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.

This one was tricky to do because the piano does not play at a fixed tempo, and it was an online collaboration (like all my collaborations).

Can i get a little whisky in this water said John
The day the world stopped being fair
I didnt know what to say so I said yeah.
I poured a double whisky and I placed it in his hand
And said friend, only true friends understand
He said friend…
It aint like no ones done this before
But how can you tire of beautiful chords
In the fifties
In Tenessee
Where my love
was born
Two young men upped and
crossed the yard
both cold cos it was rainin hard.
One of them turned said…
