Since Norm found himself in an acoustically great room, full of unfinished cabinets I couldn't help but add some acoustic guitar, crank it up and hope you like it Norm!

The most excellent thing about this, besides your trade-mark sweet stringing, is how you phrased this so very differently than I had ever heard it. That's one of the charms of rhythm - how you hear it depends upon where you are starting from. I think I much prefer your ear to mine with this one. Many thanks.

Deadlines, freeways, appointments, things to do lists, expectations, getting older, not enough hours in the day to get everything done? ..... make each day and moment count! Thanks to Dave Matthews for a lick I threw in there. Enjoy!

Guitar, mandolin and voice.
this doesn't fit with my rpm project AT ALL so i may not use it but i like the way it came out. I recorded the music for Bethan Mathis' RPM project but she didn't have time to use it (her album is…
Final version
Day 28
Anyone else still writing songs?
this is the result of trying to listen to too many mixes in one day. Sometimes it's just easier to record something else.
When the girl in the room is just too cute for me to concentrate on whatever it was I was trying to do.

How am I supposed to get anything done

Story came out of my current situation of commuting Mondays to my job 200 miles out of town and then back on Fridays. Been doing it 8 months now. Trying to sell a house, it aint fun.
This is a piece written for a small ensemble of Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass, Flute, French Horn and Percussion in harmonic series tuning using a section from harmonic 12 to 30 reduced to an octave tuning of 15 steps.

My daughter Heather and I spent an afternoon walking together around her old neighborhood on Manhattan's Upper East Side; museums, cafes, the park; just talking and walking.
Another page from my "sketchbook". This is typical. Not much detail. But a real feeling or two emerges. Like a potters perfectly turned shard or the poet's beautiful line that she's never found more words to join with...
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…
First of 24 new song I have written. This one is cute, about unrequited love no doubt. #:)
When I say 24 new songs not all will make the cut but most of them will. I will be busy for a good long time!!
Using pointless picks of course.

More on the "Freak" end of the Orphans and Freaks designation. Most of the time I'm making music for myself, and this one just makes me happy, no matter how hard I try to resist.
The other night a few of Elvis's friends came over to see him and the thetworegs were listening in by the ventilation shaft from the cellar and they took a liking to a jam that was happening with a man called Diamond Neil doing the Vocals. This…
This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

Deep songwriting. I like it. It sets a real mood.

oh man, I really like this one. I had attempted a tune with this perc track using samples of other kitchen sounds but could never get it right. This sounds really good . nice collab guys !
Thats the beauty of collaboration 1+1>2 Thanks Norm
like those cool ethnic drum lines you had playing with the acoustic guitar, the ending mini-jam was impressive!
excellent synthesis of acoustic instruments complimenting each other perfectly!

Very nicely done... The perfect addition to Norm's outstanding use of cabinetry. Great job, Rick!
