Wow... This has got the Awesome Factor big time! I let my kid do some Synth for one of my tracks the other day... There is nothing in the world greater than Being able to share time like this with them! I think is is amazing that this is a poem that you heard as a Child as well, and are now recording with your own children.. Warms The Heart Bro! A Wonderful and Well Performed track! It's really Spooky as well! Bonus!! :) Well Done All!! Peace T(OsCKilO)

What a great gift to share with your kids. The drums are done superbly...as is all of it. They will have and cherish this forever....

Talk about original! This was fun to listen to. Thanks for sharing.

your tech. is great. I like the title too! lol. Although I wouldn't wanna surf naked in parts of florida now....that oil spill.

being so high up in those awesome blueridge mountains must be good for the musical soul. :) Thanks for sharing.

great playing! What kind of mics did you use to get such a crisp sound? And..by the way, wouldn't it suk if aliens came and used our skin for drums? lol

I'm a percussionist first and foremost so I love this. Awesome jungle jam. Those congas sound nice and full.

You're funny. I just hope now that his child has had a taste of the caribbean flavor, that he doesn't go to pot.

How did I miss this? Very cool and original - No idea how you managed to perfectly sync with the piano. Love it, though. (And yes, it was a while ago, but I still miss my dog. You never get over it do you? But I really see the humor in a sad dude pining away over his lost dog, too!)

I really enjoyed this. I always read alot to my kids, so I understand the special relationship between the favorite books and the kids and parent. And I love that you included them, still kept the artistry serious, and produced a good product.

When I was young, I remember dreaming about what I called "jungle drums"; I'm not sure why. I dreamed your song...long ago in the depths of some astral flight apparently. Thanks for recording it.

very nice!

My Dad played the drums, ha, I thought he did! This is tribal indeed, there's a little tinkle in there too, nice touch.

Thanks Norm for listening! looking forward to hearing Jarvis lay a guitar down on Surf Naked!

Jarvis, yes it does have a "Wipeout" sound to it - I was trying to get that sort of vintage surf music feel into a drum pattern. Now if I can only find a guitarist to do that quick decending "doodle-loodoo-loodle-loodle-loodle-loodle-loodle" surf guitar lick at the very beginning... what in the world do you call that cool sound anyway?

This has a Bluesy feel to it that is screaming out for a guitar to play over.

Nice sort of Spanish sound to this ,makes you want to weave and flick your hips.....owwww me backs gone !!!

This has deffo got a 'Wipeout' Sound to it which will be interesting to somehow avoid in a gtr track.Imay have a stab at it. Nice drumming.

tight, and sprinkled with some interesting perc's brotha !

You got my groove goin' :) Very cool! w;-)

You must have been hammered with snow! Nice work Dave!

Nothing like getting behind the skins when you are sentimental. Happens to me all the time. The skins don't mind tears. Nice skin work here (the pattern is "Tumbao").

Totally pro, Chris. Great, great work.

I just heard the Ramen #3 version of this and it totally blew me away! Furthermore, I sickenly realized that I have posted a piece by the same name, a long time after you posted this one. I apologize for this and have changed the name of my posting (but a similar story to yours... first recording in a new house!!) Strong work team. I'm a big fan!

Lovely.

This is a masterpiece!

Lovely!

Tragic!

Fabulous story.

Your vocals are too hot for covers.

Oh so funky.

To quote Dorthy Parker: "That poor SOB". Strong work Chris!

I had to read a bit about "modal", which I still don't understand. But I know this much: this rocks hard. Many thanks! Here's hoping for a blizzard!

It's always tough for the manager when a "walk-in" steals the show and the crowd clearly prefers him to the scheduled act! Well done! Very soulful bro!

I hate the fact that your percussionist is quite clever.

Love the Rhodes! Cool boat sounds too. What a horrible time in history.

Boom chickie dig-gity boom ba! Excellent collaboration!

Love the percussion pattern here.

**instantly stikes the bait, swallows deeply for the gut hook - can't help myself** Bethan: It is asking too much to expect either Reg to behave himself. Funkmasters, by definition, can't behave. Now this is just perfect. Funk is what you were born to do. Please provide much more like this.

I miss my Alister! :(
