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.
My first attempt at a Blumlein or Mid/Side recording. This one is actually a mid/side recording as I used a directional mic in combo with a figure 8 ribbon mic set at 90 degrees from the main mic. Thanks to Pat Broaders for the loan of the ribbon…
I wish my listening gear was better--enough to give you some supportive comment for your recording technique. All sounds wonderful here, and the piece itself is emotive and beautiful. Really enjoyed this. I've met some fine guitar players on my sojour through internet music--you are one of the finest.
I didn't like the 1st version so i changed it so here it is. imagine Sitting in the forest listening to the breeze being free and wanting to follow it..........................
It does create a palpable sense of yearning. What a sweet melodious/countermelodious listen. Great use of the jaw harp too, if that's what I'm hearing. (my set-up isn't perfect at present).
Having fun (finally) playing around with the riff for this tune by Howling Wolf, which is based on a song by Charley Patton and another by the Mississippi Sheiks and another by Tommy Johnson and so on ...
Kinda rough. I'm uploading this mainly to share a guitar technique I've been working on. I'm wearing a slide on my picking hand and using it to alter pitches in single line phrases. There's a lot more can be done with this technique that I've…
Very emotional in its own way. Those added "bends" tell a story about being blind-sided and trying to maintain composure in a topsy-turvy world. Or...it could just be a demo of a new technique. ;)
Had these backing tracks laying around on my drive for a while and didn't know what to do with them, so grabbed my Ebow and a fretless electric that I built for myself a couple years ago and had a go. My fretless playing is really in its infancy…
This little toe tapper is simply a baseline of guitar, bass, and drums, with horns and guitar providing the solos. It was also a song I just couldn't find the right lyrics for. Oh well. Enjoy.

Aarrhhh ye scurvy sons (and daughters) of sea-rats, the pesky pluckers have been at it again.
Pin back yer lug-holes or it's the plank ye'll be hoping for!
This is probably the last of this stuff from the archives that I'll upload. Rescued from a cassette tape of a live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen. These tunes are popular down in the Southwest of Ireland. Michael(Fiddle) and…
A long over due changing of the acoustic strings led to this epic production. 40 tracks and 34 plug-ins. Good Gravy that's a boat load of tracks. All kinds of stuff happening.
Enjoy!

this tune is a one take playful moment, loosely based on the main theme from the 2nd mov of my piano sonata,,, i only toned down about…
Archival stuff from my distant past with former bandmates in Scartaglen. A set of traditional Irish tunes. Rescued from a cassette tape done at a concert back in the early 90's. Myself on Uilleann pipes and whistle. Mike dugger on guitar and fiddle…

Awesome!
Nice to see this track ending up on an album Tangmo. Hope everything's well. -Jesse (PR)
Excellent!
Lovely song, your little sickly voice sounds a bit like Dr. Hook of the Medicine Show! ;-)

Sweet. That Let Love Rule is a great little hook. I like the genuine change up about 3'15 too. Well put together song.

digging this afro-rythm-blues fusion. Talk about 'roots', you've reached the tippy end here! Why can't I be this cool?
cool russian folk song vibe to me. Lovely lyric. Has everything it needs, and nothing it doesn't.
when you've had too much, you can't even say wicked ways of whiskey. Too much work for the lips to form those 'w's.
You done good with it.
very dang thingymebobby if you ask me. Made me nodding thingymebobbish.

One of those electronic picks? Great progression to slide around on.
and now for something completely different. Big fun here.
Seems like there ought to be 11 or 12 seas by now, what with inflation and all. Hugely enjoyed.
The energy was pretty good this morning too. Hugely enjoyed. Glad you found it.
Enjoyed the EP. I like the laid-back rough-edge vocals and well-oiled, tight band. Good stuff.
Grew on me with every bar. This is very odd, but engaging. Hugely enjoyed.
Amen. Preach it.
Amen. Preach it.
very pretty.
sorry...wrong comment. LOL. Kinda pretty, but right powerful.
