Reg has been watching the news again and it doesn't look good.......
No one knows who set the tommahawks free
Man says attack the devil don’t ask why
Just sends his angels falling from the sky
Scorching the earth burning…
Reg just loves watching old films and the one he watched last broke his heart and it was all based non a lie ....
That Poor Mockingbird
they killed the mockingbird
That jury of twelve
they took away the truth to that…
This one is gripping. The echo tail sounds amazing on your vocal as well. And I'm not sure you left the few seconds of silence at the end on purpose, but it fits.

Another for the RPM Reg got to thinking again ......
Shes a shaker
She’s a movie star
Blue eyes black skin like coal tar
Shes a vision on the big screen
She is everybodys movie queen
Made up on a keyboard
Chalked out on a blackboard…
Another for the RPM Challenge ...Reg woke up feeling a little pessimistic and started to ask himself the big question...
What does it all mean
The preacher spent his life building churches out of stone
Making money to…
Sometimes Reg gets a little TOO pessimistic to leave me feeling comfortable... but I love where here was going on this one. Hopefully someone bought him a beer or a bar of chocolate after this one.
Sometimes songwriting is easy sometimes its just all noise…..

Reg has lost Rita and its threw him so hard he fell of the wagon ....
Rita
I’m feel completly unknown
I don’t know myself no more
The vision of myself is confusing
I don’t know who I am any more
I’ve been shook…
Has Reg found the one ?...
Something special
You got that something
Your eyes, they say it all
I can see theres something special about you
I know its true
Theres something special about you
All though we’ve only just met…

Three little words
She said
I love you
but she lied to me
She told me I was hers
till the end
Those three little words made me lose my way…

Rain
Seeing the Sunrise in the morning
Then life wouldn’t be too bad

A major thing, This began as I sat down to lunch and did some musing about my old wind-up gramophone, as food poisoning set in I spent the rest of the day lying in bed thinking of lyrics, getting up to type them in, throwing up, and going back…
Ok, Who HASN'T had the fantasy about the hot librarian?
This was originally intended to be sung by a friend of mine with a much higher range, but a massive earthquake disrupted the schedule. I wound up singing it down an octave, trying to do…
This was originally a much longer gospel style song about meeting the devil at the crossroads and selling him my car, I got discouraged when I put down the scratch vocals and realised that no ammount of overdubs could possibly make me sound like…
I think this is my fav so far....Great sounds on this album... great vocals too ...will have to listen to the rest later...wow!! a great collection.... sounds like you were one of the lucky ones ...that's a hell of a thing to live through...well done for getting it done
A cover of Justin Currie's Sleep Instead of Teardrops. Recorded 2010.
It has always been one of my favourite Del Amitri songs. I was strumming away at it one day and my missus said I should record it...
i didn't think that this had uploaded last night so it was a nice surprise to see the four lovely comments :) thank you...
its hard to describe what this is about...a very personal moment...sometimes it replays in my memories...
Nice for a Sunday morning eating toast, looking out the window at the day, contemplating Mmmmmmm ....what shall i do with my day...........whats that..... somethings coming........watch out......watch out.....ah! it was only passing... arrr nice and calm again now where was i.......
Aw, we tried to make this a bit more pro, but sometimes the really fun moments in life are fleeting. So here it is warts and all. But don't mind that - just get out onto the dance floor with Reg! It's ok: he's up to date on his shots.
When…
Another Apple Garage Band session. I thought this had a little bit of a Joe Satriani feel to it so called it Satcheroni. :)
I'm nowhere near the level of the guy, but he is an influence.
Just me plugged in to the laptop again, using the Garageband…
This is a band I was in for almost 9 years. We were called 3 Ton Jack. Played mostly around the Council Bluffs, IA - Omaha, Ne areas.
Singer: James Johnston
Guitars/backing vocals: Me
Guitars: J.C. Leach
Bass: John Schrader
Drums: Kevin Corum
A cover of Larry Wallis's fine ditty (it's always been one of my favourite Dr Feelgood songs).
This was my second recording with my Boss MBR, recorded early 2009. It confirmed for me that I was a "standalone recorder" kind of guy, and there was…
kind of a modern take on the Doors, Texas radio and the big beat....Sounds like a preacher trying to partition the lord with prayer..... you can not partition the lord with prayer... but it was good hearing what you have to say about the beat.... good one
Comments on thetworegs's stuff
Woah! Wasn't sure I had clicked on the right song until the vocal ripped in. Would much rather listen to this than watch the news. Good one.
This one is gripping. The echo tail sounds amazing on your vocal as well. And I'm not sure you left the few seconds of silence at the end on purpose, but it fits.
Great movie, great song.
Kicking it love to see it - wrinkled shit
Oh-oh, his poor wife..... :-] He does a nice job on this. Gonna be tough telling him he's not his alter ego :-
Cool tune and yes, the punk feel to this is great. Lyrics - spot on!
Ha! Well, this is a nice treat...and you reminded me of my dad, so extra kudos on that opening.
Another fine RPM! Mighty fine. Well done :)
Sometimes Reg gets a little TOO pessimistic to leave me feeling comfortable... but I love where here was going on this one. Hopefully someone bought him a beer or a bar of chocolate after this one.
Yep !👍
Loving the punk vibe
So sorry for your loss!!! The lyrics of this song are so very sad
Beautiful.
What an opening track to the album. Awesome.
Very intimate. Love your subtle effect on your vocals. Nice cover artwork too.
Sounds great Trev!👍
Cool. Kind of a Neil Young vibe going on. I like it :-] (maybe a little Bob Dylan on harp in there as well). :-]
Woo! Great pickin', bro.
I like the sound of this one....you have a real polished sound for this track.
Sitting in a hotel room on Reno by my lonesome watching the sun sink low over rush hour traffic. This is the perfect soundtrack.
