Based on Norm Harris' Percussion Solo Moonbathing http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/moonbathing this piece uses bass pictured above after conversion to fretless and uses my fretless Fender Squire through the metallurgy 3 demo effect.
I have a story to tell. Debbie and I went to a Guitar Center across town looking for a cheap used bass for me to convert to fretless like I did my Squire Strat. Well.... I ran into a really nice used Ibanez 5 string bass - with a B below E…
what a wonderful mix of story telling and music,,,,are/were you a lit major??? ,,you have an amazing gift of word... you have a new fan,, recommend this to all( don't worry about the length ))!!!
very fun,,, i have to wonder what your "better half thinks"?,, thanks for you comments,, if i were to do something like this i know what myyyy wife would say......
Matter Of Fate- This song started as a riff I was doing while tuning my guitar. It sounded cool, so I happened to record it on a small dictation recorder I have so I wouldn’t forget it. When I listened to the riff it just screamed Sticky Fingers…
Faith is assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

most impressive!!! the sound/tonal/texture qualities are superb!!!! the piano entry, is also superb (im gona need to find some new words so i don't keep repeating myself),, the sound mix between the piano and orch is very tight.... the movement flows,, it has beauty and an interesting depth/development,, the high point/rise about 10:30 ish is on a par with any of the "classical" greats,, interesting,, how it moves on from there... a very rich,,full ,, gorgeous musical work,,, you are an inspiration to me!!! if this is only the 1st mov,, then it's going to be a long concerto no? the closing octaves are superb,,
another,, very creative take on our musical world,, i really enjoy your musical explorations,,, sometimes i feel like someone in the old world in the 1500's listening to tales brought from the new world across the sea.... very interesting
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 is a serial improvisational piece (excepting some drum loops) in John O’Sullivan’s Blue JI tuning (which I rather like) – all of the instruments, African log drum, Nigerian log drum, Krin slit drum, Teponaxtli, Toere, Kaekeeke, Kalaau…
I wrote this song after me and my boyfriend who planned on getting married broke up. I was in a very desperate state and I believe God gave me the lyrics to this song. It's amazing how His peace brought me through what I thought I couldn't bear.:)
Please also listen to the second part of this track, "John Capulator".
This part represents first scenes of comics, John Capulator's appearing from the morning fog in a narrow alley, huge double chainsaw massacre near crowded underground station…
