Try not to dwell on the tough times.  So many good things in  life
to reflect on -- a good woman, birth of my babies, them growing up
and moving on, friends and family for support.  Ah, keep your
heart on fire!

My Heart's On Fire  (Original)

Squashing The Beef takes inspiration from the 70's socio-political movement led by legendary artists like Fela, Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, Gil Scott-Heron, Bob Marley and Sam Cooke.
The song touches on delicate issues like inequality, love and violence in the black community.

Squashing The Beef

Lyrics:-
Just trying to tell you
To open up your eyes
Just trying to show you
How you've believed the lies

I'm waiting for you
Until you're not so blind
So I can show you
How to enjoy the ride

Ignorance is bliss
So safe inside the construct
But the walls are closing in
Do you plan to stay
When truth decides to disrupt
Will you take it on the chin

It's what I'm thinking
I'll leave you to your thoughts
Aint gonna force you
The choice is yours of course

Ignorance is bliss
So safe inside the construct
But the walls are closing in
Do you plan to stay
When truth decides to disrupt
Will you take it on the chin

If I caught the moon
Graffitied on it's surface
All the who, what, where and whys
You would still believe
The stories you've been fed
So comfortable in your denial

We’re Heading on Up
But, We Keep…. 
Falling Down
Gotta’ pick ourselves Up
From the cold, hard Ground
Our knees are scuffed
Our Bones are sore
Our minds confused
All those Lies…..
And so much more
Don’t give me excuses
Don’t you criticize
One day you’ll wake up
And You’ll realize
So, Pick It Up
Don’t Put ‘Em Down
Your Time is Up
Don’t Look Around
Don’t You Look Around

Estamos subindo
Mas, nós mantemos….
Caindo
Temos que nos levantar
Do solo frio e duro
Nossos joelhos estão arranhados
Nossos ossos estão doloridos
Nossas mentes confusas
Todas aquelas mentiras… ..
E muito mais
Não me dê desculpas
Não critique
Um dia você vai acordar
E você vai perceber
Então, pegue
Não os abaixe
Seu tempo acabou
Não olhe em volta
Você não olha em volta
(Repetir versos)

Ethiopia  
Words & music: Pravinand Maharaj (Johnny Minstrel)

Your fear has overcome you
And faith is just a matter of doing what you really doubt
Your strength has slowly left you
And everything you lost are the only things you cared about

Your dreams in shattered jars of clay now
Scattered all across the world and everybody knows
You scream through another day now
But all you hear are echoes of yourself the valley throws

Chorus
So far you couldn’t remember Eden
So down the road you don’t know who you are
So close to the post of the one left scourged and bleeding
On the desert road back to Ethiopia

The light is slowly fading
Edges of the darkness are creeping on your soul
Your queen back home is waiting
Waiting for the gift that can’t be bought or sold

Chorus
A sound and your heart it freezes
Till a voice tells you be not afraid
Just be strong
There’s a man and he’s sent by Jesus
As your fears disappear
You ask him what took so long

Chorus

Jim Croce has always been a favorite singer/songwriter of mine.  
I decided to do another one of his tunes.  I wonder what great
song he might have written if he was still with us?  Thanks
so much for listening.

Such a great artist and singer/songwriter.  Real and down to earth
songs that are so relatable.  One of country's greatest.  I love Merle
Haggard and I love this tune.  My thanks to my friend, Lefty Mike,
for his vocals,harp,bass and helping with the recording.  Mike is a 
talented singer/songwriter with great songs on SC.  It would be
a treat to visit his SC page.

A tribute to Mr. Windel Page

WHEN I WAS JUST A BOY
VISITING MY AUNT'S HOUSE
WOULD FILL MY HEART WITH JOY
I LOVED THAT OLD FARMHOUSE

MR. PAGE AND HIS WIFE
LIVED NEXT DOOR
THEY HAD A GREAT LIFE
WHO COULD ASK FOR MORE

THEY HAD SOMETHING SPECIAL
THAT I'D NEVER SEEN
HE TREATED HER LIKE AN ANGLE
IT WAS LIKE A DREAM

(CHORUS)
YOU COULD SEE THE FAITH IN HIS EYES
AND FEEL THE LOVE IN HIS HEART
HE WAS BAPTIZED IN GOD'S LOVE
YOU KNEW THAT FROM THE START

