tight and pro - but I don't get the lyrics... what's wrong with me???
Awesome bass and really cool stereophonic uke hook. Your onion brought some tears to my eyes... and definately kept mine moving!
Ouch! My neck is a bit sore from aggressively nodding my head to the beat!Good one!
Man, that IS a cool bass riff. Great piece!
Ha! Forget The 61 - this is awesome. It's great to see you play too. More tastey Vaisvil guitar goodness!
...if I had any pipes. But, man, unless you want to peel paint, I'm going to need to stick to the occassional narration. ;) Thanks for listening!
More Doors! *Excellent*
Menacing! Great guitar work here!
I agree! Smooookin'!
Strong work!
Great work!
