This one has caused quite a bit of discussion between us on how it should be mixed. Has anyone got an opinion because we would like to know how you would have mixed it, where would you have put the bass, piano, drums, voice, guitar etc. Any constructive…
Guys, this is great!
Thanks! My dad taught me to jive when I was about 5 years old. He used to have my sister in one hand and me in the other on the dance floor. He was a drummer!
I bought a thing called an irig for the I pad and an app Amplitude ...i used the onboard mic on the ipad......the song is my version of take it easy baby it's been Regged.... I still have to work out how to mix it .........I did this while sitting…
Reg has been reading a lot lately he's currently reading an interesting book called "Storming Heaven LSD and the American Dream by Jay Stevens" and so he decided to revisit A Toast to the Stone-age he did with Norm during Johnny's death and before…

Reg had a bit of tiff with the Mrs so he stormed down the cellar to release his anguish with Elvis and turned it into this little beauty .....now he feels a lot better and is making Mrs Reg a nice cup of tea to say sorry....because lets face it…

Excellent work! Welcome back other Reg!
@ Beth: Well, since you had to ask! Yes, the percussion here is very nice: I would classify this not as Bossanova (a Brazilian pattern built upon Samba type rhythms). To my ear, this is afro-cuban and would be in the "Son" (aka Salsa) family, in which the "2" is the primary accent. There are a variety of patterns in this family, differing primarily in tempo:
Bolero; Guajira<104; Danzón = 104-132; Cha-Cha = 108-126; Son = 122-224; Son Montuno = 184-216; Mambo = 224-264.
i think the title says it all.....the easy ones from the Beatles music book........More Regged up beatles but no Elvis he has gone off in a sulk he never did like them and he thinks were doing too much of them.......

My take on Gumbo's Keep Your Eye On The Spot, one of many excellent tracks from his RPM2011 album 'Cat's Moustache'. It's something of a departure from the original, though I was trying to retain an element of the gospel so hopefully its soul…
totally different vibe to Gumbos a cracking cover..... now i'm confused (conversation in head) ......which do i like better..... why do i have to like one better? its not a competition is it, why cant i just love both... ok thats what i'm going to do... thats it we've decided we love both... who wouldn't....excellent work Alex... those are some excellent lyric Gumbo
A few months back we had a "Beatlesfest" on songcrafters.org.
I contributed this and Yesterday.
This one's a bit of a departure for me. Not the song itself - it's been one of my favourites ever since I was tiny (I preferred Robin Gibb's…
One of my two contributions to a "Beatlesfest" we had over on songcrafters.org a few months back.
I still can't believe I covered this... having done it though, it feels like nothing is sacred. And, more worryingly, I feel I might possibly…

This one was tricky to do because the piano does not play at a fixed tempo, and it was an online collaboration (like all my collaborations).
EDIT final version now posted and the page turning is gone but i left this intro as is in case anyone is reading the comments. Does anyone read the comments? or the intro?
i turn a page somewhere in the middle of all this - you'd think i would…
it had got a hold of me by 15 sec... oooh yeh the wind did blow......just like the rest....a fantastic album.... if i was king ..... i would give you a tital...arise Sir Gumbo.....master of guitar and vocal

Like the laid back hippy feel of this and "a toast". Love the poetry and the lyrics.
You've been very productive recently, I can't keep up. All good stuff :)
Trippy!
groovy!!
Yay, super cool, nice irig/app thingy! Whatever, super cool! (signed, child of the fifties!)
Oh, I love that drum! Superb delivery Reg with perfect music. Cor, he reads heavy books.

This was a great collab guys! Really a fun listen. LG
Mean and Moody, love it
"...the crowded walkways of aspiration." - nice. So, the secret is out - there really are two!

OH! Smooth! Wonderful rhythm, is that Bossanova? This is lovely Reg. Dear Reg, this could be the prelude to a few more interesting encounters?
very unusual - reggae Beatles sort of?
Thats it. This year, im making it a point to fly to England and find Reg's cellar. Not only to meet the King, but also to play the £16 guitar
Good good stuff :)
