First off, damn sad about the finger. I cannot relate to cutting it off, but I can relate to burning the skin off ( dishwasher incident of 2010- of smashing it flat @ work) so I do understand what you have been going through. It really sucks man. Second amazing track. Vocals spot on, mix is great, and very glad to see your new track up on A.T. Third-ly :) any time you might be in or passing through this area...or meeting up in carlsbad we have to meet up and jam, --- or if I am in that area on vacation--also have a good friend in denver who jams a mean piano/harmonica we have to get something going. Killer track bud, and hope you heal up quick and get the music flowing. Best Wishes your way! -JG
"No ducks were hurt or killed during the production of the tune" is perhaps more of a reflection of your shooting skills as opposed to your musical skills. ;)
I’m glad your finger is better – I misunderstood how it was hurt. Garcia never let something as trivial as a finger slow him down either.
Oh, this is priceless! Where do I start?
1. I'm sorry to hear you got punched in the nose.
2. Get your camo off and head over to my house- I have the orange sauce waiting and the grill is hot.
3. Either those are field recordings or your calling is even better than I remember.
4. The first 3 shots were yours, which was always your way of saying "uh, guys, there's some Sprigs overhead..". The last shot, of course mine - which actually produced a Sprig.
Excellent! Very clever.
You never would have caught me playing this genre a few years ago. WHat the hell happened ??
All the instruments were recorded with an open mic at my house. Which, as you know is always a chaotic place to record :) If you listen hard enough…
It seems a lot of you record with open mics and can relate. I record 1 track at a time with usually 4 or 5 tracks. So, Im only asking for about 15 minutes of Silence...IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK??? Anyway, my house is so loud, I get a lot of bloopers…
I still vote this for best home studio musician track of the decade. If you can't relate...buy a microphone. I was trying to record vocals the the collab with Epimeison yesterday and right in the middle of take 2, what decides to appear...an ice cream truck. REALLY?? You have a whole freakin park across wash and you choose my street with all of 3 kids to sell to!?! The economy must have really taken it's toll on the mobile frozen milk delivery service. WTF?!? Love it, fav it again if I could.
Starting out as a simple and awe inspiring invention, progressing to a more chaotic and demanding machine driven future. - people becoming enslaved to these devices. Feeding the machine.

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 :

This song is not for everyone but I like it because its a live recording with a single instrument using infinity delay FX. (I turned on the loop delay at :09 after the guitar was flat on the floor.)
All the sounds are made with an acoustic bass…
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 is was originally for piano and is a fair assessment of my piano playing abilities in 1977 and was written in that year.
The original piano version can be had here

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...
I found this poem I wrote back before she left. I put music to it and recorded it night before last.
Yeah, the high voice is me too.

And like the waves that will roll over me

So I walk to the place where the sand

Thanks guys for the listen and comments !
Richard, that sound like a great idea.
If AT was a Tavern, I'd buy a round for everyone !
What better than a community of musicians to drink with
Two-part tune. The first part is "Untitled," and the second part (based on the last bit of "Untitled") is "Sugar." We went for the slow version for the record. We also play "Punk Sugar" and have messed around with "Country Sugar" and "Reggae…
This is from years ago, living in santa fe.
I loved driving around in my little 1980s toyota corolla and listening to cassettes. I loved the way they sounded.
So I took a piano song I was working on, recorded it to cassette, dragged mic…
Wow...I almost like it better as recorded in your car with the other sounds ect...but this is so good, really needs to be recaptured in a better recording. really enjoying the changes at 6:50 too ! - and 8:25
still one of my personal faves. - although i'd wish to redo some parts, i'm stuck with this version, since i don't own one of the synths used there anymore..

Thanks Vais, I DL'ed yesterday and have been messin with it. I tried adding a few things today but never got to a point that I thought it was an improvement. Pretty full - if anything, I think my additions distracted from it -

I believe there's a demo version of this tune that I've already uploaded to alonetone. Originally written as a piano piece.
I had some lyrics describing a late nite cake baking experience kicking around. If I have a lot on my mind, dirtying every dish in the house seems like the right thing to do.
I stole some cool percussion from Norm and went to work. I also…
This is one stereo track of 6 conga drums tuned, by ear, to roughly a chromatic scale (I don't know which one - perhaps I've gone micro-tonal!) coupled with a single track of ad-lib quinto (the high drum) and a "shuffle" groove on trap-set…
Comments on Reefwalker's stuff
Great listen, nice changes of sound. Top quality vocals that reminded me in parts of the Alabama Three
Love the rich guitar...man
Dreamy and cool with an exceptionally delish vocal! Yum! (Obv. the "yum" was with reference to the duck, if my mother is looking.)
really cool! like that gun shot at the end!
Very Smooth sounds! Quite an abrupt ending........ Atta Boy Reefwalker!!!!!!!
Bruce, I love this track! Welcome back to AT and to Pro Tools 9 Brother!!!!!!!

I agree with the voice comments...fantastic.
Man I just *love* your voice. The music and mood is great - but you have a great voice. Bummer on the injury.

that's what a banjo can do....and of course delilah...sweet
Great sound!Like he beat..the talk over...nice

That is really cool Bruce! Very inspiring....... I'm taking my Zoom field recorded "Into the Field" to get some "Sounds of Hollywood"!
Nice tune. Very chill and relaxing. :)

I'm hating it too. Its just an infection I think. Nothing personal ;-)

cool, and unique song. the backing vocals bring it all together too
Cool acoustic song. I like the lyrics and the mended closure too. (makes me think about oil at the moment though)
Beautiful moonlight. Enters only though the window and not the door
Thanks guys for the listen and comments ! Richard, that sound like a great idea. If AT was a Tavern, I'd buy a round for everyone ! What better than a community of musicians to drink with

Wow...I almost like it better as recorded in your car with the other sounds ect...but this is so good, really needs to be recaptured in a better recording. really enjoying the changes at 6:50 too ! - and 8:25
I cant believe I missed this, very chillin track indeed, I really like when the base comes in around 230, and.. that pic is a trip
like the bass and keys in the backdrop -cool song
Ahhh, I really like this. technically, very well crafted with a subtle, smooth blend.
Thanks Vais, I DL'ed yesterday and have been messin with it. I tried adding a few things today but never got to a point that I thought it was an improvement. Pretty full - if anything, I think my additions distracted from it -
very nice playing and tone
nice open air tune. Great feel, clean guitar
