Didnt get the album out for RPM this year, but did have some time to make some music in Feb. Dylan is one of my favs . lowered the BPM quite a bit and truncated the lyrics to fit, which Im pretty sure put my wife to sleep, lol Enjoy!
Lyrics…
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!!
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!
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
Just got my system up again after several hardware upgrade conflicts, and a move to California.
Been thinking about changing this songs ending for a while, finally getting around to it. Good to post here again!
Cheers,

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.

Wait. Desirea is back on the scene? When did she get sprung from the Big House? Has she actually gone to any of her anger management classes?
(And how is she looking now days?)

A sweaty foot covered in fishnet, fresh from a patent leather high-heal shoe was always Elvis’s first addiction then others followed quickly......and it all got out of hand when Desirea came on the scene .... but that’s another story

Should it be "A Fool for Your Stockings feet" Thetworegs? I love Reg's basement, but come on! Charlie, get it together!!
As always, great voice and tasty licks.
MORE COLLABS!
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
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.

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...

Yeah, the high voice is me too.

Love this!
This song changed my life!
Epic. Part of my personal trilogy of yours.
Love it!
Haha! Totally brilliant!
Super cool...also, awesome production!
Excellent, as usual.
Such a magnificent moment in time... and this brings it all back. There are no innocents.
What part of this is Carl Jr? Fuck
Wait. Desirea is back on the scene? When did she get sprung from the Big House? Has she actually gone to any of her anger management classes? (And how is she looking now days?)
*melts* Top notch, top drawer, top stocking top collab! (Those bvox are also freakin' ace.)
ha, this is great, sounds like you guys had a blast recording this.
Great music! (and thanks for the support).

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
