Beautiful Music! I had trouble playing the video.
Isn’t Catalina Island where the Great Whites migrate through? Yikes!
rpm #7,, i think this will be the overture, to a small midi orchestral suite, which i hope will finish up as my remaining 3 pieces for this years rpm, but well see how that goes,, thanks for all the helpful comments i have received on this project…
an overcast rainy day here in south calif.. i sat at my piano in the morning and this just sort of sprang out on the keyboard... since im learning about electric guitars this feb (for rpm) i spent the day playing with different amps and effects…
.......if there not the one,should you keep looking, if so for how long...........well Reg threw Henwrench's music into the cellar and what bounced out was a song he wasn't suspecting....
Love me tender
I've been alone now seems to long…
really a fun piece,,, im not exactly sure how to describe this in terms of type (perhaps ive led a sheltered life) but it's very cool,,, once again you show a different side of your creativity,, very nice
Tracy posted a message which said, "If I could write a song about the way I feel right now, it would be a hit." So I grabbed my guitar and came up with this...
Fallen Arkansas Blackbirds is inspired by the 2011 New Year's Eve report of thousands of blackbird dead and dying in Beebe Arkansas. Some apparently dead upon impact others dying a bit slower as they tried to walk away. This is the sad scene…
Reg is trying to find escape from all the bad news surrounding him, his age, his life, the world as a whole, He needs to escape he can not do anything to help the suffering people of the world apart from maybe send money, he can't change this…
another musical/lyrical journey with our friend, Reg,,,,,, you have some interesting/powerful comments,, both personal and global,, interesting piece,,, it seems to me that your choice of media/presentation allows you to say things that others can't or don't,, (which is neither good or bad) anyway i enjoy your work very much.. Richard
Not being particularly religious, I still believe that the soul exists and that it does not die.
The prologue and epilogue of this piece were recorded in Basilique Sacre Coeur, Paris, on March, 11th 2011.

A slow, scaled down, bluesy song with tremolo guitar, soaring organ and close up vocals.
Don't Ever
(Words & Music by Jana Persson)
I wanna hide no more
And I wanna close the door
Don't ever leave me
Never decieve me
Don't ever…
very smooth,,,excellent production backing up such marvelous talent, leads to a wonderful piece,, love your voices,,, in a way this brings to mind the collab of Hal David and Burt Backarat from the 60's and 70's of my youth.... well done sisters R
very nice,,,, i really enjoyed this,, i have one thought,,, it seems to me that the 2 or 3 tracks are somewhat in competition with each other in terms of volume.... piano,string,pipes or such? and all are strong parts in their own right, im used to a little more,, of a hand off between such strong parts with each taking their turn at the lead,, anyhow,, this is a very fine work,, hope you don't mind the comments,,, and as always please,,please feel free to share your thoughts with me Richard
tried to send a note,, but not sure it got through,,,
wowiee!!! great story telling indeed!!!, really like this,, my i suggest that when you have time you listen to regg (thetwroeges) another great story teller here on at (thought of a much different take) there's so many different and great styles here,,, take care,, welcome and look forward to hearing more Richard
wowie,,,great storytelling!!!,,,i look forward to hearing more....my i suggest you take a listen to another great story teller (though of different style from this) on this site regg otherwisw known as thetwags,,, well well done Richard
lovely,, a very mellow tension,, about 2:40ish breaks into rich creamy, tones (i know creamy is an odd description but, that just comes to my mind),, this piece has a beautiful understated sense of drama, and passion,,,masterful!! Richard
Had to try out the Yamaha DX100.
So I combined with the Korg I3.
Hope you like it!
Video is at youtube!See the link here, if you like to see me playing the instruments!
yes welcome to at,, nice to hear you here,,, it's a wonderful place for all of us to play around and listen,,, this is very smooth,, great energy in this
Reg has just finished reading the Sunday Times it's quite a read and he has decided he has had enough of bad news. So he is going to try something different to try to carry on getting his kicks before the whole shit-house falls down…
Comments on richardlaceves's stuff
Very nice Richard it seems so celebratory and yet private in a way. Loved it.
It’s been a while since listening to a tune of your Richard a moment to think and contemplate thank you
Very nice and relaxing tune- I almost could see the clouds!
Dave and I enjoyed this very much! It was the song the quartet played at our daughter’s wedding as she walked down the isle!
This is beautiful, the notes hang in the air like snowflakes lit by a full moon.
Beautiful composition Richard, I really enjoyed it
Perfect tune to end the night. Loved it
Really delicious chord changes in those arps. Enjoyed the flowing rythm. Very nice piece. ENJOY RPM and have a great time.
Beautiful and Powerful Piece of Music
Very nice tribute
Beautiful playing.
