When nostalgia and regret collide, we get "Bright Lights Shine"..... Lyrics: Drove six hours, landed in Pittsburgh Cold and tired, by the Alleghany…

Reg is leaving in the morning...there's a great big world out there to see....Acoustic & Voice trying to play that Bb Harp......... I can’t play it safe (Lyrics i can hear you say you want to play it safe but i’ve got dreams i want to…

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.

...And she picks them for him.

I tried to get the vocoder to work. It didn't in so many ways....

A little rough but I loved making it. My friend Dave had bought a Roland GR-20, so it was critical he did the solo in the middle and end :) Oh, all made on the Boss Micro BR. Love that thing!! This was fun to make!

Just a funky song about the world, economy, what we want, what we have.

When something's so crazy, it's true.

Maybe the last for 2012 Reg got the Acoustic out on this one and a touch of guitar fx for the vocal hope you enjoy.......Happy New Year....Although Reg is a miserable sod........

Bits and Pieces

We celebrate the passing of a great musical instrument. Hobart M. Cable, the piano lent to us this summer, is going back to his kind owner, Danny. He will be dearly missed. We hastily wrote this little ditty in his last few hours in our possession…

First things first, many, many thanks to Greg for adding Bass and a Great Harp break. Don't tell my mate Dave, my normal Harp buddy, he's been ill with Flu.
