Cool jam out! Like the drums as well, but your guitar and vox sound nice to Chris.

Ya nailed it , great tune.

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

Beautiful!!Great work here!

my dad at one time helped with a radio show - if I remember correctly Tilden High School in Chicago had a radio transmitter. This would have come from there. My son traced this back to about 1923. My father tended to bring things home from where he worked, etc. He even brought home, as far as I could tell, the entire Data General railroad traffic controlling computer - vintage early 70's - the programs were loaded via punched paper tapes - when it got replaced. And no, it wasn't used on this piece. Ben has it. But at 1000 Hz he should be able to get it work if he feeds it the right kind of electricity.

I love the floating feel this has.

also - you have an astounding memory!

Ha - this riff is mine? I sure don't remember it - now I feel embarrassed about my comment :-)

excellent! I love the opening guitar riff and cool ending!

Nailed Tom's voice!

Very Tom Waits - love it!

wow your voice sounds so like the Kinks!

love your voice here!

May I invite you to participate at ImprovFriday? You may have some fun! http://improvfriday.com/

I found my answer "These pieces are recorded live in my home studio. They are made with an electric guitar played through a laptop and a dedicated hardware looper."

What do you have in your ambient rig? I am enjoying your work!

Hi Bethan - I have no idea who played it - but they did an excellent job. The midi file I found somewhere in the 90's.

wow - another side totally! I like the string / piano combination.

Thank you for the comments on Sympathy for a Friend. I didn't use a synthesizer. All of the sound is from one take on my 19 note per octave guitar + effects.

I love that metallic sound!

The cello work is especially good.

nicely done!!

excellent - this is a great song perfectly played and sung!!
