Reg has seriously got the blues and can't seem to leave the empty bar, there is just him and Elvis in there. The strange thing is that the tables and chairs are there, the bar and the stools but there is no booze behind the bar just empty glasses…
~immersed~
They all said: Do not go in blues so deep, don't. I did not listen and slid down, down. It was cool, was cool, then cold. And who remembers me now as someone who trudged from the sounds of Led Zep, eh?
Regs therapy is going well. Reg remembers some stories his Uncle Sam told him as a young man. Reg hasn't had a drink for a month now and his head is starting to clear.He has decided to visit Uncle Sam as it has been quite a few years and hopefully…
G-damn Reg boys, ( and by that I don't mean to be insulting to your sense of awe at the universe, however you choose to express it). you tinkling there, is that a Reg set of fingers laying onto a keyboard, fantastic playing man. The bass is right on. You need the gruff vocals to go with this one, to finish it off. I need to spend more time with my piano to be able to tickle like this. Fantastic song Reg-times-two.
~too heavy a burden~
... he'll never wake up, nor to fly off. He calls it the "blues-soul-comes-out". He still remains with us, the poor sinners. We, however, only do not know: to rejoice over it, or what? Yeah-h...
~that's true, baby, true~

you're just a genius that's all there is to it. a mad professor who keeps forgetting to put his trousers on before leaving the house type of genius, but a genius all the same. love the vocal, and the sentiment of said vocal n all. the switching back and fore with the spoken part is perfect, story's told excellently, great jackanory voice. easily a favourite
Its not playing, damn, I really need to hear this right now...... I had a favorite uncle too, I need to know what the therapy revealed........must be my damn computer...............I'll be back......this may b the key to it all..................You Reg's are like therapy, your music...it gets the heart to the matter......you guys keep it real.
Reg has been with the new women in his life now for a while.She has noticed that Reg has an air of sadness around him.She wants to get to the bottom of it.She starts to ask him why? all the time. Reg wants to keep his secrets of his past to himself…
Nice atmosphere on this one! :) To answer your question on the megaphone effect -- I'm using a Boss VE-20 vocal effects unit. Pretty cool, you plug it into a mic like you would a guitar pedal and use it in much the same way.
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.

Reworked the vocals a bit (quite a bit). And yet again! And now, Gumbo Stu is singing backup bits. Thanks for the vocals Gumbo, a very welcome addition!

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.

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…

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.
