I had missed this one when it was first put up by Chris Vaisvil and Norm (Still waiting) i heard it today for the first time and it struck a chord so i asked Chris if i could add some words and being the generous man he is, he said yes. So i set…
about Winter Nacht
each year for the past 4 RPM cycles,, i have known a friend or loved one who has passed away... throughout history winter has been a time when sickness and death creep a little stronger amongst us..... perhaps because of these…
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…

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.

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..........

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…

(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…

Agree with regs...awesome guitar layers.
That a really cool sound chris!
My word, that has Indian flavours and a tad bizarre!
Ha, as soon as I saw it, I knew that photo!
Yes, that is a lovely picture... great light.
What's that then? Ethyl Chloride? Guitar sounds good, tad loud though, I have my volume on 40% The icy tinkling's nice!
It's very dramatic Chris! I couldn't get the "More" to come up but the photo is lovely, gentle, quiet, floaty ....
The build is excellent..... layers..... forming... frozen.....excellent
Wow, as big and bold as the night sky..! Stunning feelings here.
Extraordinary trippage!! Tess S
Nice! Digging this guitar solo!
Yes, Heavenly! This is wonderful. Such atmosphere! WoW!
I like the Roman Legions advancing bit. Brushes hair back, yeah, stirring! Nice isn't fair, it's super.
Golly, I bet they enjoyed that! Oh, thought you were going to burst into, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" then.
That was really interesting! It hit home! Zonk!
Good title. Eerie with mist and no shadows, not quite be able to see through.
Very nice Chris. Great piece, and having a great guitarist preform it is really killer. Bad ass man, bad ass.
Congrats Chris! It is very gratifying to have such a talented guitarist select your composition for his performance!
Very nice composition.

you certainly did this one justice - lovely!
exquisite! The choral entrance is set up extremely well.
cool cover!!
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.
and I 2nd what Norm said - you have an amazing tonal control over your voice.
lovely
this just excellent - the production has great clarity too!
this is an excellent collaboration!
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.
