I went over to Reg's place the other day and he sort of scared me. He was out on his deck, pitching butts and spilling gin that he couldn't afford. He was a mess and had a crazed look in his eyes. I could tell he was ruminating again about…
In Argentina they say "in Argentina everything may change - except the tango", but I couldn't resist adding some percussion to this beautiful nuevo tango by Vincent Voois, composed in the style of Astor Pantaleon Piazzolla.
Check out Vincent…
Out on the lawn there arose such a clatter!
Sometimes, as they say, Christmas do come early. I found Johnny Stone's "Christmas Rock In Oz" under the tree and couldn't wait until Yuletide to unwrap it. What a rockin' gift! I know a bit about…
I was thumbing a ride along a hot, deserted Caribbean road. When Steve pulled up in this vintage pre-war Chevy, I was very grateful. It just so happened he was heading to the same cantina I was, so we kicked back with a pitcher of mojitos…
now where did i put that bottle of Rum...i've got the mint and the ice cubes............Damn i drank it already.....mint and ice just doesn't cut it but this tune certainly does ....great collab chaps ...i'll be back when i get another bottle......

New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…
Reg was talking to Elvis about Frank and he told him something he didn't know.you can have it all then at the end not remember it which is what happened to Frank the grind ground him down a sad ending for a great man......Dementia is a cruel end…
Good one gents!
Er, Reg, do you need a bigger cellar?
Here's my talley of who's down there already with the Regs Deuce:
Elvis
Frederico
Louie Armstrong
Bon Scott
Frank Sinatra
Jim Morrison
and perhaps Satan.
Reg's friend, Austin has a crush on this girl Louise who is way out of his reach. He is trying to pluck up the courage to tell her how he feels about her. He writes poetry about her. He goes to the bar where she works so he can see her communicate…
Reg has been sitting in the cellar reading some old notebooks and he has decided it's time to air some of his secret stash of poetry. He knows the word poetry can turn an audience of quicker than a desperate man turns a women off but he is prepared…
Well Elvis couldn't just sit still watching Fredrico and the others having such a good time Jamming, he got up and joined in........i mean the party has only just started...................
She was my Princess, Queen of my highway
She was…
Ok, I can already tell that this is going to have a tragic ending...
Whatever you do, DO NOT allow any females into that basement at this point. Desirea especially!
Reg was just tootling about with the piano and he got possessed by someone and just couldn't stop. He's thinking it must have been the Devil himself because he just couldn't stop......or maybe it was the Moonshine........

My version of this classic guitar instrumental. It was cool to learn that radio stations banned this back in the day since they thought it was too raunchy and violent, even though it didn't have any lyrics.
Louis was back in the cellar last night and he was telling Reg how Blue he was and they got to jamming...............This morning i arrived at the cellar to find Bon was passed out in the corner....Dave was right with his guess....He could never…
@ Dave:
Why, Louie Armstrong, of course!
@ Reg:
I don't know brother - your basement is beginning to sound like the bar in Kubrick's "The Shining". I'm beginning to worry about you.
Well, I feel almost human today. Been a rough few days with the flu or something. I'm running on a baked potato - seems I can't each much else yet. It was ironic that I became sick just when I went to pick up a Boss Loop Station I found for half…
Sassy Nation version!
Sister Savage and Mr Sandbags collaborated on the original of this wonderful heartbreaker of a song. I've been playing it on the guitar the last few days and it always seemed to come out with a grittier tone, so i asked…
Who should come down the cellar to see Elvis but Bon Scott. Reg got on with him like a house on fire, i mean they have a lot in common. Reg told him all about his new love. S o they decided to jam and this is what they came up with…
This is wild! Strangely attractive, inspite of the voltage noises you push through my head. A couple of great guitar licks, around 2:30 and love the rhythm guitar riff around 5:45.
Your percussion work is top notch.
Comments on Norm's stuff

Man that's so great, awesomely played and recorded percussion! I loved the cajon, never managed to record it properly myself lol
Precision percussion. Crisp recording. Can hear the fingers. Love it. Without seeing this performance in person it is hard to believe it... :)

Beautiful Reg. This will mean a great deal to your eldest daughter, so I hope she gets to hear it.
Excellent!
Good one gents! Er, Reg, do you need a bigger cellar? Here's my talley of who's down there already with the Regs Deuce: Elvis Frederico Louie Armstrong Bon Scott Frank Sinatra Jim Morrison and perhaps Satan.
Reg, show Austin a few of your dance moves and help him write a love song to her. That will do the trick.
Well done!

Chillin' at the casa...
Technically speaking, it would no longer be Hell with you at the piano, Reg.
7/8 = awesome pick for this song.
Excellent! Percussion is top notch!
Excellent cover. Great history too - I didn't know that.
@ Dave: Why, Louie Armstrong, of course! @ Reg: I don't know brother - your basement is beginning to sound like the bar in Kubrick's "The Shining". I'm beginning to worry about you.
Nuthin' unsteady about those hands. Great work! And what WAS that stuck to the eave?
There are lots of reasons to love this. I'd list them, but it's already obvious to all, and I'm too busy listening to this gem...
Great song.
You are hanging out with some fairly hard-core partiers Reg. Be careful!
Very clever!
Very clever.
Your production velocity is outrageous!