HE WOULD SING AMAZING GRACE
WITH A BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE
BEING A WORLD WAR II VET
DID HE HONOR THE FLAG? YOU BET

GOSPEL MUSIC WAS IN HIS SOUL
HE LOVED THE LORD AND FAMILY 
WHEN TALKING ABOUT HIS FAITH
HE WAS VERY BOLD

HE LOVED HIS CHURCH FAMILY
NO MATTER WHAT THEIR AGE
WILL FOREVER BE MISSED
REST IN PEACE...MR. PAGE

(REPEAT CHORUS OPTIONAL)

Letting Go ©
Riff Beach - Original
RiffWerx - 2022
I’m basking in Nothingness
I’m pushing through time and space
Not sure where I’m going
Not sure of my place
Such self importance
It’s merely contrived
One day we‘ll wake up
Wondering how we survived
With love in my heart
And a most confused mind
It tears me apart
To feel so unkind
So steady my path, Lord
Tame all my dreams
Show me the way 
To untwist my schemes
May I become better
In all I pursue
For I mean no harm
I simply love you

Letting Go ©

This is a happy account of that special time of the year where we can often just wander through the throngs of people and spirit of the Christmas season. Nat wanted to capture that classic, old school holiday pop song vibe. Think 1950’s or 60’s. No need to look for anything but the most common denominators here as we wish everyone the happiest of holidays the Christmas season!

Lyrics: Christmas Time With You

Whooooo can you feel it
There’s magic in the air
The smell of home made Christmas pie
And there’s yule tide planning ‘till the morning light

All the world is full of cheer
And the church bells ring out clear
The glow of lights blocking out the night
As it jingles and it jangles to our hearts delight

So we’re walking hand in hand
As a sweet salvation band
Starts playing a Christmas song

People rush to hurry by
All the parcels sweetly tied
There’s a Santa ringing a shiny bell
But he’s not St. Nick and the kids can tell

But the magic of his Cheer, 
Will remind us why we’re here
To rekindle love for all mankind
And to share a bit of kindness through this holy time

And so we’re walking hand in hand
As a sweet salvation band
Starts playing a Christmas song..
Kiss me sweetly, and hold my hand
On this corner where the band
Is playing our Christmas song

Christmas Time With You

Lyrics by Tony Harris
Vocal, Music and Mix by Chuck Aaron

LISTENIN' TO THE WHUPERWILLS
IN THE SUMMER MOON LIGHT
WHILE CATCHIN' FIRE FLIES
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT

SETTIN' ON A CREEK BANK
WITH A FISHIN' POLE
CATCHIN' CAT FISH
AND WATCHIN' TADPOLES

(CHORUS)
GROWING UP IN THE SOUTH
THE SUMMER'S WERE HOT
A COLD GLASS OF SWEET TEA
SURE HIT THE SPOT
EVERY HOUSE HAD A SCREEN DOOR
YOU DON'T SEE THAT ANYMORE
NO, DON'T SEE THAT ANYMORE

(GUITAR SOLO)

SETTIN' ON A FRONT PORCH
ON A PORCH SWING
STRUMIN' OUR GUITARS
TAPPIN' OUR FEET AS WE SING

BIG FRONT PORCHES 
WERE THE GATHERIN' PLACES
FOR SOME STORYTELLIN'
AND GOOD TIMES

(REPEAT CHORUS 2 TIMES)

Growing Up In The South - Lyrics by Tony - Vocal/Music by Chuck Aaron - Original

Quite some time ago, I made a quick “live” recording of this classic old Beatles song. It was just to serve as an example of how Nat & I might try doing a proper recording at some future time. But as Nat has so often managed to do, she added her beautiful harmonies and piano work and other production touches to make something out of it that we both now feel is well worthwhile. This song was written by John Lennon and released on the 1965 Beatles album “Help!”.

