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,
one diving board.
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…

Wow. This one is really together. You did everything right -- lyrics, vocals, instruments, mix down/mastering, diving board sound effect. Brilliant, beautiful.

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…

wooow! very cool, your arrangement is great! if you should see some old, hairless guy with a keyboard chasing you on this train,, that would be me ,, well done
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.
LYRICS
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…
Percussion by Norm
Lyrics by Rat-Hybrids
It's been tough to keep up lately, hope everyone is well.
Something I was working on as part of a larger project. When it's done I'll link it.
One about needing some space....
Geir: Lead Guitar Line
Launched: Harmonies bass and Production
Mr OsCKilO : Chugging Guitars and Vox
Mrs OsCKilO: Lyric
Peace Guys
An intrumental Track I put together when Thinking about my family.
One Guitar represents my son, one my wife and one me......
Two Versions with Vox (Jim Higgins and Geir Alfsen) are also in existance.. not sure how to link to this site…
I also recorded this once through on the Martin and Zoom H-2 yesterday as well. One day I'll do a decent version of this, I promise. For now this is my modest Happy B-day to John.
This is a rough mix of a track I did with the one & only Norm Harris. I've got some vocals in mind, but it may take some time to put it together, so meanwhile here's the instrumental version. Big thanks & major props to Norm…
Wow this sounds great! a high hurdy-gurdy would really pop this. but what the heck?? I dont know anyone who plays one....without a great deal of liquor involved.
Comments on Reefwalker's stuff

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.
Let me be number 16.....treading water out here in the deep not able to see the shore...
Wow. This one is really together. You did everything right -- lyrics, vocals, instruments, mix down/mastering, diving board sound effect. Brilliant, beautiful.
Time for my annual comment. A key song in the soundtrack of my life.
Inventive, creative, different, brilliant, far out, groovy, delightful, righteous!
This needs a bump for summer....
:)
wooow! very cool, your arrangement is great! if you should see some old, hairless guy with a keyboard chasing you on this train,, that would be me ,, well done
Still digging this one!

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.
