A little more up-tempo than my usual stuff, this is the first track I recorded with my melodica. Those things are TONS of fun. Had lots of fun making the drum track too. Really simple...drums, fretless bass (two tracks) and melodica...that's it.

This tune hopefully shows the culmination of my musical influences (namely, Mick Karn (R.I.P.), Adrian Sherwood, Bill Laswell, Jah Wobble...) while also painting a visual picture...as it was written and recorded in one day after I went free-diving…

Didj, koto, african percussion kit midi

Looped distorted cello.

'...whys and wonders -AND wordless prayer for Heather J., Jim L., David Garcia, Jerry W., Dr. Choi, M. Sparks, John Fitch II, and dear Zea, among many others.

Dedicated with love and concrete concern to our dear 'north east' Japanese friends (deceased and bereaved)...and to the very best on their road back to ?? a new normalcy. +

As you know Reg has stopped drinking but the DT's have not stopped he has started hallucinating. He is looking for something to believe in to stop him drinking but he can find nothing at all, he has started to think there is nothing to believe…

This is the music to "Was it all worth it" reg wrote and performs this. With out the chatter, so you just might have a different take on it..........
