Reg can be a callous bastard sometimes ......
What you don't know ain't gonna hurt you
Now you know I’m not gonna tell you honestly
About the dreams in my life that never came true
The love of my life that cut me in two
About the…
Reg had some terrible news that would break any man ......
How it rains down on me
In the early morning of the 14th April
Two days before the rain
Took the smile from my face to turn it to pain
Taking my smile from my face…
Reg actually woke up feeling positive this morning. I believe it was due to his sober evening and being in bed by 10 pm . Its a new him for 2026 or is it? let hope so .....Happy New year all x
Today is a beginning
Today is…
I'm sure you know the feeling .........
That feeling of feeling flat
Its the day after Christmas
That feeling of feeling flat
Nothing to be excited for or needing
All the fun has been had
Theres nothing more to come…
I always get that feeling the day after my birthday. I don't care much about my birthday but, come February 1st, I feel that empty, flat, hopeless feeling. So, yeah.
Its Christmas Day and the family are finally together even though it's only for the day .....
It's Christmas Day
Christmas Day its finally here
Its been too long a journey now to get us all to appear
We’ve been spread out…

Within hours of being posted, and here I am to dig your music....super song!
One thing I've missed about UK in the eighties, when all the popular groups would do a Chrissy-tune!
Reg has finally started to look at what the problems were in his broken relationship's and come to the realisation its him ........
I should have staid and played by the rules
Sometimes I know I’m an idiot
I know full well…
The clue is in the title Reg woke up feeling a little disgruntled with the world ....
Screwed up & wary
You say tell me your secrets
but all you’ll hear are my lies
The compromised childhood
remember…

well Reg just wanted to express himself this afternoon so he got to it .....
Freedom to exspress
If I’ve got something to say
Well I’m going to say it
If i got something I want to do
Then I’m gonna do it
I believe…
Been busy all week preparing for the winter weather and getting stuff ready for the horses and sheep to see them through winter. But with the torrential rain today i thought a guitar day was to be and this came out…

Reg has learned to hate his wife's cat...... but what can he do she loves it ...
Cat piss
Cat piss
I can smell it
I’m not sure where that fuckers been been
Its staining my nostrils its heavy on my chest

Reg has been searching the internet again he reads one article and believes it till he reads the next one that disagrees with it... now he's not sure on any of it ......
Fabricated Rubbish ?
Problems with no sleeping…
Getting lost in the maze from time to time is just part of life
The maze of misfortune
I get one step forward and three steps back
Can’t see where I’m going
Lifes so dark and black
Looking ahead seems stupid and pretty…
Reg decided to go busking down on the subway....
On the subway
Stood on the subway playing my music
As the world rushes by
Lost in a world of my own making
I don’t get washed away in the tide
Its lonely out here where…
Subdued - adjective: quietened and brought under control
poor old Reg has been told again.....
Subdued
Sky burning bright with that jagged blue
She’s Off to bed with that dinnner for two
She read youlike…
Reg has finally sunk down to where he belongs, he feels at home here ......a bit of an experiment with a pawnshop fuzz on the vocal..gives Reg a touch of Tom
in the gutter
I languish in gutter
I’ve said my goodbyes
There Ain’t…

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
Can i get a little whisky in this water said John
The day the world stopped being fair
I didnt know what to say so I said yeah.
I poured a double whisky and I placed it in his hand
And said friend, only true friends understand
He said friend…
It aint like no ones done this before
But how can you tire of beautiful chords
In the fifties
In Tenessee
Where my love
was born
Two young men upped and
crossed the yard
both cold cos it was rainin hard.
One of them turned said…
This celtic folk piece is a collaboration with lyricist Donna Devine.
This is Donna's explanation:

Finally going to end this RPM with a slop fest.
Pretty disgusted with my efforts. I did have some fun though.
I feel like I just gave birth to a full set of Ludwigs.
High gloss black of course.
Still reminds me of a 70's tv show but all i can say is it would have had to have be good one ... i would have watched it whatever just for the theme music...excellent....

Another nicely worded song…You’ve nailed it.
Beautiful song......hoping for the best for Reg.
Today is a great day to feel some positivity for the future. Your guitar and keys sound as brilliant as your vocals on this one. Great recording too.
I always get that feeling the day after my birthday. I don't care much about my birthday but, come February 1st, I feel that empty, flat, hopeless feeling. So, yeah.
Nice job ! Another Christmas tune on the site. :-)

"Nothing good in life is free"? Balderdash. I just listened to this for free, ya gloomy goose.
You've been knocking these out of the park. Again beautiful sound, but more so beautifully intense lyrics that somehow hit close to home again.
Great. Y'all are true Rockers.
Good one mate. Glad us Southern softies get about 5 flakes of snow nowadays.
Great one! And I bet the horses and sheep love hearing the music too. East wishes for winter coming. We are getting ready for it here too.
This isn't just a great tune, but the guitar and vocals sound clean and beautiful too. Nice one.
brilliant superb ,......cheers tony cee
another great song love it great vocal ,.....cheers tony cee
Dark but beautiful. The piano comes in with the exact feeling the song wove. Really feel this one.
Wow….soulful.
Kept hoping to hear that bluesy harp say hello in this one. Great tune.
I wouldn't have been surprised if Neil Young's voice came on after the intro, but then again I really like Tom Waits. I feel your pain...
great listen , love the vocals ,.......cheers tony cee
