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…
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…

Poor old Reg everything was going swimmingly until he fell of the wagon, 6 weeks dissapeared and guess what his wife didn't understand and he's out on his ear again, he's got no one to blame but himself but he's gone a bit weird this time…
How are you friend?? I need to get on AT more often. dont know if its covid or what, but many great peeps and tunes of late. Makes me happy. I like the ambiance change at 1:20
It's a cover of the Electric Light Orchestra song from the 70's, done for the Songcrafters.org 70's-fest.
At the risk of undermining my image as original 70's I-was-there punk, I was actually quite into ELO back in the day.
January challenge songwriting fun...
WATER UNDER WATER
So near the surface
So near the end
So near the purpose
Time and again
Just barely breathing

I’m floating in the water under water
Holding on loosely

Another Blacksmith Lesson, this time with intro musics! This episode explains how to build a coal forge out of a plastic bucket and some cat litter.
All of the written lessons, along with pictures to illustrate some of the lessons, can be found…
Another quick scratch take, had to edit out a weird little noise from when the keyboard fell onto the guitar, but otherwise one take, render and upload. This will probably undergo a whole lot of revision to get a more usable center section and…
Yep, another slap dash scratch track, same as the last few... one take, no practice, no edits and no damn idea what I was going to play before hitting record. Still craptastic keyboard drums too!
Who to believe? relatives, who drop out over time? loved ones, that dissolve in the night? yourself one, without being sure of anything? to a stranger who disappears at the same moment? Perhaps the question itself is not correct.
Just right for this time of the morning......ahhhh children you've gotta love them even at 4 in the morning .....I do believe your playing is relaxing him and me ....thank you ....I'm now going to disappear ......

There were these two sisters, both gorgeous and super intelligent. One of them mentioned the book "Lost Horizon" by James Hinton. It was their favorite book. So I read it. And it was really strange and interesting. So I wrote a song about the…
There are some ways of making a living in which, even though the work may be moral, you profit off of others suffering. A brief brush with that was the inspiration for this tune. A lot of musical weirdness (cook pot percussion, playing a standard…
How long we've been waiting for this storm to end
Said we might go
Where the winds they do blow
Full steam ahead the blind captain said
Might take some time now
We might windup dead
Just bury those bones along that 2 note transfer…
Comments on thetworegs's stuff
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 ....

Love a 12 string , reminds me of good ole Ronnie Lane , bless him, good stuff ....

Boy that sounds warm and sultry! Love it. Great song too!!!
