Spare a thought for those with nothing this Christmas..... Homeless with no family.........and no one to help.......
CHRISTMAS ALONE (Lyrics)
Nobody is listening no body knocking on my door
nobody is near me nobody wants me
i’m nobody’s…
I am alone, I am alone.
No one comes to me, I froze.
But I do not give up, I know:
I came here alone,
and I'll leave from here alone.
...and: only if alone
I'm destined to reach my peak.
Who am I?
The insecurity of criticism to the nowhere man ......... I didn't have time this evening to put any music to this so i've put an old instrumental (The Turkish Lout) to it.....hope you enjoy my little drama about that nowhere man....(Be Warned…

Poor old Reg is having yet another mid-life crisis he's trying to work through...ever been there..........

Why?
Oh' I am not so ready in my heart
But I will reach for closeness to the wind
Fear stops what we feel.
I feel i know you now.

Let's talk of all the things we need to say
No whispers will suffice in our abode
Only song of what we…
a mix done on 11 - 20 - 2012

going to possibly do another take on the vocals or add a backing track

I can't quite believe that I'm posting this, or that I've even recorded it. But I've played it like this sat on the sofa in the living room for many years, and I needed something to check out how to record a live "one vocal and one guitar" song…
THE OPENER OF DOORS
THAT SLOWLY EVENLY OPENING LORD
THAT MANY WILL GET SUCKED IN
THAT MANY WILL GET SHUT OUT
FROM GLOWING TO CHANTING OF WORDS
FROM JOUSTING AND THROWING OF SWORDS
DAYLIGHT INTO DARK A CARRIAGE MADE FROM A GOURD
IN THE FEW FLEETING…
This was an RPM track back in the day, and I've been playing it various ways to find a setting for it within the band repertoire. This doesn't sound much like our band would do it but it came out nicely, so i thought i'd share it.
For Elly Barnes
Thanks for the moment to think......
-My part of peace-
To think for a moment
Is the greatest of gift to me.
To think without fear
Better still....
My part of peace
Detracts in the least
From the good…
For UK people who liked the Testcard in the 70's. Youtube vid attached. Started as a project, sent to Lady Jane who did her magic. Ummed and Arrred about it, and eventually thought "just upload". Enjoy.
New original from me, hot off the old wotsit.
When it was half written yesterday, I was considering binning it as a throwaway exercise - I do that quite often. But I played the songwriting demo to someone else and, er, apparently I should finish…
Having more fun with Hendrix. I tried to stay true to the original as far as using no overdubs. Just one guitar, bass, drum and vocal track. Kind of used a mix approach and used a bit from the record and a bit from his live performance in Winterland…
Once upon a time there was a boy with tunnel vision hidden far beyond the castle walls of a lifelong prison. Captive to a secret that kept him there under lock and key. Imagine was his sanity.
Thirteen days before thirteen he broke a sacred vow…
I have always loved jazz and blues but never really had the chops to really play jazz. But I can feel it and I tried to create that feel with this tune using my sweet old 63 jazzmaster. This was also an experiment in doing a complete time change…
Waiting for something that would be: familiar feeling, isn't it? We look forward to when she comes back, look forward to when the morning comes; waiting to stop the rain (or when will finally rain...).
Life itself is a... waiting?

They were watching the world go by from the living room window when suddenly one drops behind the settee shortly followed by the other....one says to be other In a whisper ........"Theres someone at the door"......"you answer it "..."no you do it "...."no."...."well look out the window then"...."it's the Avon lady "...the Avon lady pressed the door bell ....and time stopped inside the house....was she heard by the two acid heads hiding behind the settee.........there was no answer .....she walked away......as they trembled
Jip1965 came round to kick my ass into gear and played a bit of rhythm i did the rest and then sent it off to the good Lady Jane to do her stuff and very nice stuff indeed! Cheers Me Lady!!! x

Love the Eastern feel in the music. Your spoken word delivery is right on as usual!
nice work
I love that music. It sounds sort of Chinese, and that's fab in my book. Perfect delivery as usual Regs!
Ah, the vocal that goes with it. Wonderful lyrics as well.
Wow! A real cry from the heart!
Very sad and even more so because it's true. An excellent song.
Oh I see, this is the same one with vox. A sorry tale but ..... Very well done Reg.
Oh, I like it! What a lovely melody.
You certainly gave it the Reg treatment. Good one!
Very clever...harrowing lyrics against a beautiful Christmassy backdrop...thought-provoking.
Thanks for making this happen!
Beautiful! Lovely build up of warm festive layers!
Such a stirring melody, sung with conviction, Regs!
Shades of Meat Loaf in the vocal ...which is fine by me.....good oh Jarvo
ELP like version of Jerusalem...........with a bucolic vocal ...sounds like "angry of the Cotswolds"....and guess what ...I like it !! Encore Jarvo
fun,fun,fun......the banjiano is cool too ! Jarvo
always best to be up front and say what you think.... Good tune ,good tune.... Jarvo
its so sad when people are two faced - great tune
Is there no end to your talent? Great production. Love it
