..poor old Reg - ever trying to make his way across the river of love by hopping from stone to stone; only to find his footing failing on wet moss and his subsequent fall into the icy waters of loneliness and depression. Poor old Reg.

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).

Finally going to end this RPM with a slop fest.
Pretty disgusted with my efforts. I did have some fun though.
I feel like I just gave birth to a full set of Ludwigs.
High gloss black of course.
Still reminds me of a 70's tv show but all i can say is it would have had to have be good one ... i would have watched it whatever just for the theme music...excellent....
Comments on thetworegs's stuff
So that is writing technique, very similar to Paul Simo's technique. Like all these acoustic tunes lately.
I heard this earlier as part of the album. This is a magical track.
This is a monstrously good vocal.
Aww... fantastic. Have a "virtual" fave :-)
Nice one. Swampy. Fave button still going "There was a problem with that request" unfortunately...
Just listened to the whole thing... Masterpiece (the missus likes it too)
Grizzly vocal. The horns fit perfect.
fabulous trevor
Damn , the faved button is busted Trevor. Ok, 5 stars
She said she loved me ,but she lied.
Great song, well done.
Faved instantly.

Honest song, tastefully done.
