Another RPM
Reg is looking back on his childhood.
Mama says i can't play with you no more
I don’t know how I’m gonna tell you
But mama says I can’t play with you no more
Your not like all the other boys
I can’t play with you no…
It all started with a tinkle on the ivories
Blue eyed boy
some say you’ve got it
The gift of the gab
The harmonious Tounge
That can sing a love song
With all the good intentions gone
Somewhere some blue eyed boy weeps all…
Another RPM
Reg has turned matchmaker he's better at that than being a partner himself
Love makes their world roll
I had a friend who told me, he wasn’t the man he should have been
He’d got tangled in his mind and…
Possibly the last one for this years RPM
The Only thing I feel
The wind blew against the window and brought the morning I
Sunlight hit the curtain and I’m sure it trying to break on through
My senses woke to the smell of tobbaco…
Another RPM
Reg is just turning himself inside out
Inside out
Everything seems inside out
My guess is thats what its all about
No body knows, how I feel
Everythings hidden, no one, has a clue
No one knows how I…
Another Rpm Reg is still sad ......
A sad song
I’m going to sing you a song
It won’t take long
The story is sad
But the story isn’t long
I’ll begin the song
About a woman who’s dead
Died in her sleep
alone in her bed…

Rachel & I went to see the new Bob Dylan movie "The complete unknown" last night of which I throughly enjoyed although Bob did come across as a bit of an arse at times. But anyway I was having a strum and thought I'd try and write a song in…
Another for the RPM
Reg starts to thinking about things...
Why did God give us thought?
Everyones afraid of the darkness
close your eyes you dissapear
Suddenly you are nothing but a voice
Syllables of sound a constant…
Another RPM
Reg starts to worry that he's forgetting his loved ones that have passed
Your memory fades
I can’t see your face no more in my mind
With my eyes closed your image starts to fade
I forgot your vioce how it…
Reg reckons he's found the essence of his problems if only he found that little bit of love earlier in life it would have all been different...... or would it ?
Little bit of love
I’ve been lost in this maze we call life

On a moonlight drive with the midnight sun

The Answer

Smoke from the burial fire will putyour soul at ease
The winds of change, the winds of…

Reg as gone introspective ..... too long looking in the mirror this morning while shaving and he started thinking not a good thing to do first thing in the morning....Thinking...i mean the sun wasn't even up!
It all started with a strum…
Have you ever had the Tuesday feeling? Reg has....
Tuesday feeling
The reflection staines the window not realising it’s already dead
it doesn’t understand why the thoughts it has are not in in itshead
it’s been…

I downloaded the spitfire discover app its free and a lot of fun try it out here https://www.spitfireaudio.com/bbc-symphony-orchestra-discover and now Reg has become an Apprentice composer/conductor
A song about loss and the change it brings in a family; this was actually a live edition recording and I think it has something that the polished version does not. Enjoy!
An old song, written when I was in my REM phase; strange, it didn't seem to turn out anything like that in the end. This was also a live take where inexplicably, I changed the whole feel of the song this is the only version with this feel - enjoy…
My take on Gumbo's Keep Your Eye On The Spot, one of many excellent tracks from his RPM2011 album 'Cat's Moustache'. It's something of a departure from the original, though I was trying to retain an element of the gospel so hopefully its soul…

this is one for the over fifties
we strolled along
lost avenues
with no regrets
and nonchalance
who's kidding who
so confident
so bold and full
of bravado
when we were young
we knew it all
with certainty
you couldn't tell
cos we couldn't hear…
she will smother you with all her love
take you by the hand and drown you with passion
she could lead the blind astray
and break the will of stronger men than me
she will take your heart
she will take your soul
gently to her you surrender
yielding…

Excellent norm you really can get a beat out of anything ......we used to play bows and arrows with our Berinbau we just had a bit of string instead of wire and the wood was. Bit of elder kept us occupied for hours in the spiny wood and the only sound we made from it was the loud Fadunk when we let the reed arrows fly at one ofd the cowboys.....
This is a composition that was realized by playing a Fender Mustang which has a divided pickup connected to a Roland GR-20 guitar to midi converter / synthesizer. The GR-20 generated piano and saxophone sounds (in two passes) which were re-tuned…
The island of Cuba was a Spanish possession for almost 400 years (1511-1898). The land-owning elite held social and economic power, supported by slaves, both indigenous and of South American and African descent, until slavery was abolished…
Comments on thetworegs's stuff
Woah... I get the reference/influence... but this takes the idea a whole different place for me. Shivers down the back of my neck (and some memories)

I've just been trying to explain Reg to Mrs R... decided I can't do it as well as he does himself.
A truly happy ending!!

It's good to hear old Reg again. I was gonna say "will he ever be happy?" ... and then I read the blurb lol
