T, Steve, Slowpaw

This may not be to everybody's taste, but I love North African music and had an idea in mind last summer to do something. I was further inspired by the belly dancing spot at last year's Boxstock and so here it is... a westerner's musical impression of events, some amazing and heartbreaking images have poured out of our TV screens over the last fifteen or so months from the Middle East, and still it goes on!PLAY LOUD!Guitar - Punch 2Drums - "The Cannon", Roland TD-12 V-Drums,Percussion - Jingle ring.From "Slowpaw Brew" CD.Copyright Steve Trowbridge March 2012.

Wow, great job on that. Love the Middle East flavors, music, food and women! Wonderful playing and the video editing must have taken a lot of time, well done.

Many thanks Jimmy! I am planning on making a professionally produced CD in the future when i will put together all the 20 or so best songs together with a little remastering here and there, onward and upward! (-;

Thankyou for making me an honourary Scot - i will be up for the annual Haggis shooting season later this year! (-:

ps just realised that ah have just given ya a review! LOL. Ya want me to post "review" anywhere else, as genuinely mean every word. BTW , your 6 track FREE gift CD was good, but obviously, the full, professional CD, was the one ya put the extra time time and effort into.

Yer welcome, Steve ma man. Yer Cd a good variety of stuff. Ya like singing aboot yer brew, and the bevvy lol You are an honoury Scotman twice over. Nice didley bow number, and "truck" number took me back ta the tmem ah had a CB radio (but NOT a truck lol). Social commnetary worked in "Britain" song (Maggie etc) without ya tryin (like evryone else lol), ta sound like Dylan! Some nice backing touches (sound effects; voice), but not dstracting in any way. ya were RIGHT UP THERE in full flight, ma man :) Well worth the few pound! Listened a few times, nothing to criticise. Maybe CD presenattaion could be a little more upmarket, as some people like the covers ta be fancy. But ah'm happy , ma man. Well done, and lets have more :)

Many thanks for the 'epic' comments, guys, very much appreciated...! a cigar box, a little imagination, it doesn't do any harm to think out of the box occasionally! (-;
