A cover by other Reg of " Help me make it through the Night". Kriss Kristofferson. On his late radio show (The Dead Cowboys) that can be heard on C.U.N.T.FM 66-69 fm on Weds evenings at 5pm
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.
-Lyrics-
Friends…
Sometimes life tends to repeat itself if you're not careful.... Good to find a moment to recognize old patterns and shake them off.
Great help on this one from the MN Coffee Table Gang - Greg Connor on guitar and vocals, and Mark Lofgren…
Maybe driving too fast
Don’t wanna be late
First time ever
On a kinda blind date.
The guy sounds good
At least on the phone
I like his profile picture
Sick of being alone.
Gonna meet this guy
Sight unseen
Don’t wanna look too
Interested…
Digging in the Dirt Cover
Uploaded Nov 7, 2012
The Two Regs vocals
frank drums
Chris guitar and bass
We cover Peter Gabriel’s Digging in the Dirt from his album Us.
No one grumbles in the pine woods
No one cries when morning comes
See the stars fade into daylight
See the footprints in the snow
My god could it be more certain?
My god could I take the wheel for now?
Ice made still the rushing waters…
It’s nice having our original lead guitarist back for a visit….special thank-you to Keith for his work on Matt’s song.
Lyrics…..
Hey you, little man inside a choo-choo
You do it differently than I do.
Hey man, I hear you’re on a big-plan…
This is from Dylan's album Oh Mercy. In spite of an intention to stop posting covers of songs and work on something angry and new, I got to the end of this without messing up the piano and only barely mangling the lyrics, I got too excited and…
As the top of Goat Fell touched by frost, the sounds melt into the distance —
those that once called us,
and those that still remain.

Happy New Year, everyone!
