Music by Trevitte Brown. Lyrics by Me. I tried to sing it, but it was too high, so Trev did. An old-fashioned Christmas hymn-style song.
Lyric:
Even though it's christmas
Doesn't seem like Christmas
Money's always tight here round…
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…
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…
Short for Truncated Funk. You may describe it any way you see fit. I "hear" this as soundtrack under the right "scene"--rhythmically interesting but not musically over-busy. Kind of strange Elevator Music, but you shouldn't try to dance to…
Mid-tempo, loud, and sans vocals. You want to sing (or play) on it? Drop me a line.
EDIT: I may have a taker on turning this into a proper song. If he does, this is "off-the-market", but if he doesn't, then I'll put it back on or do my…
Great to hear an ole Acid Planet friend on here. Real nice tune you have here. Pro all the way, has a cool vibe to the music reminds me a bit of the Eagles. Very Cool....
Easing my way back into music production. This is a work in progress, but I have so many ideas floating I don't know how long it will take to make progress. I do like the way this turned out so far. Enjoy.

This is such a solid track it could go a dozen ways.
Also, thank you for your comment. I had a 7th line clear up until my final mix when I realized how useless it was...your response verifies my thot. The song was start to finish this afternoon.Thanks again.

Co-written and performed with William Liggett. Tried to make it a 'duet', but not being in the same state--much less studio--made it too hard to match phrasing.

Our entry into a compilation CD for the Acid Exchange International Music and Arts Guild double-CD. I wrote the music and cowrote the Lyric with Scott Graves, and sang the song. Other players are Jay P Lindsey, Dave Bell, and Steve of Asymetric…
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.

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

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.
Comments on Farfetched Tangmo Band's stuff

Nicely done pulling everything and everyone together. Well done!
Wow this is pretty good, I had forgotten it. This is trev hey tango!

Gritty blues
Kool sounds. Has a great feel to the music. I never tried the Blue Curry before but this taste great.... LoL.
interesting mix of sounds T....i like those ascending and descending lines in the section after the bridge
Hi T, this one has a nice "ethnic" sound and groove....i like it
Great to hear an ole Acid Planet friend on here. Real nice tune you have here. Pro all the way, has a cool vibe to the music reminds me a bit of the Eagles. Very Cool....
This immediately puts me in a mythical meadow with fairies and crickets and lightning bugs at dusk...

Beautiful rootsy track :)
Groovy!

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.
