Ok, so I'm just a percussionist, and if your only tool is a hammer, the entire world looks like a nail. I get it. And I also get that our songs are our children, so we should be very careful about whom we let them play with.
When I first heard…
It was a curious and wondrous thing.
One night I was in my studio adding some percussion to the "Quiet Rituals" track by Barry van Oudtshoorn, when my 4 young children (with whom I was long over-due to be tucking into bed and reading a bed…

A cool wind brings the fall
And the season starts to change.
Outside the sky's steel grey.
Inside my heart is too.
And I don't know how to…

Here's the Classic from Boston from that time when my locks were flowing and i was 3stone lighter....with speed Demon Gene doing the music and yours truly trying his best on the vocals...hope you enjoy as much as we did doing it.....
This song written by Mark Imsdahl..I found it over at Greg Connor's ...I liked it so much that I asked Greg and Mark if I could do an electric version of it and they agreed...i want to have Mark blow some harp on it when he gets back from vacation…
I heard Wildgeas track Erase the Breeze on alonetone earlier and this came to me straight away so i had to get both sides of Reg on this one.. and kick it out while i had a little time ….hope you enjoy…Thanks Paul
I need to feel real real Love…
I've been really into soundtracks for the past few days, especially those for action games and the notion of having a static, subtle track run over unpredictable game actions and still making the whole thing work.
So this was made with that…
Hi folks - Uncle Paul is back at it after a 4 month hiatus from music.
Sometimes I just have to walk away from it. I'm sure most of you know what I'm talking about.
I forced myself through the 2012 RPM Challenge
and quit playing right after…
still raining so the £16 special came out.......
Around & Around (Lyrics)
Now you are my lady and i’ll never understand why you had to runaround with that other man
you know you’d send me crazy you know that i’m not sound when you leave me…
NO! NO NO NO!
Reg, in western Kansas, where I was raised, if a coyote killed a calf, we would put cyanide into it's carcass in hopes that the coyote would return to feed again. That's how you could tell a smart coyote from a dumb one. You would never see the smart one again. The dumb ones would be found next to the carcass.
My point is, if you are in anyway contemplating reuniting with Desiree, remember this story.
[This moves nicely! What is that cool noise right at the very beginning?]
The last one for the day....what can i say it had to be done.....
Broken Dreams(Lyrics)
We’ve all had dreams broken
we’ve all wanted the absurd
i dream of being loved again
to hold and not let go
i’ve been waiting for a long time
to try and…
I was listening to Jims beautiful instrumental and it struck a chord ...so here it is Thanks Jim.....
Shadow of a man (Lyrics)
As i look in the water i see a reflection of what i was
i see the strong man who could have done what ever he wants…
Inspired by Joel Taylor's piece in scala's 12-22h.scl tuning 12-22hexachordal sonatina I tried my hand at it and came up with this piano improvisation called "Smoke Filled Bar". I found this excellent drawing of a femme fatale in a smoke filled…

Comments on Norm's stuff
Yeah, this would song great with some Verbed-out surf guitar. very cool man.
Norm, this is wonderful stuff!
Many thanks, Launched! It is always a blast working with ReefWalker.
Dude! Strong stuff. You got the timing and the rhythm! I also thought the tracks that appeared on reefwalker's songs worked really well - Awesome!

You must be surfing in California. You may find the temperature more appealing in Hawaii or Central America! ;) Thanks for listening!!
fun piece of music
I love your toys!
this is excellent
But it's so damn cold! Still, freedom of the waves! Loved this one.
Sweeeeeeeet!!!!
Ha! I agree - in fact I'm fairly certain that it is an unalienable right for all; but you've got to be very good about the sunscreen.
No-one should be denied the chance to surf naked! :)
What a great groove!
Pure magic!!
Nice, definitely nice! I love the way there is a melody in there.
Welcome to Alonetone, Mr.Percussion Man. Great to have you aboard.
Getting the message loud and clear all the way from those Virginia hills.

"Just when you thought you were out... they pull you back in!" Welcome back. We missed you.
