Well ... there is nothing better than turning criticism into music. That's some beautiful piano playing.

is it time to phone a friend?
I said, hey pumpcrop
i'm talking to you
is it time to phone a friend?"

A live studio take,made in San Francisco's "Different Fur Studio"deep in the heart of the "mission district"..a live audience made it a lot of fun!2010
My uncle used to tap his foot and sing "six feet under, six feet under" and my grandmother
would tell him to stop and say it was bad luck, so I made this jam based on his melody.
Well, you are not going to often hear a 70′s metal piece from me. I have to plead affection for genre as it is what I grew up with in my garage band days. In this piece I put to use my stratocaster copy strung up with “Not Even Slinky…
I watched a few episodes of Metalocalypse and Dethklok inspired me to make this jam. I don't think it turned out "metal" enough though. The harmonized sweep arpeggios were the hardest to play. Hope you like it.

One of my heroes. Willie McTell was blind from birth and travelled all over the south in the thirties at a time when many people would never go more than 20 miles from their home.
Plus nobody sings the blues quite like him…
This time paying homage to grandpa. Did I miss any dead folks out this album?
I often stop and think of William
Up on Skinners Ridge
He passed me on his way back down
As I passed from being a kid
A shame you’d say
But aint that the way

This song is sort of about making a clean break, killing off the lead character in your story and burying him along with all his sins before the inevitable happens, and the bad guy gets his. Initially came from a jam with my mate Ben Price who…
You do have a lot of ideas with Mr soul, bring him with you in June, there is plenty of room in the cellar............ like the marriage between the guitars on the solo and the tinkle on the keys....yes....yes indeed
~Decrepit shadow of a piano in the shadows of former visitors~
I've played in such a cafe, a long time ago, for a meal/drink, thru the night. Surreal it was; second life. Yeah ...
A dramatisation of events from school.. hope 'Shaun' never hears this, and if he does, that he likes it in someway, and that things turned out alright in the end..
It was always rainin.
It filled him up
It summed it up
So perfectly
How nothing…
a person is like a clock
when the hands don’t move anymore
and it doesn’t tick-tock anymore
then you are dead
but the clock is just broken

Final version of this tune - voice and guitar, banjoe accompaniment
i'm still getting used to this new mic and finding my voice sounds different with or i'm singing differently because of it. So .. feedback appreciated, and if you like it…

Comments on thetworegs's stuff
I love that music. It sounds sort of Chinese, and that's fab in my book. Perfect delivery as usual Regs!
Ah, the vocal that goes with it. Wonderful lyrics as well.
Wow! A real cry from the heart!
Very sad and even more so because it's true. An excellent song.
Oh I see, this is the same one with vox. A sorry tale but ..... Very well done Reg.
Oh, I like it! What a lovely melody.
You certainly gave it the Reg treatment. Good one!
Very clever...harrowing lyrics against a beautiful Christmassy backdrop...thought-provoking.
Thanks for making this happen!
Beautiful! Lovely build up of warm festive layers!
Such a stirring melody, sung with conviction, Regs!
Shades of Meat Loaf in the vocal ...which is fine by me.....good oh Jarvo
ELP like version of Jerusalem...........with a bucolic vocal ...sounds like "angry of the Cotswolds"....and guess what ...I like it !! Encore Jarvo
fun,fun,fun......the banjiano is cool too ! Jarvo
always best to be up front and say what you think.... Good tune ,good tune.... Jarvo
its so sad when people are two faced - great tune
Is there no end to your talent? Great production. Love it
I'm guessing that they weren't talking about your positive attributes. Well ... there is nothing better than turning criticism into music. That's some beautiful piano playing.
They sound like lovely people! I hope they hear this too. I love your vocal here - sounds authentic and strong.
I like the way this bounces. Now that Norm has mentioned waffles, I'm getting hungry listening to this.
