Norm played the percussion first, which is a Bembe pattern; I couldnt help playing a melody and creating lyrics for this perc track. Thanks for the listen, Enjoy!
Tworegs visited and we couldn't help but get at least one colaboration song done in the studio. I wish we would have had time to get some other songs he wrote in SF recorded in my studio but I was out of town during part of his stay, and to be…

Working through a barrage of songs over two different computers. thought I posted this already but its not on AT. (?)
A little re-tooling on this one today as well.
Enjoy- Reef
Another recent song somehow not posted to AT (?) cleaning house this weekend.
Had the privilege of playing around with a cello in the house.
Dont know how to play the damn thing but too fun not adding it in the mix
This is a true story. Im pretty sure this guy still has a taxi job on the night shift in Denver.
Too long since I’ve posted a song. Most importantly, I got Norm to dust off the skins and record some percussion for me. Good to hear Norm and…
I have Bodysnatchers and There There that I always play back to back in my car. To this day. Not sure why I do that. But now I know. Excellent performance, wicked harmonies!
After several bottles of wine, thetworegs and I were able to coerce Elvis and a few others down in regs basement to come out for a long overdue collab. After all, isn't October collab month?
Thanks again for the great vox!!

Hey Norm there was a knock on the door late last night and guess who was standing there all sultry and pouty .... yes .... you know who! .... it was her wanting in ..... I looked her in the eye and told her to go .... as she turned to leave I noticed her dress was so short I could see her stocking tops ...... I called her name .... Desirea she turned and smiled.........
This is a recording of Norm and me playing together a few months ago. I didnt have any percussion instruments so Norm was on a Roland electric trap set and I had a cello. I looped some of the stuff we did that night, and retrofitted the rest…
The music reminds me of a scene from the streets of San Francisco then Karl Malden’s nose comes into my mind and my mind suddenly goes over the hills and far away ...I like it.

I recorded the sound samples at St Marks Basilica on the spot....the story you are about to hear is true; not even the names have changed to protect the innocent.
You pretty much made this an original, I am mesmerized. So cool! The little clean break at the end is magic. Yes, I want to be your dog. And your puppy lol!

had to log back in to comment. great ambient backdrop. - even if your not in the mood for ambient, the sound snippets and the continued progression keep you drawn in for the duration. DL
I have issues at my house, sometimes they manifest themselves in my tracks. In this case, the bassoon and oboe represent the mouse. The guitar is the peanut-butter.
This is my first effort with real bongos. I've been so inspired by Norm's talents, that I had to give it a try. I borrowed a set of bongos from my brother Asa.

A few of you know I accidentally wiped out one of my SD cards that had all my works in progress on it. I'm just starting to piece it all together again - A slow process. This was supposed to be a reprise to "In My Head", but ended up being in…
So there I was, trying hard to complete a big production that I've been working on for ages, and I was getting nowhere. In frustration I started composing this little thing, and it quickly evolved into a nice piece of music all of its own. Funny…
Spontaneous little ditty about carelessness and always staying on the move. Quite different from the murky, depressing trite I always seem to end up composing.
This started out as a loose solo guitar jam around a simple chord sequence, and…
Another song from the archive... Written about a friend who somehow seemed to come out of her general sad manner... Thoughts go back to a lunar eclipse when the girl I was standing next to to watch it (way back in college) disappeared from sight…
As chance had it, I found myself in an acoustically great room, full of cajons! Well, they were unfinished cabinets actually, but they had lovely tones. Since this is the stuff dreams are made of, I had no choice but to seize the opportunity and…

Caveat emptor: I did absolutely none of the drumming in this piece.
WORLD PREMIER! FIRST RECORDING OF THIS PATTERN - EVER!
My friend Kokou "Alex" Yemey called me a few days ago with some urgency in his voice: "I must record this before…
Dude, of course this is an instant fav. Yemey and I were hanging out in Togo when I first showed him this pattern. I call it the "King of Windsor" pattern. Naturally, he couldnt tell you this as his english is Kwaai. The lyrics are old too, its about my brother, Norm, the last time he went pheasant hunting. Excellent, man thanks for sharing this
Something I did last year - A song about the crazy college days (Or Uni where applicable :) )
Bad Old Days
Everybody's drinking their wine
Driving slow and taking their time
Better off when I sip moonshine
Not rubbing alcohol 'cause I…
This is was originally for piano and is a fair assessment of my piano playing abilities in 1977 and was written in that year.

Yeah, the high voice is me too.

Glad you guys was able to get into the studio with Reg’s intense touring schedule! Chris
It’s a shame we didn’t have longer but we did have a lot of fun with the time we had ..you did a great job on this
My two words … fucking yeah!
Mine just attacked me while I was watching it carefully in the mirror it’s true it must hate me
Really loving this one today guys -Launched

I just got the lyrics of this song tattooed down the right side of my ribcage.
Epic.
@Norm, lol. Now under water.
I've caught some of those . Nice clean mix and production.
You pretty much made this an original, I am mesmerized. So cool! The little clean break at the end is magic. Yes, I want to be your dog. And your puppy lol!
I’ll agree with that ...
It’s Saturday morning “what shall I do? .... I know I’ll catch up with some Reef”

cool vocals and lyrics, fits well into the song

Ha ! Launched, your absolutely right ! How could I have overlooked this? man, the next song I do... mouse trap on the 4's
really takes on an Flyodish feel ( animals?) around 130
Nice ! The perc is cool I can practically hear the burn in your forearms at 1;30
cool change ups and groove throughout, Even without it mentioned, I think I would have been compelled to mention its Radiohead feel
excellent AF
very cool video with your song had to play it a few times. the strings add a powerful touch
bummer about the memory card, I know the feeling, losing songs blows. I like the song, lyrics are awesome too
Nice collab- the harp is a great touch to drive this blues track home
vocal samples (?) seeded within this song are cool. drums and keys are perfect.
This song is an instant Fav. The guitar riffs are excellent. Welcome to AT !
yes, great lyrics. I agree with Richard, this would have a good feel as a live performance.
they sound excellent ! Is there a way you can stop with your kitchen remodel and keep the cabinets as they are???
great song, cant believe I hadn't heard this yet!

something about the end of this song that makes me want to bust out the old Zenyatta Mondatta album : 0 cool song
the lyrics and voice are perfect for this song-kinda a early Petty, Springsteen feel

cool, and unique song. the backing vocals bring it all together too
