Keep your mouth shut and/or eyes wide open

Everything you’ve ever believed…
Well Reg is struggling can he find that belief in himself or not…….
Belief
Sat at the bar wishing again on a dream
Head floating into space
I got my eyes closed to the scene
Cause I know I sit here in disgrace
Another drink another whiskey…
I was watching the breeze in the trees and it got me to thinking ........
Winter
I look into the trees and I see that the breeze is blowing and I’m beginning to freeze
Cause the wintertime is coming cause the leaves have started blowing…

The perfect lyrics to capture my feelings about the coming winter here in Minnesota too... the 6" of snow we got last week made it all the more real! great song!!!
Well Reg was watching the news and he couldn't believe a word that our great prime minister was saying ....He believes that Boris is actually working against us rather that with us in our battle against the Covid. Reg lives in the North of England…
A dark one for you ......Reg was reading the paper and the story of a cold case, about a murder of a Prostitute Wendy Robinson finally being solved after 22 years, her family had almost given up hope of ever catching the perpertrator got him to…

A sad blues with the HB 12string and a broken hearted Reg Maybellene has left him and he's hurting ....Hurting bad... Fall of the wagon bad !..... Thanks for listening

Another collab with Paul Chapman (Chaperzee) from the other side .....
Nothing here
Is this all you had to say
When you talked to me today
I can’t see the games you play
Is it that you with your minds astray
I stand here in dismay…
Someday there will come a time when there will be no Monday. And there will be no need to remember about work or to follow the schedules. For some, it is temporary, for someone forever.

Robert Frost - On Looking Up…
Lebenslinie (Life Line)
Life, if you look back at your own one, or at the stories of others, often seems to be presented as an ornate line. This line is trying to branch out, but since a person is indivisible, that lifeline is always one, but…
Unless of course your life is out of control and the path spirals ending the center of the island after circling for the same answer again and again and never finding it
I write letters, but I don't send them and they go unanswered. I take them out and rewrite them, picking up the words and clarifying the meanings. I wait in hope that a reply will come someday.
I continue the conversation when it's long over…
Since you’ve gone
It’s all gone south
The dunces took over
Stupidity rules
They open their mouth
To prove they’re fools
You didn’t believe in god
And made me wonder how
If there was one
How could he allow
What evil has been done…
A Christmas song about what really matters.........i got the idea for the music listening to Jarvis and his accordian the other evening so thanks J........

(Remastered 22/10/2021)
I've been missing in action for ages - apologies to all, I'm about to start listening again too.
For ages, I'd been considering a move away from my trusty Boss BR1600 on which I've recorded and mixed nearly everything…
Another earworm needing to be expressed - comes to my head when looking at the moon from my garden. I'd love some lyrics - "oh beautiful moon, dah de da da dah" etc but haven't landed on any yet. Its also a bit Taize like, except totally pagan.
When you C reach the Em point
When it’s F all in the rear view C mirror
And Am reflection is your G only point of C view G
You C feel it Em inside
When it F becomes so C clear
There’s Am nothing that G you can C do
F Hold on to G memories…
Particularly following a very recent piece, Nordic Noir, I may have slipped into movie/TV/Game trailer mode!!! So here is a piece featuring solo violin that has been titled An Awakening...and listeners can then put their own imagination to work…
After several bottles of wine, thetworegs and I were able to coerce Elvis and a few others down in regs basement to come out for a long overdue collab. After all, isn't October collab month?
Thanks again for the great vox!!
Hey Norm there was a knock on the door late last night and guess who was standing there all sultry and pouty .... yes .... you know who! .... it was her wanting in ..... I looked her in the eye and told her to go .... as she turned to leave I noticed her dress was so short I could see her stocking tops ...... I called her name .... Desirea she turned and smiled.........
This is a recording of Norm and me playing together a few months ago. I didnt have any percussion instruments so Norm was on a Roland electric trap set and I had a cello. I looped some of the stuff we did that night, and retrofitted the rest…
The music reminds me of a scene from the streets of San Francisco then Karl Malden’s nose comes into my mind and my mind suddenly goes over the hills and far away ...I like it.
So the lyrics come from another age, but they sounded so relevant to the recent lockdown world, that I decided to stitch them into a completely different track.
So, there ya go!
Comments on thetworegs's stuff
