Improvisation on congas and very fragile, clay Moroccan bongos (which my brother found for me from an African display at some zoo!). These bongos are basically clay pots with permanent, very thin goat skins stretched over the top - they can not…

Good point, Gumbo! That is the nature of "cross-over" patterns: they involve 2 rhythms with *different meters* which are played at the same *tempo*. So, regardless of listening to this pattern through the lens of 4/4 (8 beats/bar) or 3/16 (12 beats/bar), both patterns are played at the same tempo, i.e. 180bpm in this case. These patterns have measures that start at the same point, but do not end at the same point until cycling through 24 beats each - at which point they "cross-over"; a point that is illustrated by the clave in this example.

lovely - my only connection to this kind of polyrhythm is thru the Grateful Dead whose two drummers used to explore and experiment thusly.
I like that you can say it has 4 beats AND 6 beats to the measure and then say that it has 180 bpm ;-)

Lyrics
Take the lift and your half way up....
Reach the top and your half way up...
You didn’t see your rise, and Lost your way.....
Looking down on the world your tears fall...
You Missed the Beauty of the climb.
And now you’re…
This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

Reg has just gotta get on gone, he wants to move out from his old lady's into reg's place where it's happening, what with Elvis in the cellar and his visiting friends jammin all night, Reg is almost living there anyway. So now he has decided to…
Jamming with a couple buddies. I screwed the lyrics up but it was fun to do. Who doesn't want to at least try an AC/DC tune?

RPM 2011 - my first track recorded and the opening track for the CD
A kind of Old Time gospel number, which, if you listen to those pre-war guitar playing preachers, are virtually indistinguishable from blues. Except for the lyrics…
I heard this by Norm and it got me thinking about an idea of an old friend who turns up in need, its a surprise , you haven't even thought of him in the last six months and here he is what do you do?............
Well it had to happen sometime, he couldn't go on living the way he was, even with those full throttle hands there was no excuse, he was guilty....... guilty as charged........RPM2011
Comments on Norm's stuff
Okay, so this is awesome fellas - you're like some explosive cocktail of cool. Kicking major butt, three times!
Each of you kick ass. Together you three are magical! Excellent work fellas. JR
Norm, you are the freakin' coolest! This tune meant a lot to me and now it's on a pedestal. T is gonna love this when he hears it! Thanks, bro - Perfectly done.
wow, what a cool collab. the 3 musicians and instrument sounds mix well. I would crash into this late night show any day of the week
excellent!! I really like this collab! The voice perhaps could be a touch louder other than that this is excellent!
Damn that's a tough count. Super job man. Super.
This is fantastic Norm. Keep bringing me the lessons. I love it. Gotta go try this one now!!!!
I like all your tracks, so excellent sounding.
This is fantastic, seriously.
complex pattern and really good timing. Great percussion track S to F
Hey..call me at st. john Lutheran. we need to talk! I love this sound!
that's sooooo voodoo! technique's great yes, but the vibe is simply excellent! and your timing is just getting better and better O_o

LOVE IT!
Excellent!!
Crazy great.
Oh my, sublime, El Norm! Would you be terribly offended if I had a play around with this?
thanks for explaining the count btw - that helps a lot

I don't know how you keep time like this, but it's incredible!
Comments made by Norm
Excellent.
Beautiful Kirk!
Go Reg Go! Delores was no good for you anyway... Reg won't mind putting you up for awhile and you two can work on a few tunes in the meantime.
Way fun!
What a story!
I agree with the Captain: this is very good. Please, more details on how you produced this!
Yes, this is excellent! Great voice!

Excellent!
What a lovely tribute!
I'm afraid that I must fave anything that Bethan loves so much. And I quite agree with her. Outstanding work, ladies.
Now this really works! Well done!
Kidneys? Most excellent!
She was no good for you anyway, Reg. And a good bender may be necessary to get over it... but don't crawl into that bottle. Stick to the tea!
Someday may not be soon enough. I want a pre-war guitar playing preacher for my church. Well done!
A blast from the past. Still sounds great, Chris.
Don't do it Reg!
Je dirais - l'eau bleue, mais alors je ne suis pas français. En tout cas, je l'aime ! Le merveilleux, la caractéristique Doug Sparling solide.
How in the world did I miss this?? We may never know your friends song...
We're going to miss you Reg!
