While Reg was travelling the country he met an old Indian gentleman called Abdul Aziz in a newsagents in the city of Bradford in the North of England while buying his morning paper. Reg struck up a conversation with the old man and they got on…
This is a song i always wanted to have a go at and it wasn't until Johnny let me have a go on his representation of it i got my chance. Thanks Johnny for letting me have a go, may you rest in peace............

Reg was positive that she was the one until he had chat with Norm who said "Be careful remember Desirea" Norm was only trying to help but it has put doubt in Reg's mind and now hes not sure what he wants...........................thought i'd do…
was waiting for, no boozin, "no carooooooozin" elongated part of the word to be sung. Maybe a re-recorded version? But I do like this how it is, which is good.
Reg was reading the paper today about the Spandex vigilante. Now Reg has got himself sorted becoming a superhero appeals to him. Ummmm about the suit i think it should be Blue to match my eyes with a large TTR motif of some sort on the chest in…
this is great! Your a song recording machine, not exactly a multi-tracker but a rock n roll multi-tasker of sorts. I've always wondered about the spandex wearing folk, where do they all come from kind of thing, if you know what i mean. lol

Reg has just had a moment he doesn't mean it, he was in the bar entertaining the leeches his fellow companions on his shadow of a life and he became depressed at his situation and struck out but he doesn't mean he would be lost without his companions…
Reg! You need to work on your intra-personal skills with the establishment's patrons if you want that piano tip jar to get filled up.
Damn that Disirea! She's gotten into your head and now it's messing you up.
The darkness has come to haunt Reg again.....
The Darkness comes again
Disbeliever what is your name
Your calling out from the dark again
I hear your words but there not what they say
in my mind there as clear as mud
The trodden…
Damn operatic Reg......this is very good. This is like something from a Rock-opera. How I wish I could tickle the ivories like this....I really need to spend some quality time with my piano.....but my damn guitars are always leering at me everytime I try........back to this excellent song........thats Prose man, a libretto....operatic. Some strings would sound deadly, cello maybe, string trio kind of sound..........maybe.

No more messing about for Reg, this is the one she has long black satin hair the body of an angel, her accent is pure English rose she stands by the bar talking to her friends, she turns Reg catches her eye and smiles a bolt of electricity zaps…

Thats what I was needing tonight boys.........sweet groove, unlike anything ever heard before, yet grooving so hard it hurts......Norm drumming is so insanely slinky and groove I damn near danced my underpants off here tonight .......too much info? OK.......moving on then.....to the black haired maiden......just the description alone is enough.....I am smitten.....if she is anything like this song then it is hopeless............hang on Reg....she will steal your damn soul.

Like a church hymn mixed with blues and a dash of showboat boogie. Lyrically it is very blues, I could hear this as a Otis Rush type song, yeah, I really dig it Reg.......s.

Another track done for "THE RPM CHALLENGE".
I like the favor of this one,it's really different from the stuff I'v done before. It's also the "bed" for another tune that will be up later.
"IN THE SKY".
Here is the solo dance version. It's rockin' pretty hard. I'm hoping to take this into a band setting at some point and get some brass involved, but for now...
New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…
Another song with Vili Ross. I wrote this one today......this morning and today was the first time I worked with Vili....and the two of us just get along, as persons and musically.

And, as requested, here are the lyrics:
I'm Not Afraid

Did this back in 2009.
Before me and Jim actually met each other...
The music was improvised to the notion of returning home from space.

Ilesa is a city located in the south west of Nigeria. This is a traditional rhythm pattern of the same name - but I'm not sure of the significance of the name.
I played on 3 congas, accented with bell clave, block and cowbell, of course…
04 – Machiavellian Ways. Written 5th Feb. Recorded 5th/9th Feb.
Mark Morriss has written some really witty triple rhymes in a slightly country fashion, and I wanted to try it too. Although I am not sure if I succeeded, I had fun - and got…
03 – Meteorites. Written 2nd/3rd Feb. Recorded 3rd Feb.
Inspired by the film ‘Stardust’ where our hero meets a (literal) fallen star. The painful low vocals were particularly fun, and their emotional cracking was acting rather than the fact…
02 – Falling Down Again. Written 17th/18th Feb. Recorded 17th/18th/19th Feb.
A slightly schizophrenic pop song, with a vocal section that also betrays me wanting to be a Beach Boy. Worryingly there is actually a red sticky trickle that seeps…
This is in some boring typical genre. I just can't figure out which one. Perhaps Wiccan dances for epileptics? Not sure.
