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!
Am so behind on my listens!! This is a complete treat - from the opening beats [banging on your guitar??] to the sublime guitar [played proper], just lovely.
would fav it twice if possible. I am a sucker for acoustic guitar percs. The guitar has some unmistakable Hawaii flav. too..I might have to break out endless summer now...
Damn! Feels good to hit the Upload button again!
Completed RPM 17. this is the last track!!. the album is my first run through with logic pro ( dumping pro tools and the monthly subscription fee)
I feel great playing again.. been so long…
Caveat emptor: I did absolutely none of the drumming in this piece.
ANOTHER WORLD PREMIER! FIRST RECORDING OF THIS PATTERN - EVER!
My friend Kokou "Alex" Yemey delighted me with another visit this evening. He played "Aju" - all 5 tracks…
Quick recording of a new set of pipes I'm working on. Long winded explanation- prior to the late 19nth century most Irish pipes featured very small bores and finger holes and were pitched well below modern concert pitch. I've always loved them…
Some people talk to me
Ask me what I do for a living
Use some rocks to grind my grain
Little bit of whiskey to tickle the brain
Valley fever giving me rest
Smokestack choked out to my west
Drink a little of the H2O
Give it a little…
More ambient experimentation with my fretless guitar and Roland GR20. This time I used some sounds from the magnetic pickups as well as the midi pickup. Kind of a cheesy synth patch I know, but it was working for me!
From a few years back. Bill Pohl, Darrin Kobetich and I playing in the lounge at the Ridglea theater, in Fort Worth, Tx. Our first performance as "Strung, Drawn and Quartered". Notable because of my first use of live looping.

Lyrics:
Oh little girl won't you tell me what you were looking for when you came to this place?
You've got friends, but not many of them like to be seen.
Oh…
Once upon a life
By OsCKilO
Once
Upon a life
Do we find
A happy ending
More
Are the times
That we try
To race from the line
Slow down Laddy
Wont you go a little bit Slow
So Daddy can
catch up
Hey there Laddy
I could run fast in my day
And…
I thought it would be fitting to post this today, on Memorial Day, as a tribute to my friend William Easley, as well as all who have fought and died in wars, American or otherwise.
Sometime back in the 60's William (Billy from here on) heard…
Maybe I missed a career scoring for no budget spaghetti westerns, because this is what this reminds me of. Done live a couple weeks ago with the Taylor and a floor full of toys and loopers.
Comments on Rick Phillips's stuff
I love it. Do you guys know about Joe Craven? I think Norm would find him very interesting.
Nice guitar work there.
I like it. Makes me feel like a swamp monster is about to grab me.
When you can bang, pick, and set yourself on fire, then you've got a killer act. ;) I enjoyed this. Made me feel all gritty and stuff.
Am so behind on my listens!! This is a complete treat - from the opening beats [banging on your guitar??] to the sublime guitar [played proper], just lovely.

would fav it twice if possible. I am a sucker for acoustic guitar percs. The guitar has some unmistakable Hawaii flav. too..I might have to break out endless summer now...

Pretty cool man, i like how you were able to mix the guitarcussion down so it's not to loud!
Super! Nice rithm Rick!
Very cool Rick! I've often thought of doing percussion tracks like this, but have never gotten around to it as yet
Yeah, like it. Has the atmosphere of being impromptu and natural.
Not as clever or as good as you Norm! But fun :)
