1)start fire
2)shovel snow
3)Make music (inside, not on deck)
4)access EWABS (emergency wine and beer…
4 stereo guitar tracks played out one at a time.
Another late night - early morning recording.
I like to keep a positive attitude about the things that haunt me, but sometimes dreams change course unexpectedly, and the worms creep in.

This is a collab tune which was originally written by Tad Rees (aka Solo). He plays the Keyboard.synth, and I did the guitar and drums. The last half blends with his original which can be heard in completion at :

Texas hold em poker, and going for it all. Open mic acoustic with some alt tuning. Percussion by Norm.
The kokiriko? Norms playing in there actually sounds like shuffling cards- particularly loving the glockenspiel addition he did…
I love your sound I would enjoy doing something with you listen to my Silent Night then write something for my voice you never know Simon and Garfunkel two
very cool,, don't know the cover, but i like what you are doing here,,it's very neat that the piece happens on different levels, some of it almost background and some fore ground, like i say don't know the original,, this is very nice
Samples used in this tune from the NY subway this summer. Inspired by Dave Dunseath
3-12, just uploaded a new version of this with guitar- and some other changes
Didnt mean to have a political slant but had just got denied my large order soft drink in Manhattan.
All thats left are the small sodas with the "NY loves big cans" tee shirts
There are far worse things that could be banned. Tobacco products for instance! Oh no, there is too much revenue gained from them!
Super music and clever writing.

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…

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…

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
