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…
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…

Damn fine work Norm. Damn fine. Love the changes, the whole piece is incredible. Also love the comment reference to mty. python. ;) The speed at the begining is killer. Listened to, saved, donwloaded, and fav'd....i'll be jammin on this on for a while!

@Sis: LOL!
Sir Bedevere: There are ways of telling whether she is a witch.
---Are there? Oh well, tell us.
Sir Bedevere: Tell me. What do you do with witches?
--Burn them.
Sir Bedevere: And what do you burn, apart from witches?
--More witches.
--Wood.
Sir Bedevere: Good. Now, why do witches burn?
--...because they're made of... wood?
Sir Bedevere: Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of wood?
--Build a bridge out of her.
Sir Bedevere: But can you not also build bridges out of stone?
--Oh yeah.
Sir Bedevere: Does wood sink in water?
--No, no, it floats!... It floats! Throw her into the pond!
Sir Bedevere: No, no. What else floats in water?
--Bread.
--Apples.
--Very small rocks.
--Cider.
--Gravy.
--Cherries.
--Mud.
--Churches.
--Lead! Lead!
--A Duck.
Sir Bedevere: ...Exactly. So, logically...
--If she weighed the same as a duck... she's made of wood.
Sir Bedevere: And therefore...
...A witch!

This is a cover of Richard Wright's original "night of a thousand furry toys" that i made a couple of years ago. all work, voices, instruments and recording by myself :0)
original lyrics and music: Richard Wright
Great cover - very professional - frankly, as enjoyable as the original.
@Guest: sounds Floyd like for a very good reason, as this is a Richard Wright song.
Another song from the archive... Written about a friend who somehow seemed to come out of her general sad manner... Thoughts go back to a lunar eclipse when the girl I was standing next to to watch it (way back in college) disappeared from sight…
Ha! Epic Vaisvil ax work! I was too ignorant to realize that my headset metronome was getting picked up by the mic at the very end, at which time I was following Vaisvil's excellent suggestion of attempting some microphone/gong manipulation in which the mic was hand held, rotating it about an inch above the face of a simmering 32" gong. Wild stuff!
Something I did last year - A song about the crazy college days (Or Uni where applicable :) )

A "B" side from the "Stray Onto The Path" CD that I never released, in fact, I'd forgotten I'd even recorded it until today when I stumbled across the track. It's one I didn…
Guitars, mandolin, penny whistle: Doug Sparling
Composer: Doug Sparling
Recorded: 2006
From an out of print, self-released CD I put out in 2006 (titled "The Old Stone Bridge" - not the same one as the Old Stone Bridge tracks I've released…
Caveat emptor: I did absolutely none of the drumming in this piece.
WORLD PREMIER! FIRST RECORDING OF THIS PATTERN - EVER!
My friend Kokou "Alex" Yemey called me a few days ago with some urgency in his voice: "I must record this before…
The last track that I'm going to upload for a while. I will be re-recording a few songs to release a LP under my own name. Hopefully it'll be good :)
This one is another exploration using loops and delays. I hope you like it!

On this beach made of sand and shells
and broken hearts
as with so many things in this life
it ends where it starts
And like the waves that will roll over me
you take away everything that I see
So I walk to the place where the sand

It seems a lot of you record with open mics and can relate. I record 1 track at a time with usually 4 or 5 tracks. So, Im only asking for about 15 minutes of Silence...IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK??? Anyway, my house is so loud, I get a lot of bloopers…
For those who keep track of such things - RW songs featuring negative telephone experiences:
Phonus Interuptus (Open Mic Blues)
Only One Button Left to Push
Phone Slave
Fun K
It sounds to me like you need to talk this out - I'll give you a call. (Perhaps we all should)

This is the first cover song I've ever really recorded in my 15 years of playing and recording.
The guitar and voice are each full continuous takes, I didn't want to do comping (copy and pasting), though the vocal harmony parts were done in…
First draft.
Dedicated to my mother on her birthday.
In the outro: Trombone, Horns, Clarinets, Mouthpiece buzz by Andy Hentz (arrsuarez) and organic drum related sounds by Glu.

Yes, I agree with the others. Very nice!

Wild stuff!
Yep. Had my first snake-bite black yesterday. All because of this song.
Exotic. Very nice.
Is it even possible to beat the SM57 as the world's best all-around mic? Nice tune. All of your stuff is lovely.
@RW: Ha! Thanks, but that's a bold faced lie - I've never missed a pheasant.
Good luck with the LP! I'm certain it will be fantastic... please keep us updated!
Wow! This is a good one! All you cider drinkers from across the pond... I think you have the right idea! I'm off to the shop for a Hornsby's now.
Great vox/lyrics, as usual.
Still rockin' and tremendous fun!
Ha! Do you play in the house band at your pub in Cornwall? That's starting to sound like the world's best job to me...

Strong work.
Priceless! I *so* relate to this. Great voice work by both you and Daisy...
Well done!
Totally pro. Nice cover.
Those hang drums are tough to get your hands on. Sounds great, hangman!
Props not only for the production, playing and singing, but for sending one out to your mom - class act.
Where, exactly, is that fast-forward button located? Man, I could use that on some of the conversations I suffer through everyday...
