My friend Frank Miller did a drum improvisation track at my request - and I then improvised lyrics, vocal, and guitar with a bit of touch up. This was the first track we did together since 1979.
i never want to see Desirea again.....she's hurt me for the last time....thanks Chris & Norm for getting her out of my system once and for all..............
I hijacked Norbert Oldani's excellent piano improvisation and add some guitar to it.
His original is here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5150711/PianoI911.mp3
Killer Chris. It should be played on a rooftop, really loud into the streets below. Kind of like the solo in "the crow"...just not as cheesy ...and in 19 edo ;)
I salivated over this $3,500 guitar last night. I had the "expensive guitar room" at Guitar Center to myself so I played and recorded on my zoom H2. Yes, this is guitar p0rn...

Norm set me these drums for Dancing on my own a while back but Reg went and dumped the file so we couldn't use them. So i'm using them now, while Reg gets Gone.........Thanks Norm
Chris sent this track to me earlier today with the request that I add some percussion to it.
I had something different in mind.
After the first take I was afraid to return it to him, fearing that he would convert it to 23 edo or something…
I heard this as I let the IF playlist roll doing other things - this is really great! I love the very classic slide sound you have here and the piece is very bluesy cool.
Reg has this recurring dream of his fantasy women but she is always out of reach...........Thanks to Tess for letting me play with her tune.

ohhh I didn't see you had uploaded this! To answer your question - it was a Yamaha - can't remember the model - it had 3 pedals - I agree about the low end but the high end was really weak in my opinion.
Added a little more to this nice little change of strumming patterns played as an excuse to write a little love song.
I FOUND LOVE
You know I love you more than I
Ever thought one simple man could
You know I need you more than I
Ever…

finally got to hear this. there is a distinct didgeridoo sound to it, especially when you start. I wonder what would happened if you bowed the string. - and - how did you pull the wire out of a tire - I want to do that.
Lyrics:

I hate you when you breathe. Could you stop?
Waking up is hard to do when sleep never comes
But your ugly faces woke me up...
Callous sycophants
I know you too well to rest again
I'll stay up forever. I'll be ready
I've seen…

Storming vocals - hitting some awesome notes there, Chris!!
Great collab dudes excellent work.
magic sounds like its got some cream in it too, magic vox reggies and loving those beats
Ya nailed it , great tune.
hold me up with a cane
Uh, Reg, we have heard this before from you. I hope for your sake that you have finally learned your lesson.
Reg has some of the best advise regarding "hate" that I have heard for awhile. Don't be a hater!
i never want to see Desirea again.....she's hurt me for the last time....thanks Chris & Norm for getting her out of my system once and for all..............
Pure escapism! Very wonderful, gentlemen!
Wow guys, that was great!
How have you done those Drums Chris ?
I think I know those girls :)
Conjures up fabulous images, and reminds me of my student days. :)
An original enjoyed the contrast between the instruments and both well played.....bravo
Oh dear, what a sorry sight! The very bassy notes at the end are emotive, they are like hopelessness.
Killer Chris. It should be played on a rooftop, really loud into the streets below. Kind of like the solo in "the crow"...just not as cheesy ...and in 19 edo ;)
sweet guitar, sounds like it was tuned in G.
**Don't pull the frets off of this one, Chris!**
Very original. :) And yes, great playing.
19 edo sounds very melodious to me. Nice work!

rockin' Reg and Norm - nice collaboration. Good combination if instruments.
loving the harp. this was a good choice!
I heard this as I let the IF playlist roll doing other things - this is really great! I love the very classic slide sound you have here and the piece is very bluesy cool.
Nice work - a good combination.
wow! this harp work sounds great!!! Unfortunately the guitar pictured isn't the one in the recording (we'll get to that tomorrow)
You made it into a classical piece - I love that. Great work Richard!
ohhh I didn't see you had uploaded this! To answer your question - it was a Yamaha - can't remember the model - it had 3 pedals - I agree about the low end but the high end was really weak in my opinion.
the scope of this is totally impressive
one of my favorite songs - done really well!
Beautiful Richard!!
this is an excellent song!
finally got to hear this. there is a distinct didgeridoo sound to it, especially when you start. I wonder what would happened if you bowed the string. - and - how did you pull the wire out of a tire - I want to do that.
This is cool! You made the google guitar sound like its going through a *huge* stack.
wow. very powerful words and music.
this is excellent - and unique!
lovely Richard! Sounds light music for a candle light dinner.
thank you for the listen and comment on my seagull improv.
Reg - he did do something like that one day - and yes it was great!
and the excellence of the music should be overlooked too.
Reg - you are one heck of a story teller! Have you considered writing a novel or short story?
