Poor old Reg is off to rehab again ...maybe this time he'll learn
Tomorrow is another day
It was Wednesday in the car on the way to rehab
The family they were crying in the street goodbye
As the car pulled over a man in white

Piano & Vocal Thanks for listening ….
The owl and the Pussy cat
If I was a pussy cat
I’d sail of to sea
I’d try and find that place where I really want to be
I’d find a little island out there in the sea
I’d sit on my rock and watch…
Well this is rather fun! Feels sort of like... a nugget of song that a cat is playfully batting around? Or maybe that doesn't make any sense... Anyway, I like it! :-)

A first venture into open G tuning ....... Poor old Reg has been let down by a lot friends in his time and now he's down to just a few fingers on one hand .........So he thought he'd write a song about it ... Gibson acoustic tuned to open G recorded…
Oh yes, like this - very inventive. On the Steel... Hehe... I've used G for years and years and years for slide playing... and it's only recently I discovered that G is the secret to this guitar part (that I've loved for even longer!). I think I watched some Earls Court footage a couple of years back and the penny dropped.
Another collab with Paul Chapman (Chaperzee) from the other side .....
Nothing here
Is this all you had to say
When you talked to me today
I can’t see the games you play
Is it that you with your minds astray
I stand here in dismay…

WOW! I've missed quite a few songs over the last couple of weeks... got some catching up to do... I was wondering where to start, and a notification arrived for this... and it's just WOW! This is a stunner. It was an instant fave for me, and it didn't let up. Bravo.

The Old Man
the old man thought he was king of the hill
Till life made him feel nothing…
Heres one with the HB 12 string and Gibson SG and a bit of wizardry or clicking of presets and fiddling .....
Your my secret agent
Your my devil in disguise
You are the devils disciple
Sent to burn my eyes
Your something I keep secret…

This one was tricky to do because the piano does not play at a fixed tempo, and it was an online collaboration (like all my collaborations).
EDIT final version now posted and the page turning is gone but i left this intro as is in case anyone is reading the comments. Does anyone read the comments? or the intro?

Can i get a little whisky in this water said John
The day the world stopped being fair
I didnt know what to say so I said yeah.
I poured a double whisky and I placed it in his hand
And said friend, only true friends understand
He said friend…
It aint like no ones done this before
But how can you tire of beautiful chords

Good one Reg
Well this is rather fun! Feels sort of like... a nugget of song that a cat is playfully batting around? Or maybe that doesn't make any sense... Anyway, I like it! :-)
Oh yes. Like this a lot.
Act I or Act II ........
I feel there should be a stage show to follow .... Love it ....
Wow. Just wow.
Owl and pussycat. A perfect childhood memory. Love your vocals on this. It inspires me to go play my piano and do something good with it.
Just ticked the dial over to No. 11 .... that's better ..... Rockin' ...
Oh yes, like this - very inventive. On the Steel... Hehe... I've used G for years and years and years for slide playing... and it's only recently I discovered that G is the secret to this guitar part (that I've loved for even longer!). I think I watched some Earls Court footage a couple of years back and the penny dropped.
What a vocal! I was about to pause it and move on, thinking "fair enough, things to do, though..." and then the vocal kicked in. Woof!
Yeah. That's pretty cool.
Incredible lyrics and I really loved that keyboard sound... like a xylophone mixed in there. This should be in a movie soundtrack. Love it entirely!!!
WOW! I've missed quite a few songs over the last couple of weeks... got some catching up to do... I was wondering where to start, and a notification arrived for this... and it's just WOW! This is a stunner. It was an instant fave for me, and it didn't let up. Bravo.
My favorite tuning for the past couple years :)
I was doing a bit of pearl diving and found this from way back when
That’s really cool, my fav part was your forties . Oh and that chorus poetry
Love the lush feel of this with the strings and piano and the sexy timber of your vocals. Awesome lyrics as well. An instant fav.
That hit the spot ....

Yeah , Alex Harvey lives in all of us .... great track ....
