@Richard: Guilty as charged. But what happens on AloneTone stays on AloneTone. We're glad you are here!
@Sis: All of my beats are grabbable. That's what they're here for... I'm happy to steal a pumpkin for you any time. My patterns are alot like pumpkins: you don't have to ask - just grab one and run.
I thought you guys may be ready for a straight forward 4/4 pattern to play with instead another of my rhythmically esoteric patterns.

A lesser woman would conspire to kidnap you and make you play for her. Love the natural sounding beats you create and your sense of rhythm is nothing short of spectacular.
(PLEASE NOTE: If Norm should go missing with his drums and, say, any pots he may have to hand, I am not guilty.)

It’s name is sadly the same as me, without me
It cannot follow through doorways, the same way
Just saw the rainbow fall over
It’s game remembers…
from the album "the Hardest Blow" featuring vocals from Dana Detrick-Clark
I can't see your sorrow, innocent and blind
Better luck tomorrow, leave this all behind
I think I'm feeling something, but I'm not sure what it is
Maybe you could…
I asked CaptGene for something funky, trusting that a fishing guide from Babsom Park would know exactly what I was talking about. He did. The Captain knows funk.
I used to have a link to his original version here, but that is no longer available…
This is for today's Improvfriday. Being all a first pass improvisation against a drum beat - there are mistakes. I did go back and spiced up the drums just a bit. everything but the drums is my Roland GR-20
this is from last week's improvfriday and was performed on an AXiS 49 driving Kontakt's sax ensemble and jazz drum kit. The deep reverberation is on purpose.
This is an improvisation on a theme I play all the time when I sit at the keys. Sort of a warm up I've been playing for a very long time. It is very simple and I may have used it here already. My apologies.
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…
@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!

My heart will miss a beat
Each time
I see your pain
I know this is the end
But I
Will fight this tide
The battle is complete
Both sides
Have won this time
I will remember you
So proud…

Clever. Great cover.

Excellent.
Simply awesome.

Excellent! Now I don't need to run out and buy one of those Halloween CDs to play for my trick-or-treaters.
Beautiful. And appropriately titled: "Breath of Air" for a breath of fresh air...
