Can’t we let this go
ooh I don’t know
Is this a tell and…
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.......

**Song-writing Demo for FAWM 2025**
Song number 01
Written Saturday-Sunday 1st-2nd February 2025
Written 1st-2nd Feb
Demo recorded 2nd Feb
****
I wasn't gonna do this FAWM thing this year, but they sent me an email...
And then I wrote…
Song 9# for my 2025 RPM Challenge. The finishing line is near. I wrote this song last night - it emerged out of the burning heart ache I've experienced since the death of my beloved 13 year old dog Maxwell (died last May) - my love for him is…
Sometimes writing a song is the very best and only thing you can do....
Cold Winter Moon
Oh cold winter moon
And the wind that blows
Bring me a change
For my weary soul
Take away this longing
That fills my heart
Something is over…
My words, ai demo.
Your clothes are in the wardrobe
And your books are on the shelf
I wander from room to room
Talking quietly to myself
How can I see my future
When you’re standing in the way?
Every morning I wake up, I’m in
Tomorrow…
Guitars/Mandolin: Doug Sparling
Composer: Traditional
Recorded: 2005
A couple of nice reels played on guitar, the first is The Cup of Tea, can't remember the name of the second one. Unfortunately my midi flute scratch track got added in the mix…
(Song 4)
Hair net tossed on the table
Name tag still pinned to my shirt
Work boots wait on the front step
but they might walk out on me too
I've got no one left to care for
No one left to hear my prayer
Talking to the kitchen window…
this is all chris. except i went the route of playing synthesized drums, which was a gas. at one time i couldn't stand the sound of them. but i knew they would fit his song. i think this is a very interesting journey.
A strange beast that began back in 2021 as a chord progression that didn't go anywhere. I finally knuckled down and finished it. It has a somewhat awkward transition from verse to chorus, but when I tried shifting either to accommodate the other…
I come up to the surface
And take a breath on my return
Crystal waters on the surface
Light gets swallowed down below
And it’s the same way with my feelings
About you they stay much the same
Twenty years wrapped up in paper
Tied it up…
Another one for Steve, our bass player….a BIG Planet of the Apes fan.
I never followed Those movies, but he assures me that he’s kept within the bounds of the narrative.

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 :)
Yes, and Elvis has gone off in a huff!
Go Go Go!
Well, that was different. Clever cool...
I never liked this song! But this, this I really like. It's really cool, love it Reg.
C'mon Baby, let the good times roll! Yeah!

Laid back and lovely…
That bass is shaking the car down and dirty
Another year older waiting for your FAWN 26 submission
Poor old Maxwell at least he was loved
I’m liking the piano sounds like a real one rather than midi but I’m probably wrong
Got a great 80’s vibe going with that synth
The UK stops on 2 inches of snow good luck with the next 3 months were hoping not to drown in all this rain
A beautiful song beautifully sung
Great vocal