World Gone Bad - Words & Music: Pravinand Maharaj

I was born downtown on a bed of rats
From a dirty faced kid to a mean ol’ cat
Mama said son you look just like your dad
It’s hard being good in a world gone bad

Don’t wanna go where I don’t want to be
Don’t want to say what I don’t really mean
What a lowdown rotten life I had
It’s hard being good in a world gone bad

Gonna pull up my boots
Pick up my cane
Put on my hat
Get on the road again
Hit that trail before the break of dawn
You can wait all you want but baby I’ll be gone

Some get their kicks in the back of a hearse
Some drink blood just to quench their thirst
Me I’m on the edge going mad
It’s hard being good in a world gone bad 


World Gone Bad

Mike  created this wonderful song .  I am so glad he asked me to participate .   I just love this old tune also recorded by Merle Haggard.   Such an emotional  song with deep meaning.  Thanks again Mike for letting me join in on your excellent version   I hope SC listeners feel the same

If I Could Only Fly (Blaze Foley cover by Lefty Mike and Chuck Aaron)

Just a simple, minimally produced Original Tune reflecting on Happy Moments in Life. Sometimes, we all need to embrace and grab onto the present and the beauty in this World whenever we can.

My mind crashed on a tumbling wave
While walking along some familiar shore
Little moments that we crave
Yet, we’re still left wanting more
(Chorus)
Come sit next to me by the fire
Let us shimmer in the light
As those flames keep dancing higher
Love’s burning in our hearts tonight
Some say nothing lasts forever
One day we’ll remember when
Making memories together
While we share the love within
As the cool sand soothes our souls
Let us never lose this desire
We both know what the future holds
When our hearts are set on fire
So, say goodnight to the sun
As the fire casts its amber glow
When the world just feels numb
I know a special place where we can go

Showstopper, pill popper
What’s it all about
Bad weather coming down
The fans sing and shout
Cry heaven, earth in ruin
A battle won and lost
Somewhere up a Muslim moon
Somewhere down a Christian cross

And oh it’s a situation
A bad situation

Survivor, revive her
She can’t die again
What will we do without her
The last link on freedom’s chain
Cities fall, madmen rise
Fear everywhere
Kids learn the facts of life
From bigots who don’t care

And oh it’s a situation
A bad situation
Oh…it’s a situation
A bad situation

Singing sweet and strong
Weeping deep and long
What voice comes to you today?
Singing sweet and strong
Weeping deep and long
What voice comes to you today?

And oh it’s a situation
A bad situation
Oh…it’s a situation
A bad situation

Laid to rest, she was the best
To her grave alone
With every song she ever sung
To find a way back home
A lone wind calling, sirens howling
Somewhere someone screams
If we could lay our weapons down
And like her start to sing

HE'D BEEN HUNTIN'		
NO MORE SEARCHIN'

AS DEAN FELL TO THE FLOOR
HE SAID, SORRY OLD MAN
DIDN'T MEAN TO KILL HER
GUESS YOU EVENED THE SCORE

JUMPED THE CAR OFF

WELL, I STOPPED THE CAR
AND I OPENED THE TRUNK
OF COURSE THE SPARE WAS FLAT……IMAGINE THAT?
…..WE WERE RUNNING FLAT
I REACHED FOR MY CELL

OF COURSE THE PHONE WAS DEAD
WITHOUT A CHARGER IN SIGHT 
FLAGGED A CAR DOWN
JUST TO ASK FOR HELP
BLEW HIS HORN

Music/Vocal/Mix by Riff Beach
The cover art is the Painting hanging in the Shop 

Walking into an Antique Store
On a cold Winter's day
I noticed a painting…...
That I hadn't seen before
With a Guitar in the Center
Well, my mind, it went back in time
To when Elvis lived here
Such a fine picture
Strollin' through the shop
Well, he was on my mind
Yeah, Tupelo….
That's where he learned to play
On an old flat top
(Chorus)
We were Antiquin' in Tupelo
What a fun thing to do
Antiquin' in Tupelo
On a cold Winter's day
Let your mind relax….and float away
Down in Tupelo
On a cold Winter's day
And you know, all his Daddy could afford
Was a two-room house
But, it kept him from being bored….
Playing music over in East Tupelo
This 'Ol Southern town
Why, it just has music in it's soul
You can feel it in the air - everywhere
As you drive around
In Tupelo…..
We were Antiquin' in Tupelo
What a fun thing to do
Just Antiquin' in Tupelo
On a cold Winter's day

Antiquities In Tupelo - Lyrics by Tony Harris - Featuring Riff Beach - Original

Ah, nostalgia.  Maybe the older we get, the more we keep longing for days of our past.  Just some sweet memories of my childhood days living as share-croppers in the Louisiana Delta near the Mississippi River.

