The story cracked me up. Your fretless guitar would be perfect for slide guitar, i'm learning slide some now , easy to do basic style but hard to be great at it as are all things.
Great vocal on this tune,i'm impressed.

Here it is baby: This is your best vocal work ever... not nearly as sexy as the sister's rendition (and I love the shock value of a girl singing this one – I really hope that gem gets posted too) but your enthusiasm is infectious and it brings me joy to hear you torturing your fretless guitar. Was that a bit of a laugh I heard at one point? Well, it works for you. Call me country…
Trap set? We don’t need no stinking trap sets. Tambourine, cajón and cymbals.

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…

my goodness - you've been pouring out music and stories - I can't keep up - I surrender the title of the most prolific composer ever to Reg :-)
Man - how did you get the Louis Armstrong voice - oh wow.....
And the rock opera people are right - think Rocky Horror Picture Show - if you could get together a script and a vision and sell it you could be set for life. There is no question about you having the talent to pull it off.

Funny, when I was going through divorce I ended up in a support group - and there was a late 50-ish ex-cop who showed up one day who complained about this young woman who talked him out of entire retirement savings for drugs. (You'd think he'd know better....) Trying to remember her name.... did it start with a D??? I was glad when he left - he apparently got tired of us when he found out we could barely make rent for the room in the church we met at Friday night....

Gritty, raw, cool Tramp tribute. I think the fretless guitar is excellent. perc matches the raw feel.
There's certainly a kernel of something really good here. I'll stay tuned!

Badass, yawl. I can attest BG is microtonal having seen him, his strings bends are often slightly sharp, an amazing gtrist when he wants to be.
I'm digging this raw riff, actually the whole piece is raw...nice!
Nice tune, sounds like Jimmy Page material

Everything I like. Distorted guitars, solid bass line, serious percussion, Hardly a train wreck Sir. It rocks.
Perfect ending!!
Damn, you parked this one right in between the flats and sharps. There's a lot to listen to.
If I lived closer to you, I would drag a couple conga drums along and join you at the retirement facility! Very honorable!
I love that you take the time to entertain people who may not otherwise get the opportunity. And a fine performance too!
Recorded great for live , well done.
The residents are really lucky to have your dad with them - look at the perks they get.
nice sound, nice improvisation! thank you Vaisvil
What a nice thing for you to do. Well done!
I like the subtle progression- almost a rick wakeman feel near the second part. I like the simple ending too.
wow, strings really fill up the room. Great sound !
Clavinova is a cool instrument w/top sound and keyb quality. I have one :-)
Talented you are, nice progression.
Comments made by vaisvil
Thanks for doing this!!
hehe! excellent!
sounds like early Who - excellent!!
or the seventh son of a seventh son! My bass is looking at me :-)
I'm hating it too. Its just an infection I think. Nothing personal ;-)
great track - and yet another side to your voice.
this is a great idea well executed!
very beautiful!
powerful!
thanks for all of the listens and comments Richard. This is beautiful - love the choral writing.
nice!
wow - you woke the dead with this! Excellent tone!
wow - excellent!
and - poor Japan.
nicely done
I like the toucans - is this the microkorg? nice space - I feel like a tropical excursion.
