Aw, we tried to make this a bit more pro, but sometimes the really fun moments in life are fleeting. So here it is warts and all. But don't mind that - just get out onto the dance floor with Reg! It's ok: he's up to date on his shots.

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…

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…

"Afoxe" is a rhythm played by carnival groups from Bahia in Northeastern Brazil. It is named after an instrument that is traditionally used to play this pattern: an afoxe is a beaded gourd; aka "shekere". In this rendition, I replaced the shaker…

CROSS-OVER POLYRHYTHMS
This is actually a type of enharmonic polymeter, where 2 rhythms with **different meters** (i.e., a different numbers of beats/measure) are played at the **same tempo**: the measures do not line up each time. These rhythms…

Reg has re-leaved his inner thespian tonight in another reading........... this time........... The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge...Done in one take mistakes and all ......he hadn't come across this one since his school…
jqscutt posted the acoustic guitar track looking for ideas, not sure if it turned into the genre he was looking for :)
The auuuggga horn sound was another classic unplanned phone interruption during the vocal recording but it seems to fit in…
Oh well, nothing like going to a middle school music function to break writers block, all those posters and flare about achievement...
Special thanks to my sons middle school band, The Preston Pumas playing at the end !
The energy levels were at an all time high this weekend when Bon and jimi turned up down the Cellar for a session. Here's a little something from the session........... Reg'n'Roll...other Reg really blisters the guitar on this one
OH WHAT A…
I heard M.T.C's Session 1 today and thought wow!!! so asked if it was ok if i could jump on for the ride..Jim said Ok! .......so here goes.........a song about loves dream being broken.........thanks again Jim...................based around these…
Reg, while I appreciate that you are obtaining musical inspiration reading bed-time stories to your children, do *not* use this interpretation of Edward Lear's poem to tuck them in - and this song is way to rockin' to put anyone to sleep.
Okay...it's still a sloppy mess...but that's what you get when you have earthquakes, a new-born baby, a nuclear disaster, broken bones in your hand and a whole-lotta "uuuuuuuuuuurgh!" to get out of your system. Somedays, you just gotta play in…
I can only imagine the relief/disbelief one has when they get out of one of those emergency shaft elevators. This piece is great for that... ascending.

An animated score is below. Ironicly this is scored for a quintet - piano, guitar, bass, sax, and drums. Probably one of the more famous 5/4 time songs.
11. Mermaid
My Casio-tune (for the Casio Challenge) Recorded through a microphone so you can hear me tapping away at the crappy little keys of the SA-3. Since it started to sound very sinister and reminded me also of the sea I wanted to add lyrics…
key of C - no capo
We listen for years for words to explain ourselves. "I'm good but not THAT good," was such a moment for me. Good enough to stay in the game but never good enough to win.
Last night I kissed somebody
I kissed somebody…
Too Many Years
It's been too many years since I've seen you
But sometimes that face appears before me
I still don't understand what went on
I refuse to believe that you could possibly really hate me
And of the people that I have known
You remain…
apologies to the fab four
scored for orchestral percussion, harp, harpsichord, dbl bass, string ensemble, men's choir and flute.
Interesting aside...
This is the only Beatles song covered by The Residents - because it is the only Beatles song…
This time of year I start to think of stealing pumpkins again... I think I'll have this one playing on my piepod, underneath the black knit dock hat and face paint.
@ Shirt: Thanks! Those sounds are from a matched set of "vibratones". The first sound is from an "ocean drum" (with reverb) and the final drone is from a "spring drum". The click sounds in the groove are a Japanese "Kokiriko" and a steel "Merengue guiro".
My cyber friend Tony Jones , added some keys , percussion and lead , transforming my song into something i couldn't have dreamed of
To the Welsh Wizard , many thanks

Love the cello. Love the harmonies. Love the backing guitar work. Hate the phone. Your phone is the devil.
You are definately not living in middle C. Let me know when you hear that knocking at the door, so we can both charge through it...
Now this rocks!

Yeah... that's a lot to go through in one year. I hope all is well with you and yours. the keys are key in this.

Excellent!
A classis indeed.
I like the tapping... great percussive feel.
Excellent. Very clever.
Optimist!
Very nice!
Nice! Drumming sounds great and the guitar work is excellent.
I didn't realize that this is the only song all 4 created together... one of their best IMHO. Wild video!