Take Me Back(Original)

The City - Words & Music by Pravinand Maharaj

Once it was a city
Now it’s just a street
With every mile another dream lays crushed
And the sun shows no pity
Pouring out its heat
As mighty towers crumble into dust

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

There were signs on the water
Portents in the sky
The Watchers blind by sleep didn’t see a thing
Six crows at the altar
A bargain for the price
Half less worth an eagle’s broken wing

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

What walks the moon at midnight
Through the narrow lanes 
Lurking in the shadows that it cast
A pestilence upon us, a blight
A spreading stain
Taking everything out on its path

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

So, sing the last love song written
Drink up the vineyard grape
Rouse the ghosts of tomorrow from their slumber
If I break out of this prison
And the hour’s not too late
I’ll be down the road without a name or number

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

Tony had sent me some Lyrics as an idea to create a song about New Orleans. Since it's my Hometown, he felt I might be able to add some of my own thoughts to the concept. So, I used his lyrics to inspire a few revisions, then created/edited this Original musical arrangement, along with BIAB Backing Tracks, played and recorded my guitar, Djembe/Shakers, vocals, and mixed it all up.  Hope it's enjoyed? As always, your Listening and Comments are genuinely appreciated. Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler! ;-)

Lyrics Inspired by Tony Harris (Tony’s Lyrics)
Oh, just around the corner
Of Hope and Despair
Why there’s Voodoo and Hoodoo 
Can’t you just feel it in the Air?
Maybe, somewhere in The Quarter…
Not far from Jackson Square?
Winding along The Mouth of The Mighty Mississippi
Riverboats, Streetcars, Uptown and Down
Dreamers and Schemers, Jumpin’ Jazz Beats
Why, there’s Music n’ Dancin’
Out in The Streets
(Chorus)
Oh, Away Down in New Orleans
If you’ve ever been….
You know just what I mean?
Whatever happens there….
Not always as it seems
Yeah, Down…Away Down
Down in New Orleans 
There’s Madness in The Moonlight 
Mystery in The Rising Sun
Saints and Sinners 
All praying, or playing, or paying
For whatever it is They Done
Yeah, New Orleans
Ain’t Nothing Like it, Friend
Cajun Queens and Pirates and Mardi Gras
Just a few special things……
But, then there’s so much more

WHEN HE WAS GROWING UP
HIS DADDY TALKED A LOT
ABOUT GROWING UP
DOWN IN BOARDTREE BOTTOM

AS A CHILD BACK THEN
IT DIDN'T MEAN MUCH TO HIM
TO HIS DADDY,  IT MEANT A LOT
DOWN IN BOARDTREE BOTTOM

BOARDTREE CREEK
RAN THRU BOARDTREE BOTTOM
WHERE THE BOY'S HUNG OUT
DOWN IN BOARDTREE BOTTOM

(CHORUS)
BOARDTREE BOTTOM
WHERE THE WATER RUNS COLD
BOARDTREE BOTTOM
WHERE MEMORIES UNFOLD
BOARDTREE BOTTOM
WHERE THE COOL WIND BLOWS
WHERE THE COOL WIND BLOWS

THE COLD WATER WAS GREAT
ON THOSE HOT SUMMER DAYS
THEY BECAME LIFE LONG FRIENDS
DOWN IN BOARDTREE BOTTOM

BOARDTREE BOTTOM
HAD A SMALL COUNTRY CHURCH
WHERE MANY WERE BAPTISED
DOWN IN BOARDTREE CREEK

COUNTRY LIFE WAS DIFFERENT
WAY BACK THEN IN THE SOUTH
THE TIMES, THEY HAVE CHANGED
DOWN IN BOARDTREE BOTTOM

LIFE OUTSIDE A WINDOW BOX " Ask Yourself " by Glen Granthem
LYRICS
Would you leave behind everything you own
Start a new life create a home
Fall back naked wearing flesh and bone
Walk forward blindly to face the unknown
Live outside a window box, Electric moments unwound clocks
Could you travel the world  one day at a time
Never look back and still have peace of mind
Ride the sea in a ship with a sail
With no regret to live out this tale
Live outside a window box, Electric moments  endless talk
Ask yourself is it to late Just ask yourself if it's to late
Was there a time in life with your greatest love
You took a chance embraced god above
Running free through an open field
Then stopped to pick a daffodil 
And lived outside your window box  Electric moments endless talk
Ask Yourself is to late Just ask yourself if its to late

