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!
Ok, I'm ready for the song describing how the guys go off to a secluded island/mountain cabin/desert cave with their instruments, a case of scotch and a Weber grill. In the future, please use my percussion patterns to write a song likw that.
this was originally a song about breaking through paradigms but turned into a song about a girl.
Keys and string samples from Korg, MIDI with the old Ensoniq,
one diving board.
Thanks for the listen ,enjoy... RW

I did the guitar and bass tracks first, then procured my 10 year olds cello for the main bass line :) I also tried my luck playing cello with a bow on this track- which was a new experience.
The trumpet and violin bits are played…

Good ole wah pedals ;) I think sometime in the future i would like to invest in a talk-box...why? i have no idea, i think if i ran my guitar with a synth effect on it, through the talk box to a wah....it might get interesting.

he was nuts. too creative for his own good. he used to get high on absinthe all the time and that really altered his reality. it essentially fucked him up good. Hemmingway was another absinthe user/abuser. do da maff.

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.

Very cool!
Precious recording!
Sweet tune.
sounds good, like the 'night sounds' as well.
Ok, I'm ready for the song describing how the guys go off to a secluded island/mountain cabin/desert cave with their instruments, a case of scotch and a Weber grill. In the future, please use my percussion patterns to write a song likw that.
I hated this song from the moment I heard it. It was the last song in the world I wanted to hear. I still hate it, but I listen to it every day.
This is really great. I love the changes.

This was sweet!
like Jarufus says: do da maff.

Van Gogh would be proud.
Excellent track mate brilliant.
Thanks for the listen and comments! LOL, ya Norm, thats actually not far from the truth !!
MUST LISTEN AGAIN....and again....and again....
If I close my eyes to this one, its December 1973 in Del Mar California listening to Pink Floyd, really cool RW!
this is excellent!!
had me grooving secretly...loved it!
reefwalker + norm = massive hurricane force

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
Is that live guitar or keys>? yet another good example of the cool variety of music you create, this almost sound like it could be a prelude to something bigger...
cool, and unique song. the backing vocals bring it all together too
