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.....

An Original Hojo Riff, soon to be a classic. Recorded on Pro Tools featuring a '67 Tele and an acoustic Larrivee. The drum track needs help, any suggestions?
This is a tune I picked up from alonetone a while back. Johnny did a piano version of "I'd Love to Change the World", and Michael Thomas from Cave Street added the outstanding vocals.
When Michael told me he was doing the vox on it, I wanted…
OK, now I don't know which song is Rotten Log. I think it's this one. This is one of my favorite and most memorable Prozac songs. Not a perfect rendition but que sera sera. I believe this is from a basement practice session too. I remember…
it's kinda like listening to records when i was a kid , when i thought the hiss was part of the sound to the record. not unitl the advent of the CD did i realise it wasn't. any way back to the music really like this great guitar playing and drums yeah!!!
Lyrics influenced by a conversation with a friend whose daughter was in a really bad way. Kind of set the mood for large parts of the challenge for me this year.

comin down from the fly shakimunis trajectory

questioning life death

america is a state of micro-managed fascism.
its many laws are the product of overpaid lawyer, judges, politicians, police, and pundits.
compulsory schooling streamlines personality traits,
departmentalized careers collapse cognition.

A club-mix of my first electronical production from last year. I tried out some VST-Effects I haven't used before. The name "Kater" is german and can be translated into "hangover" and "male cat", probably i had an hangover when I produced it :)
A good friend and percussionist Norm Harris contributed percussion to this track – A Cast of Billions - so I ripped out all of the midi percussion and used Norm’s percussion, added a track where I speak Evan’s poem and did some remastering…
Here's to Johnny!
Gifted composer. Talented musician. Supportive friend.

Thanks for all of the tasty tunes Johnny.
5/4 120bpm.
Sassy Nation version!
Sister Savage and Mr Sandbags collaborated on the original of this wonderful heartbreaker of a song. I've been playing it on the guitar the last few days and it always seemed to come out with a grittier tone, so i asked…
Had the blues in Alabama
Had the blues in Texas too
Had the blues all over
Now I 'm givin' em to you
And if you don't want em
You know what you can do
You wont find me I'm goin' ta run and hide away from you
Because I see trouble
Trouble…

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.