Life Outside A Window Box  ( Original With lyrics )

Remembering old friends and places with such great images.  This song
was written by Lyle Lovett and Robert Earl Keen Jr,. while they attended
Texas A&M in the late 70's. It was released by Lyle in 1986.  What an American singer and songwriter.  A gem of a song

This Old Porch   (  cover - Lyle Lovett)

A special song about my Dad. (a tribute to John Prine's style of music)
Lyrics by Tony Harris that inspired Lizzie 
Vocal & Music by my friend Lizzie Taypen

I WOKE UP EVERY MORNIN'
TO THE SOUND OF HIM PLAYIN'
HIS OLD HARP IN THE KEY OF "C"
A GREAT MEMORY FOR ME

THEN HE WAS READY TO START HIS DAY
GRABBED HIS LUNCH...WAS ON HIS WAY
ALWAYS ARIVING EARLY AT THE JOB SITE
CAUSE BEIN' LATE WOULD NOT BE RIGHT

(CHORUS)
MY DADDY WAS A CARPENTER
HE LOVED DRIVIN' THEM NAILS
A SMALL TIME CONTRACTOR
ALWAYS FOCUSED ON DETAILS
NO AIR TOOLS BACK THEN
TO HIM…IT WAS A SIN
IF YOU DIDN'T USE A HAMMER

HIS WORK DAY'S...THEY WERE LONG
FILLED WITH HARD WORK AND SWEAT
NOW DON'T GET ME WRONG
MY DAD HAD NO REGRETS

HE LEARNED HIS TRADE
IN THE ARMY DURING THE WAR
WORE OUT MANY A SAW BLADE
AND HUNG MANY A DOOR

(REPEAT CHORUS)

ON SUNDAY WE WERE ALWAYS GOIN'
TO THE COUNTRY CHURCH NEXT DOOR
HIS BIBLE, HE WAS ALWAYS READIN'
DIDN'T WANT TO BE THE MAN HE WAS BEFORE

(REPEAT CHORUS)

The lyrics below inspired Glen to produce this track.

JOHNNY WASEN'T A PREACHER MAN	
OR THE LEADER OF A WORSHIP BAND	
HE WASEN'T A BIG TIME MINISTER	
OR EVEN A SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER	
	
HE NEVER EVER PRAYED OUT LOUD	
OR TRIED TO STAND OUT IN A CROWD	
HE WAS NO STRANGER TO LUST OR SIN	
NEVER AFRAID TO SAY AMEN	
	
(CHORUS)	
JOHNNY LOVED JESUS, MUSIC AND FAMILY  	
HE WAS ABSOLUTELY HIS OWN WORST ENEMY	
HE LOVED SINGIN' PRAISES TO HIS LORD	
PRAYED THAT HEAVEN WOULD BE HIS REWARD	
	
	
HE DIDN'T LIVE IN A MANSION	
OR NEED LOTS OF  ATTENTION	
HE DIDN'T DRIVE A FANCY CAR	
OR OWN ANY RARE GUITARS	
	
HE LOVED HIS OLD FLAT TOP	
AND HE PLAYED IT NONSTOP	
HE WAS A TRUE DISCIPLE	
OF THAT OLD TIME COUNTRY GOSPEL	
	
(REPEAT CHORUS)	
	
NOW HE'S SINGIN' WITH THE ANGEL'S	
AND WALKIN' THE STREETS OF GOLD	
	
(GUITAR SOLO)	
	
(REPEAT CHORUS )

Johnny - Lyrics by Tony Harris - Featuring Glenny G's One Man Band - Original

A beautiful crime. The world's in a dark place. We are heartbroken. To make a change is not a crime.

Be Still

Be Still (ORIGINAL)

First, I would like to say thank you for reading this. That means that you liked my songs enough to see what I’m about. That means a lot to me.
I’m a working man and a family man. The years digging ditches and breaking my back to put food on the table, has given me enough ammo to write a song or two. I like to write songs about real life with all of its struggles, beauty and grit…

In this digital age of perfect music I'm trying to leave the human imperfections in the tracks. Most parts are done straight through with no splices. A missed note or chord here or there, bit out of time...trying to keep it raw. Maybe I go too far sometimes?

I don't play games on SoundCloud. If I like your music ill like it and follow you. I wont unfollow you even if you don't follow me back!  If you do I'll be delighted though!
