RPM CHALLENGE 2024
FLAME OF LOVE
Sometimes you make me so confused
I just don’t know what the hell I’ve got to do
Life may go up but it always comes down
falling heavy heavy heavy to the ground
Dulling our flame of love…
RPM CHALLENGE 2024
GOOD OLD BOYS
Good times with the good old boys
Cause their all back in town
We’re gonna get down and groove
and spread that love around
We’re gonna get down
Get down let loose and let loose
Its…

For the first track for this years RPM. I recently went on a short break to New York for the first time and had a walk about with my camera and explored most of Manhattan over the three or four days and man did my feet hurt at the end of it…
The wife has gone riding so I came down the cellar and turned up the amps using my Tele and 335 to see what I could come up with .....
I ain't no Mr Nice
Busted broke in Vegas
But I still ain’t had enough
Ain’t got nothing left to give you…

Reg has just realised he's living the dream he's just not sure what that dream is but he's having fun with it.....Hope you all had a good Christmas and here's to the New Year ...Keep Dreaming
Living the Dream

It's too bloody cold to go out today so I picked up the guitar and this came out ....Thanks for listening
Lets learn to Rock n Roll
Hey Mr
Yeah you
I know all you say ain’t true
I can see you pretend to be what your not
So come on…
Reg has been reading the papers again, it always brings him down, but this time he can't carry on looking the other way and ignoring the news and the facts that the life, the freedoms he holds dear are slowly being dissolved not just by his government…
A day of from the gardening and my first go at organising drums in Easy drummer that funnily didn't turn out to be so hard . I'm playing the Tele with the Kemper and Boss Me-90 Thanks for listening
You shook me from my middle
And you…
With a little help from some of the lyrics of the Doors descriptions of the uncertainty of the 60's Reg has decided to do a kind of Punk song from both sides about the trouble in England which seems to be igniting the youth to set light and loot…
After Sebs football today I went up into the loft searching for an old guitar a friend gave me a few years back. When I lifted the lid of the case I saw that the tone switch was pulled off leaving bare wires. I couldn't remember if it worked or…
I was having a strum and this one came out....thanks for listening
We gotta rock n roll
They say if rock n roll beats in your Soul
That the notes make a key to fit the keyhole
To open up a life to be full and free
To makes you, you…

Its snowing so nothing can be done on the garden so why not go down the cellar and have a ponder...and of course get Edie the acoustic out and let her join in with the pondering...Thanks for listening
We hear no evil
we listen the news…
Saying Sorry ....What a drag!
Saying Sorry
I ain’t no innocent
I don’t pretend to be
I’ve always wanted to go through this life hoping just float free
But then today it all went wrong
Everybody seems to hate me
When I’m just trying…

Total inspiration for me this morning! The snow is also coming down here in MN, USA and I don’t think it’s ever going to stop this season. This song captures exactly the challenges we are all facing. Self seeking politicians seem to be everywhere these days! Great stuff!!
SHINY THINGS
Like the shiny things a crow stashes
Crumpled napkins and cold ashes
Like broken pieces when the bottle smashes
My tears don't mean anything at all
Like the golden rings around your fingers
The forgotten songs by unknown…
Another song that never made the cut on a recent album, but I plan on finishing it later. Drums were written by a friend of mine after I gave him a very rough drum idea.
Latest in a run of covering some my all-time musical heroes...the inimitable Kate Bush, and one of her most evocative and emotional tracks....didn't mess around with the arrangement this time...kept pretty faithful to the wonderful, and at times…

I went over to Reg's place the other day and he sort of scared me. He was out on his deck, pitching butts and spilling gin that he couldn't afford. He was a mess and had a crazed look in his eyes. I could tell he was ruminating again about…
It’s been a while since I heard this one brought a smile to my face this morning 2012 where do those years go I hope it’s a Time Machine he’s building in there
Well, its that time of year again and all 4 of the ladies have something to say to you this Christmas. I used Wrinkled Shirt's tune, Skydroll, as a frosty backdrop and brought them all along for the sleigh ride.
In order of their appearance…
Norm played the percussion first, which is a Bembe pattern; I couldnt help playing a melody and creating lyrics for this perc track. Thanks for the listen, Enjoy!

another intentional feeling
that's making me so confused
it's no like I could have predicted
but it's all because of you
because of you
you touch me and lights start…
I used a few Minilogue xd patches (Pizza Time, Adagio Strings, Brass Hero) to lay down the main parts over a basic metronome kick. I recorded the sequences in live into the Deluge and then edited them as needed. I started with the plucks, using…
Tworegs visited and we couldn't help but get at least one colaboration song done in the studio. I wish we would have had time to get some other songs he wrote in SF recorded in my studio but I was out of town during part of his stay, and to be…
Comments on thetworegs's stuff
yeah, sip a good drink and get into the cool vocal projection. Good job.
Wow, cool jazzy feel on this. Nice boogie. :-]
west is best and this one rocks too
Love it! Opens a nice early Elvis Costello vibe, and the American Noir vocal is great.
Nicely done. Is that yourself on keys? Very light! And I like the samples. Especially when the cop car pulls up alongside!
Dude this is some heavy music! Chris
This rocks!
Great optimism, keep living the dream.
Sounds like you might like that cold weather after all!!! Great song!
Well said and well played. These times we are living in sure are something…..
