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.......
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…
I had a blast doing this one with Geas, hope you like it as much as we did doing it...............

Well Reg has found himself in some difficult times in the past and has needed his time in the Asylum just to let time catch up with his mind.........this track is about such a time...when his affair with lovemebaby turned sour.....

I heard Fort Bigwater by Wildgeas Music this afternoon and it struck a chord and some lyrics came to mind...so here they are...Thanks Wildgeas for letting play.........

~Good things don't age. What about a man?~
I was a fan of easy listenings like Enoch Light, still love these sounds and light pleasure that they bring. Here so.
P.S. Night birds recorded in Berlin this April, silly whistling/theme is mine…
Love the pace of this, a nice slow walk....back to the car with a nice clean shovel...in mornings first light.....the birds are singing and the carnival of summer begins....with a mysterious bass line.....and the long lost art of the whistle....excellent
Days drip on the page pacing the cage excellent great vocal Sandy .....not forgetting that great playing Dave...and that magic sauced solo...i shall have to look up Bruce Cockburn sounds great.....no relation to Rooster i suppose?
This is an experiment where I slowed down Norm Harris’ percussion track “7th Son†http://alonetone.com/norm/tracks/7th-son and slowed it down by a factor of five and ran it through effects and such – and then played along with my 17…
love the sound of the slowed percussion each beat seems to shake...sounds like musical devastation the twisted sounds in the silence after something major just happened...an earthquake or Tornado...with a man in a Pink Tuxedo running around crazed in the wreckage looking for his lost Bride.......
This solo studio dub jam was created and recorded in about 8 hours of play time one day. As usual, it starts with a simple drum machine track, then fretless bass, then keys, guitar, then a Balinese kecak drum and a tbilat drum and finally melodica…
Here is the solo dance version. It's rockin' pretty hard. I'm hoping to take this into a band setting at some point and get some brass involved, but for now...
I couldn't resist crossing swords with Alex on this deft song of his which left me quite touchéd!
*Inspired in part at least by accidental meat on meat.*
Here's the original track.
thetworegs - amazing vocals (is that really you Elvis, damn, what a vocal)
Dave - Electric guitar, synth, bass, drums from Boss microBR.
This was a labour of love. I have loved this song, and this version (Elvis) as long as I can remember…
A day at the beach and a moment of seeing past the trappings of the physical world into what's really important. This song is doing double duty with another Rock-opera concept.
Lyrics: Fuzzface / Music, Vox: Dave Berry
Recorded on BR-1200;…
Improvisation is what I love, finding out about things (when there is a little time).
I also post the video where I have used it in. Hedgehogs were here last year in our garden, and now they start coming back from hibernation. Uk, the hedgehog…
The vocals are hard tohear cause it was recorded badly...
I feel like getting drunk
I dont feel its gonna get better
I've tied my hands to my back and its done
Nobodys in the mood for summer
I think the ghosts have come home
Done it before…

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!
Poor Reg! Feel better soon! Well you certainly captured the atmosphere!
Whoah, rock it boys!! Great vox Reg. Just listen to the guitar, Wow! Ha! Sooo cool!
Nice one really cool.
It's stuck in my head. I can listen all day. Again!
Oh Yea! Crank it up!!
brilliant melancholic track
This is fun!
pure wicked!!
Awesome!!
finally I get to hear this - oh this is so weird - Elvis does Beatles! I like the arrangement.
