TWO SELF-TAUGHT MUSICIANS
THAT LOVED AMERICAN ROCK AND ROLL
NAMED JOHN AND PAUL PERFORMED FIRST
OR THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD

THE ADDITION OF GEORGE AND RINGO 
MADE THE FAB FOUR BAND COMPLETE
THE BOYS WERE NOW READY TO GO
PERFORMIN' IN LIVERPOOL AND BEYOND

ATER RECORDING SOME ORIGINAL SONGS
AND PLAYIN' CLASSIC ROCK AND ROLL
ON MANY BBC RADIO PROGRAMS
THEY ROSE TO FAME IN ENGLAND 

AFTER APPEARING IN THE MOVIE
HARD DAYS NIGHT IN SIXTY FOUR
BEATLEMANIA SPREAD AROUND THE WORLD
AND PEOPLE WERE ASKIN' FOR MORE

WHEN I SAW GIRLS SCREAMIN'
WHILE THE BEATLES WERE PLAYIN'
ON THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW
I KNEW BEATLEMANIA
HAD MADE IT TO AMERICA

(GUITAR SOLO)

YEA, WHEN I SAW GIRLS SCREAMIN'
WHILE THE BEATLES WERE PLAYIN'
ON THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW
I KNEW BEATLEMANIA
HAD MADE IT TO AMERICA

Beatlemania - Lyrics by Tony - Featuring Glenny G's "One Man Band" - with Video LInk -Original

La realtà somiglia ad un fiume che scorre incessante nel mare dei ricordi. In quell'accumulo invisibile che chiamiamo memoria, spesso andiamo in cerca delle nostre cose più care, nell'inane tentativo di non perderle per sempre. È questo il tema di un dialogo immaginario tra due amici che provano a trovare un senso allo scorrere inesorabile del tutto.


Ricordi 

A un tratto sei partito
Dal porto il tuo veliero 
Andava via leggero
E non ti ho più sentito
Ferito ti ho inseguito 
Ma il tuo volto si allontana
Sempre più sbiadito 

Tu lo sai quanto segno 
Hai lasciato tra noi
Che sei stato un gigante
Un condottiero/guerriero
La tua spada era sempre 
E soltanto pensiero 

Amico mio 
La vita scivola
In un rapido istante
Già andato, finito
Se vai nei ricordi
Lo troverai (lo troverai) 

Allora forse
Ho capito dici che
Se la vita è perduta
In un lampo in un minuto 
Ciò che abbiamo vissuto 
Non scompare all'istante 
Come avevo temuto 

Del tempo compianto
Grumi di istanti di vita
Come per incanto
Si addensano in memorie
Più vive delle storie 
Senza alcun rimpianto 

Amico mio 
La vita scivola
In un rapido istante
Già andato, finito
Se vai nei ricordi 
Lo troverai (lo troverai)
E non saremo mai troppo distanti
Se la memoria di una vita 
È un sole che arde dentro di te 

Se vai nei ricordi
Nei ricordi 
Se vai nei ricordi 
Lo troverai

Two years after I snapped the second wood tailpiece, I finally got the banjo up to the estimable Bucks County Folk Music Shop for an overhaul. They completely understood what I wanted - this is never going to be a Fine Instrument, but it can be a decently playable one with a great sound. The tech found an old tailpiece for me and (after one of the original pegs snapped as he was restringing it) some upcycled old tuning pegs. Neck was quite bent after 120 years or so, so he put a shim in there to balance it out and the action is way better. "Classic banjo" nylguts sound pretty close to the way I had it sounding with the guts, and they're way cheaper and more playable.

Pretty Polly

‘Will we be fools again’ 
Written in September 2023 after standing in a queue in Starbucks, looking out at a wet, dirty and declining High Street.  I had been been watching the people in town, including one particular couple locked into an intense conversation under an umbrella. They prompted the story in the song. 

I wanted the backing to be sparser and more guitar led to give it an edge. I also wanted the instrumental in the middle to have a woozy, emotional feel to it. 

It’s a song about everyday people ‘stuff’ against a backdrop of a slowly deteriorating townscape. It couldn’t be slick (and I couldn’t be no matter how hard I try!) I hope you enjoy the song. Best with headphones! 

Take care

James (lyrics below) 

Will we be fools again? 

The chewing gum looks like leopard spots on the pavements in the rain
And litter blocks the drains again

Recklessly, we agreed to meet, after these silent years
Now there’s excitement and fear!

Behind the wall, by the social club, an old sanctuary for lovers 

We’ll talk, we’ll laugh 
and then I’ll start to think 
will we be fools again?
Will we be fools again? 

Graffiti on the empty shops, can our town survive?
And meanwhile we destabilise our lives! 

What fools we’d be, to lift the lid and let those lies escape 
Just think of all the hearts we’d break 

But we’re in your car, the radio’s on, as we unwrap the past! 

