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.
That bassoon and oboe is so catchy I'll bet the mouse got caught . Yeah the guitar is smooth not chunky style the way I prefer it. Really loose and yet cohesive at the same time. A big thumbs up !
This is an invitation, with instructions, on how any AT musician can hop a train in the US and get to my house for a jam session. Figured the lyrics needed to mention all 3 of the collaborating musicians home towns cuz they all run along these…
I really dig the beat poet groove of this tune ...bongos? Far out baby!!! The audio at the end nearly tore me to pieces! If you cats are firin' up the grill, I wanna be there man.
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,

Thanks for the listen ,enjoy... RW
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…
In the time honored tradition of setting Bible text to music Norm Harris reads a passage from Exodus, King James version and provides percussion against a bowed bass guitar, 3 tracks of fretless guitar in feedback mode, trap set, orchestral…
Perhaps you could use a little fatherly advice? Well here it is!
Chording improvisation on 7 different conga drums tuned to an octave and set to 3-2 rumba clave.

Lookie here hot-shot: a silent fool is half a wise-man
And there…
Ah, time honored values of the midwest. Nice rhythm and Great Rural Wisdom Norm/
Lookie here hot shot, you cant be a eagle in the morning and an owl at night !
Long drum solos aren't for everyone - I get it. Just do what many at Grateful Dead concerts did and look at it as an opportunity to go get another beer. On the other hand, if you are the sort of person who cheers at the fireworks show, I hope…
This song is dedicated to my van...the Pumpkin.
She took me all the way from Winnipeg to St. John's, Newfoundland. On the way home she died on the 40 East between Quebec City and Montreal where i had to let her go.
Oh Pumpkin you have been good…
I asked CaptGene for something funky, trusting that a fishing guide from Babsom Park would know exactly what I was talking about. He did. The Captain knows funk.
I used to have a link to his original version here, but that is no longer available…
I did this live performance at the Shore 104.3 radio station yesterday (Aug.25'10) directly after singing this song in the vancouver PNE talent contest and winning first prize! hope you like it!
Check out the video of the PNE performance!
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…

Excellent track great mix

That bassoon and oboe is so catchy I'll bet the mouse got caught . Yeah the guitar is smooth not chunky style the way I prefer it. Really loose and yet cohesive at the same time. A big thumbs up !
One day I'm goinna catch that train......

I really dig the beat poet groove of this tune ...bongos? Far out baby!!! The audio at the end nearly tore me to pieces! If you cats are firin' up the grill, I wanna be there man.
Just listened to this one and several more in your great list of tracks. Really enjoy your music!
This made my day a lot sunnier! (Sounds like you have the studio back up and running - excellent!)
...
Time for me to listen to this again.
More cello!
This is still epic and one of my all time favs.

man, what a powerful sound. Cant help but think of Jim Morrison a bit with the lyric inflections.
Ha! thats a good ear Norm. I was going to edit the phone out but figured no one would notice it- I think theres a reactionary expletive in there too
Ah, time honored values of the midwest. Nice rhythm and Great Rural Wisdom Norm/ Lookie here hot shot, you cant be a eagle in the morning and an owl at night !
Excellent rendition and great tune..
sharp edge lyrics as usual. Great vox.
Love the FX's man. sublime! Would like to hear more of this.
great rendition, love the vocals
Excellent alt tuning. Wide open and sometimes odd sound scape, Beautiful
WOW, where did this come from?? I love it. from the beginning where you turn the mic on before you begin play all the way to the lactic acid finish.
Bizarre, yet Cool tune, I like the background vocals, This sounds like this could have originally been a MIDI track with new/diff samples inserted
great playing, love the lyrics too.
great tune. " live free or watch TV"- priceless.
Ha, I had to log in again just to laugh at Sister's comment. great collab track guys !
very cool song, vocals are great.
Wow !~ sweet collab. back for a second listen
Man, ive been out a while... Cool, mellow tune.
agree with Bethan, great short build up at 2;10. Good tune
great song to wake up to this morning !
The guitar and drums here are perfect- I think the mix is very good
Beautiful piece
