My heart is true
My heart is meant for you
I've been crying
Trying

standing in the cornfield you watch the corn grow and
the searing hot days pass on to night to day to night to day,
taller and taller, until you are one with all there is...
for you are one of them...
your roots dig soil,
your stalk stretches…

Fallen Arkansas Blackbirds is inspired by the 2011 New Year's Eve report of thousands of blackbird dead and dying in Beebe Arkansas. Some apparently dead upon impact others dying a bit slower as they tried to walk away. This is the sad scene…

At a recent charity event held in my small town's train museum, I was admiring a massive brass train bell when the curator walked up to me. I commented that a bell would really rather be heard then seen, and he agreed. I offered to digitally record…
A 7/8 improvisation on a set of 3 Bata drums, accented with afucha, tube shekere and cowbell.
The number 7 is a symbol for perfection or completeness: 7 colors in a rainbow, 7 musical notes in a scale, 7 days = a week, etc.
In Cuba, the…
This spooky track utilizes the "Paulstretch" program to stretch recordings of gongs, chimes and bells to 8.04 times their native length: no other effects were made to these acoustic recordings other than to stretch them. The gongs utilized are…
Reg has been over to Songcrafters.org on the other side and found this little beauty a piece of music by Willi Wendon and he loved it so much he's put a vocal to it. Hope you like it Willie..........
IT'S A CRAZY WORLD

Elvis has been around Reg too long and he has started drinking to forget his new lady.........

Reg's little homage to Elizabeth Taylor who passed away today, the piano is a little dodgy and the lyrics and the singing in parts as i'm following my dodgy playing, it will have to be revisited but i thought i'd share anyway as i would forget…

A single track of improvised chromatically tuned congas in 7/8, accented with clave, guiro, cajon and quinto.
(For those who may be interested in collaborating on this, the triplet phrasing of this groove may be most easily counted like this…
Reg threw Norms 7th son in the Cellar tonight and it wasn't long before young Johny Cash had jumped all over it.................
Daddy didn’t love his 7th son
I was born when the storm really started rising
When the ships crashed the rocks…
Reg took a collaboration from Chris Vaisvil, Norm and threw it into the cellar last night and this is what was returned through Regs door this morning...... a tale from the old wild west.........................
Poor old Reg he cant figure it out!! ........ since he's been listening to his self help tapes to stop drinking he has never got any money and he just doesn't understand it, he keeps working coming home relaxing to the tape........... then when…
This traditional Cuban rhythm is the well established "go-to" pattern for 4/4 songs. It is perhaps the most commonly heard conga pattern in 4/4 music. The bongo pattern that accompanies the congas is referred to as "martillo" (the hammer…
Norm played the percussion first, which is a Bembe pattern; I couldnt help playing a melody and creating lyrics for this perc track. Thanks for the listen, Enjoy!
With all the highs in Regs life, it had to equal out and Reg has dropped like a stone ........he's broken.........he's had a breakdown.....Well let's face it. It had to happen he was just pushing himself too much. Hopefully he can carry on the…

this is what I'm talk about!! Rocking! So did your hands hurt hitting the metal?
nice work Richard!
Norm I really like it! Is there anyway I could you into sending me the TUBS for the main beat? I want to plagiarize it for a marimba part.
awesome! You are unleashing your inner Sonny Landreth!
whoa! The gong sounds HUGE!
excellent work - sad, sad blues.
wow you nail Elvis so well.

this is an excellent collaboration!
Thanks for doing this!!
