Zero to Hero and Back © Riff Beach - Original RiffWerx - 2018 In a World filled with Illusion Mr. Hero lived a Wonderful Life Bit off far more than he could chew Even wore out a Wife….or Two!

Bravei sent me this wonderful Music Bed that he had produced and I just played along with My Alvarez Artist Series African Mahogany Acoustic and then ReMiXed so that the guitars would - hopefully - blend together. Simple stereo panning, one guitar left and one right with Drums in the middle. Hope it's enjoyed?!!!! :D

Tony of Tony's Lyrics created a wonderful song concept, which I was most pleased to join in here. Tony and I co-wrote this one, but 95% of the credit goes to him for developing the analogy and song idea. I was gratified to furnish a bit of music and understated production to help frame this tune. Sometimes, when there's a solid song idea - Less is More! ;-) Train Tracks In My Home Town © (Harris-B...

In remembrance of My Dad. If you've ever lost a Father, you will, hopefully, understand. Poured it all right into the strings, then added a bit of Spoken Word Lyrics. The Ibanez Thinline Artcore Vintage Guitar smiles and weeps. Missed, but never forgotten..... Love you, Dad!

Classic sparkly gem from 1969, originally written and performed by the most incredible and underrated, Joe South, on his album of same name. Later, covered by the infamous Brook Benton, as well as Bobby Bare, Glen Campbell and others. Always loved this nostalgic, Retro 60'sh tune. Just sketched my own way here in AcoustaTronic with all intended respect. Hope it's enjoyed? As always, any listens, c...

Just me and my Guitars having some Fun on a Sunday Morning and contemplating Summertime Splendor. Original Music, Production, and Photo Art by Riff :D

This song is dedicated to a most memorable human being that I had the pleasure and privilege to work with and call a Friend in a 'previous life'. "Coach", aka the late, great Al McGuire, would often greet me by asking if everything was "All Seashells and Balloons"? Al spoke his own unique language. It endeared him to his many Players, and millions of Listeners and Viewers who enjoyed his colorful...

A quick, most contemporaneous little bitta' composition and fun using my Nylon strung Fender and a tad of Stereo Binaural Panning.

OK, so ya' bust out a Strat to play along, add a bitta' Fuzz and Slap.....and then, crash it into some Alive & Kickin' Bitcrushed Drumming. Add some Conga's, Synth Pad creation, and then shake and stir up some Funky, Fun, Genre-Bending insanity. Whew! ;-) No instruments were harmed in this Production.
