RiffCaster Spotlight - Rick West

Posted by bluesydude on November 1st, 2007

Rick is a most capable guitar player and one more compassionate soul. One of our RiffCaster family recently left town to attend a funeral and upon returning home found that his home had been burglarized and all of his instruments were gone. It goes without saying that loss of a family member is […]

Riffcaster Spotlight - George “Sandman” Slayter

Posted by bluesydude on September 25th, 2007

Sandman is a remarkable guitar artist. Why use guitar artist instead on guitarist; because he doesn’t just play he creates. He did the following recording, “Chet’s Front Porch” which moved me deeply. It was like listening to my Dad pick again. Oh how I miss not hearing him play. So […]

Riffcaster Spotlight - Jim Mooso

Posted by bluesydude on August 16th, 2007

Spotlighthing a new comer to the RiffCaster scene - Jim Mooso aka SoCalJammer. I have listened to all of his post and there is some serious talent going on here. In only five post to the Riffcaster he has displayed a wide range of musical taste and from crunching in-your-face giant chords to very laid […]

RiffCaster Spotlight - Hakan Lindstrom

Posted by bluesydude on July 8th, 2007

My blues brother. I’ve been listening to his stuff with interest for some time now and then he had to go and throw down a blues track that I could not pass up. Give a listen to “Another Blues”.

Another favorite blues tune is “Summer Blues”
Of course […]

RiffCaster Spotlight - Javier H.

Posted by bluesydude on June 1st, 2007

I don’t know anything about Javier H. except the man can play a guitar like nobody’s business. He seems to have a little problem coming up with song titles, but his playing more than compensates for this inadequacy. I’ve often wondered how one comes up with titles for instrumentals anyway. […]

RiffCaster Spotlight - Mickey Mix

Posted by bluesydude on May 7th, 2007

Miami’s own Mickey Mix is a Riffworks ambassador and most excellent song writer and guitar player. Mickey makes all newbies to the Riffcaster scene welcome and he also let’s them know, “the new guy buys the beer!” Mickey constantly encourages others in their musical endeavors. He also is a certified RiffLink Junkie, and […]

RiffRumble VII Song Competition - House of the Risen Son

Posted by bluesydude on April 18th, 2007

I entered a song in the RiffRumble VII competition. The song is called House of the Risen Son. It is a jazzy version of House of the Rising Sun. But since I know I have the promise of living in the House of the Risen Son, Jesus Christ, the song takes on a […]

RiffRumble IV Song Competition - Update

Posted by bluesydude on October 15th, 2006

I want to thank everyone that supported me by casting a “cheer” (vote) for me in the recent song competition.
The official results are out and I did not win the competition, but I am a winner in so many other ways. I could not ask for better friends and family.
A special thanks to Michelle and […]
