excellent collab indeed, and a great tune! the original has a rather intimate feel, adding your percs turned it all into a get-together afternoon, under the sun, with good buddies and let the jammin' goes its own way..

Mellow morning mist fall
Melting into day
This summer said son, you are lazy
Don’t follow any example, break every rule
After awhile you’ll find it’s so easy to do
Just stay within the limits of your love
Soon the air will turn colder…
This is a tune I picked up from alonetone a while back. Johnny did a piano version of "I'd Love to Change the World", and Michael Thomas from Cave Street added the outstanding vocals.
When Michael told me he was doing the vox on it, I wanted…
Finally going to end this RPM with a slop fest.
Pretty disgusted with my efforts. I did have some fun though.
I feel like I just gave birth to a full set of Ludwigs.
High gloss black of course.
Sloane did me a favor & played an electric guitar part on this one. I had hoped to work with her more on this project, but she wound up leaving town to help take care for a recovering family member.

Reg once had a childhood friend that gave in to temptation and the depths of addiction, this track is about what he saw when the Black Velvet glove took control. The degradation of a poor soul who lost his grip on reality and fell to depths so…
Lyrics/Vocals - OldRottenHead (over at Soundcrafters.org). Music - Dave Berry. Recorded on Boss BR-1200, Epi Sheraton, Bass, Synth. Drums are played by me on my new Roland HD-1 (I have had it two weeks, timing is a little shaky, bloody hard this…
This song was born on the 18th of Feb. 2011. It was the last piece I wrote/recorded for the challenge. It was a very sad day for me, almost as if all my usual winter sadness was concentrated and crammed into one day. The process of writing and…
bit of a key change, and temperament,
just as small note: the opening and closing strings really buzz cool in headphones, something i though i might give a try too
This was going to be a re-make of Dancing on my own but reg was too busy to participate so i have used Norms percussion track and got Chris Vaisvil to bass it up and i have added a vocal creating something new. Reg has had a lot of trouble with…
This is a synopsis of Reg's favourite movie put to music. Sorry about the length but what can you do, when you have a story to tell, you can't cut it short can you? This is one to download for the car to listen to on that boring journey or when…
Reg has got a little soppy since he met his new girl, the widow Desirea. His pretty sure she's the one but the old fears keep rising. He knows he has to put the past behind him if any relationship is ever going to stand a chance of working…
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.
When…
So I dropped the guitar into DADGAD tuning for the first time, threw a capo on the third fret, rifled off something nice, and sent it to Movement to Contact for his contribution, got it back, did some mixing...
Here is the result.
YOU NEED…
Lots of stuff going on here. Homegrown Piano loop, 12 string and 6 string acoustic loops. Some fuzzed up guitars, bass, and a sprinkle of harmonica.
Oh yeah, and Zippo slide....
Comments on Norm's stuff
that drumhall effect is amazing. . . I thought the first mix was great so i am even more blown away by this! That is superb norm!
Holy smokes, bro - Lexiwhat?? I'm such a reverbtard so I always stay away from it, but you really did well here. And I love the new mix and the changes you made. Downloaded and the PiePod has been updated!
Lovely!!!
that lexicon added a 3rd dimension to the track! magical piece..
I posted a remix today which adds Lexicon "Drum Hall" reverb and a bit of compression.
grooooove on!! you rolls rock and congas coming in at 01'38" is right on..
I have posted a new mix processed via a Lexicon MX200 to add "drum plate" reverb and a bit of compression.

Great cover of a classic!
:) great stuff fellas.
EXCELLENT, WONDERFUL! LOVE THIS TRACK! w;-)
I first heard this song about 7 months ago, and I gotta say Norm, you really added value to it. Amazing!
NORM!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have no Idea How Happy I am !!!!! THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU,THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome, like vanilla ice cream awesome. More three way collabs!!!!!
excellent collab indeed, and a great tune! the original has a rather intimate feel, adding your percs turned it all into a get-together afternoon, under the sun, with good buddies and let the jammin' goes its own way..
Most sympathetic and gorgeous. What I like about it is you haven't tried to compete, just complete and the outcome is wonderful.
How on earth do you make your drums sing like that? Understated, melodic, compulsive. I think you are brilliant!
BRILLIANT. I enjoyed every second...except the one after it ended. ;)
Nice collab Norm! I'm about half way done with mine with a couple of your tracks, can't wait to share it!
Sweet heavens this is fantastic. Sheeeeit thats so good.
Comments made by Norm
Yes, ethereal is a very good word for this one. Nice work!
What a team! Good call on 2:12. Whoa, this is a great one.
This is loads of fun! More cowbell!
Excellent. Love your voice (as always) and guitar tremelo. Post the lyrics!
How horrible.
Excellent!
Well, did he make it?
Impressive guitar solo!
This is wonderful.
Excellent!
Brrrr! Throw another log on the fire!
Gotta love the 5/4! Very clever!
Drum and Bass - Reg! I dig it.
That is an awesome movie.
Yes, best not to move to fast with the widow Desirea until we know a bit more about her...
@ Richard: Keep dancing Richard - I'm right behind you and it's not going to be pretty.
Post the lyrics!
Great collaboration, gents.
Excellent!
Wrangle those mangos! Excellent!