That smile! Those eyes!
Make me start to think
Will we be fools again?
Will we be fools again?

I’m aware, yeah I’m aware, 
I know where my fault lines are
And you’re spread right across them!  
Right across them.. yeah!

Instrumental 

Yes, we’ll talk, we’ll laugh
You know I’ll start to think
Let us be fools again
Please let us be fools again

Yes, we’ll touch, we’ll kiss
And then the path is clear
For us fools again
Let us be fools again….please, please..

James Whiteman September 2023

Riff Beach (Riff Werx ® 2017 - Revised)

All the chances that we’re given
And the choices that we make
What do we deliver?
To offset all we take?

Chorus
For, our wishes, they’re delicious
Our intentions……..so divine
Remember what we choose…..
and, Leave…..the rest behind

The calm we crave to capture
Often leads to Great Escapes
Will the vineyards of our mind……
…..Give us sweet or sour grapes?

Bridge
Are we searching for a purpose?
Perhaps……a place of Peace? 
Are we holding on too closely?
Or, is it distance that we seek?

< Instrumental, Repeat Verse 1, Chorus and Out >

Please…Hear Our Plea
Or, Hear Our Sigh…..
It’s out there in the Wind
Blowin’ around on High
And, Guide us to Real Power

Love…..and…..Peace  
Now……and Forever
Chorus

Oh, just what have we Done? 
Or, (rather) Un-Done?

We gotta’ make it better. Better for me, and better for you…..
and better for All Things Under The Sun)]
And, sometimes, you know
When we’re all so Tired 
……Tired of Waiting
But, We Know a Change is Comin’
And, you know, sometimes, if we really listen….
I mean really listen?
Perhaps, we can feel it?
And, maybe, this Feeling?
Will bring Healing?
For The Human Race……
And, maybe, help make this a better place !

Right Here…….
Right Now….. Better
Because, you know we can make it…..
So much Better 
Better……Oh, Yeah!
Make Our World
So much Brighter
Lessen our Load……
Yeah, and make it so much Lighter !

You never said, "I'm Leaving"
You never said, "Goodbye”
You were gone before we knew it.......
And only God knows Why
(Chorus 1)
A million times I needed You
A million times I cried
If love alone could have saved You
You (know you) never would have Died
(Bridge)
In Life, I loved you Dearly
In Death, I love You Still
In My Heart, I hold a Place
That only You can Fill
(Chorus 2)
It broke My Heart to lose You
But, You didn't go Alone
As part of Me went with You
The Day God took you Home

You Never Said Goodbye

Rather Be Back Home Again ©
Riff Beach - Original (RiffWerx -2019)
Thinkin’ about some of the places that I’ve been
New York, Paris, Berlin, and Rome
Still, I’d rather be in your arms again
I just wanna’ be Back Home
Yet, here I am……out on my own
Sometimes, feeling mighty and strong
And other times, tired….and all alone
Yet, I just keep on sailing right along
(Chorus) 
Oh, Yeah, but here I am again…….
Though, you’re out-standing on your own
(Left) Thinking of how things might have been
(When) all I wanna’ be is Back Home
Seen the rising and setting of the Sun
I swam upon The Seven Seas
Held it together and came undone
You know this heart is hard to please
(Post-Chorus)
Oh, Yeah, but here I am again
Though, you’re out-standing on your own
Thinking of how things could have been
But, all I wanna’ be is Back Home

An Original right from the very Heart and Soul of this Panhandle Poet and One Man Band.... Reflecting upon blissful times past when our Family would bask in the warmth of a comforting Campfire on gorgeous, chill Wisconsin Autumn Evenings. Actually, they jokingly referred to the campfires I built as more like raging Viking Funeral Pyres or Bonfires, but anyway.... Splendid, Loving Memories for sure. :D))) On occasion, songwriters hear a song in their head and feel it so deeply within their hearts, before even attempting to create or capture it somehow. This tune almost ran over me. Couldn't create a click track fast enough using BIAB, and then played along with my Martin Acoustic 000, and flavored it a little in the background with the Godin Electric. Hope it's enjoyed? Note to Self:  Build another Campfire soon on a Beach nearby! 
Campfire ©
Riff Beach - Original
RiffWerx - 2019
All we need is a spark to build a Campfire
A little something to keep the chill of night away
And, don’t you just love to watch the flames dance higher?
Drink up some warm…..Chase your Blues away
Chorus
(And) Won’t you come sit down next to me?
Unwind your busy mind?
Is there anyplace you’d really rather be?
(Let your thoughts run free…..)
Leave all your worries far behind?
As firelight eases day to night
There’s just nothin’ like a Campfire
The sweet scent of crackling wood
Why, everything feels just the way it should
Bridge
Together, this gift we share 
Splendid moments wrapped in 
A night so clear
For Love..... Love's right here
