I loved this reading when I first heard Reg do it
and noticed your desire to add music.
Well, what you have produced here Chris is ideal and I love the way it is longer than the poem which
enhances the atmosphere.
A song of hope...
and i apologize for the "noise"...I'll try to figure it out.
here are the lyrics.
waiting in the dark
never hearing the words
waiting for the spark
to revive a dying heart
so you think it's your fault
a buried belief…
Reg has never really understood Love.......... not in last 20years since first hearing this song .........it's still all a Mystery to him................
I was listening to Andy Casson's song Old ladies over on Songcrafters and it got Reg thinking........... could this be the last song i ever hear................so Reg went down the cellar to write a one chord song using only the notes that make…
Bob and Reg got together tonight down the cellar and came up with this one dedicated to Desirea......Reg didn’t realise at the time but Desirea had got her hooks into Bob as well during her time down the cellar....but hey, all's well in love and…
a song about hoping for the best for all of us. the ending riff is about angst and disapointment and i use a flange on the ending lead guitar work. the closing of the song inspired me to make another song called locked door to my soul.
15.
performed by Ashley Reynolds
from the album "Sunny, sorta..."
and she opened her eyes
the frailness all gone
but she wasn’t surprised
it was fortold all along
and the healing complete
not a shell anymore
what a magical feat…
this song - purple mountains was iriginally a jam back in 75. chris vaisvil was the guitarist and i always remembered it cause i liked it. he had an echo-plex then and it was pretty psychedelic. no keys were originally in the song but it was a…
Elvis got philosophising in the cellar again last night.........................so Louie and Reg got Bluesy with him and this is what turned out of the session.........
DREAMER(Lyrics)
Well I asked the mirror if my dreams would come true…
You'll never guess who turned up last night but the old Baird himself ....Will....Him and Louie jumped up to do this one for the cellar crowd...........

Lovely composition Chris.
A fine display of a classic piece of art. Very creative gents.
Sounds like they dig 6/8 meter.
Well, yes, there is no right or wrong in music Chris, but taking somebody's noodles is plain wrong, I don't care how you look at it.
Way to bring the jam to the people! Nice improv!
Is this stretched? It reminds me of jelly fish too. (You crack me up Bee!)
Well oh my, and OF COURSE this would be spot on! Reg's spoken word is...alarmingly attractive in this one. Swoooon! Sandbags x (OK, no, this is Tess)
Stirring and bold tapestry! The mix is amazing! Tess S
Agree with Kavin- Great work!
Sounds well creepy. I like the feeling of the ebb and flow. Reminds me of jelly fish!
Great work yawl. Even rivals the great Vincent Price's recitation.
Dark and ominous......switch those lights on......
Very much enjoyed that.
I think you guys need to team up and go on tour.
Very trippy song! Also, thanks for your advice I am on both Last.fm and Thesixtyone, although I only made a profile on thesixtyone a week ago.
very nicely, spoken, and very nicely, enhanced,,
This is wonderful.
Love it Chris you've turned it into a silk purse from my Pigs ear........
Oh, I was reading it up. What a lot of uses it has. Your track sounds incredible through head phones. I enjoyed it very much.

the individual samples for propane are stretched (and filtered) but not the composition.
luscious - beautiful I had not heard you until this morning and I'm glad I found your music and spirit.
nice spooky keys at 1:45 ish - very 60's psychedelic feel
well done!
I really this version!!

I hear a lot of melodies in this one. All of the drums seem to speak to me. Even the clave. Perhaps I'm finally getting it?
This is were its at!! Groovy!!
Is there a connection with Desiree? Who is the real Desiree? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Succubus
