This was a large, somewhat unwieldy internet-based blues collaboration from several years back. I wrote and sang the lyric. AE pub collaboration!....lyrics and vocals by Tangmo harmonica by Tony(T.D. Brown)...bed by Scott(Riffmaster)....guitarst…
I used to drive a slant 6. Dodge Coronet 440 made in 1967. Slow and heavy and 12 miles to the gallon. Good thing I was in high school at the time. I was just glad to have wheels.
Nice blues here. Love the voice box/bag guitar work and the harmonica.

My old buddy and collaboration partner Phil Close joined me on what is at or near the last song for my last album. I wrote the song and sang--Phil did everything else you hear. Dance in the New Year.
Dance, Little Sister.
Dance till you…
Pastichio Rocker aka PDOA wrote and performed/programmed this electronica piece and asked me to write and sing a lyric for it. Despite (or maybe because of ) my accent, we considered it a success. It got some college-radio airplay.
I've made…
Written and performed by Tangmo and Jay Jackson. If my voice sounds a little sickly, it's because it was. I went into the hospital with life-threatening heart and respiratory problems days after laying vocals for this song. It remains a 'spiritual…
"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

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.

One of the joys of listening to music on the internet is encountering music that sets off chimes of inspiration in our own minds. This holds especially true when the one doing the inspiring is a friend. Bruce Lesisko uploaded a song called Flyfinger…
Tang paid for the rights to use this on a CD, but never did. If the publishing rights holder wants it back, he'll accept refund.
Tangmo himself is gone and there ain't no sunshine in more ways than one. Uploading for him. Enjoy.
They were all in the cellar and Louis heard this great tune by the Farfetched Tangmo Band and had to recite this story he had heard of Jack and Jill... so here it is.............
Oh Lawd. Jack needs smack, I'm thinking. Reg, I didn't understand all the words, but you nailed it as a ballad. Surreal, my friend. You done good. Spell Tangmo right, next time though. ;)
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…
Final version
RPM 2011 - my first track recorded and the opening track for the CD
A kind of Old Time gospel number, which, if you listen to those pre-war guitar playing preachers, are virtually indistinguishable from blues. Except for the lyrics…
This song was inspired from all the snowstorms we have been having this winter, another on the way tonight.....I decided to prog it out for this one....prog-rock.....lets bring it back.
This is my most angry song.
Sodom And Gamorrah

How many times have we seen it?
Headline the evening news.
How many faces have been featured
While the tabloids expose the ruse?
How many sweet young things
Have tried…
Chris sent me this great tune playing his 17 ET guitar and fretless bass, and for some reason i thought Mafia instantly. Sammy the Bull was the under-boss to John Gotti back in the 80's and 90's and he turned informer to bring John Gotti down…
An unusual traditional tune from the first Scartaglen album way back in 1984. Going through stuff the other day and ran across the LP and couldn't even remember the tune or having recorded it. I played guitar on this track
As Dave rightly guessed, Elvis is not dead. He is alive and well living in our cellar in Sheffield. He kindly agrees to do a bit for us now and again, as he is getting on a bit now and gets out of breath easily. So here he is possibly for the…
She's left, your drunk and on the floor not able to see a future, your friend is trying to help, your not listening, he obviously doesn't understand you need the drink..........
So Jim of "Movement to Contact" asked me a couple of weeks ago to send him something...
I had no idea how ridiculously good the final result would come out.
KL: Vocals, lyrics, left side rhythm guitar and picking
MTC: Lead guitar, bass…
Tharek sent me this beautifully played guitar arrangement and told me to have at it with the spirit of Christmas, so I wrote and recorded this little message of hope and peace. Somehow when I write music with and for fellow musicians across the…
Reg told her it all, then he had to leave. His new flat has a bit of a gloom about it on this morning when he wakes to the Buzz of the Tv....................
The backing really captures the bleakness of the lyric. I like how the spoken lyric drew me in, yet was part of the rythm of the piece as well. Really nice.
(Lyrics posted below) A fun song I wrote with Kenneth from songcrafters.org. Its about having fun making music with friends from all over the world, connected by the internet and these great music sites that we all belong to.
I came in from…
Love this! I've overstuffed 4 CD's with musicians online I'd never have had the chance to play and write with. Tell blooby to quit noodling and make sense.

Awesome!
Nice to see this track ending up on an album Tangmo. Hope everything's well. -Jesse (PR)

Lovely song, your little sickly voice sounds a bit like Dr. Hook of the Medicine Show! ;-)

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.
Back to Vegas, baby. Needs chick singers and horns. ;)
nailed.
Some people say prog is pompous, self-absorbed, and overblown. Duh. That's kinda the point, idnit? Hugely enjoyed.
said it's bit quietly and made its exit. Very nice.
Opinion becomes news in some of these sources, too. Good stuff.
Sammy, that wasn't very nice. This was nice and nasty, however.
hahahaha. Once is enough to know twice is not enough. Loved the opening and that annoying panning. Hugely enjoyed.
May not be much metal, but you are definately the man. This makes me happy without being manic.
Dig the old skool keyboard (Rhodes?). Let's celebrate? OK. Good deep rootsy stuff.
You mean to tell me I wept in the Garden of Memory for nothing?
You think so, huh?
Chain gang
can hear the blues sky, however.
a very tasty song and addition by Movement to Contact.
Yeah...now that's pretty. Well-recorded too.
Nicely twisted version of an already pretty twisted song. Cool detuned opening.
The backing really captures the bleakness of the lyric. I like how the spoken lyric drew me in, yet was part of the rythm of the piece as well. Really nice.
