Richard thank you so much for your support. I don't have a problem with simple though it is not something I strive for. Talking to God is hampered more by my inability at the keybaord. However I could not have written that piece on my guitar. I have great respect and admiration for someone like yourself who has command of the keyboard. I have a heck of a time putting to hands together to make something. Chris
This is a blues riff I've been playing with for a while. I wanted to start with a slow style blues. I'm working on a sped up dance version. So I threw down some rough lyrics and did a quick demo recording, added a solo and a small vocal backup…
"hang on to your hopes my friend",,, what a great line, in such a powerfully personal tune,, from where did such musical genius rise,, ive listened to this several times now,, your take is highly artistic,, a very beautiful take on a beautiful song well well done Richard
Norm has been teaching a master's class in percussion and gave me (a lot!!) of guidance to try to add bass properly to this. I added 5 string bass, Fender Mustang and GR-20 sax to his excellent Tumbao track. We hope you enjoy it.
A 7/8 improvisation on a set of 3 Bata drums, accented with afucha, tube shekere and cowbell.
The number 7 is a symbol for perfection or completeness: 7 colors in a rainbow, 7 musical notes in a scale, 7 days = a week, etc.

A single track of improvised chromatically tuned congas in 7/8, accented with clave, guiro, cajon and quinto.
(For those who may be interested in collaborating on this, the triplet phrasing of this groove may be most easily counted like this…
very cool,, two or three or how many congas? some of it sounds like beats on the out side of the skin and some from the center,, im trying to picture the technique,,, have you ever made a video of your play?? i think it would be fun to watch,,, well hit R
Reg took a collaboration from Chris Vaisvil, Norm and threw it into the cellar last night and this is what was returned through Regs door this morning...... a tale from the old wild west.........................
This is about the free spirit soaring high above the seas, forests, cities and times.
~There is no dark side in the moon, really. As a matter of fact it's all dark~
wonderful playing,,,the first piano part is particularly well constructed, recording or midi? the sound is great, the synth/electric organ? adds a very different sound style,,, also very nice, i think if it was me, i might have made them into 2 different pieces,, (but that's me) id love to hear your thinking on this creative decision... take care Richard
yes touching and beautiful,,,you do great justice,, to what is one of my most favorite songs,,, the song it self is such a wonderful combination of music and lyrics,,, your style/treatment is very fine..

This traditional Cuban rhythm is the well established "go-to" pattern for 4/4 songs. It is perhaps the most commonly heard conga pattern in 4/4 music. The bongo pattern that accompanies the congas is referred to as "martillo" (the hammer…

Comments on richardlaceves's stuff
Moons and pianos, man, hard to beat that. Beautiful. Very well done, Richard. I can close my eyes and see the moon. Someday I must get a piano...
Beautifully delicate piece, Richard!
I missed the eclipse the other morning, but this more than makes up for it. Beauty.
Had to download, there will be a bright moon on the lake tonight - and this one will be perfect for the dance of the moonpath on the water
nicely colored Richard. Very elegant playing.
Too beautiful for words!
brilliant, most brilliant! your motif is very evocative - and the playing is carrying a lot of emotions..
This is music to sit back and dream away... Very nice.
this is excellent
I always like stuff that just comes on from the heart based on temporal environmental influences!
very nice! P.S. - I did upload two things but took them down. they were stuff I found from February that I will never really finish.. I decided to hold off.. I have new material in the works... been too busy to get to it lately :-(
This is sooo beautiful! w;-)
it is very beautiful and peaceful Richard

Wonderful.
I really loved your complete piano sonata Richard, it's a really good and complete work!....... yes! let's do something together now!
wow !, I almost missed this. I really enjoy your piano pieces, I think the transitions are very addictive.
Sounds so lonely and melancholy. Truly lovely, beautifully played and I like the different melodies in there, very pretty.
