Cliffs Riffs - Stuph n Nonsense

I love to tinker around with electronic music. Some of what I have done is on Soundcloud .   After a friend expressed interest in using some of it for background music in slideshows he does for his customers, I thought I might just make my music available to anyone.     So, if you would like to use any of the music I have up on Soundcloud, then CLICK THIS LINK and help yourself.   All I would ask is that IF you can, please give me a credit and/or put a link to my Soundcloud music so others might do the same.     Most of the tracks are 2-3 minutes, a couple are longer, but feel free to shorten or lengthen them as you need.   Just click THIS LINK and help yourself. No internet spying, no information collection - just FREE slideshow music. My FREE music for Slideshows is on Soundcloud

  Lou Reed is gone. Long Live Lou Reed.   I can't say I was a FAN of Lou's because frankly some of his music went right on by me. I did not get, nor did I give a second listen to Metal Machine Music. Some of his stuff was too dark or just beyond me. That being said, I have followed his career since I was a pup and some of his music will be forever showing up on my MP3 player or what ever music device we will have available to us in the next decade or two.   I was fortunate enough to experience Lou live on two occasions. The first was during the Rock n Roll Animal tour in 1974 or early '75. My friends and I went to "The Dome" at Grand Valley to have our minds blown by a wild man who took the stage late, looked like nobody in West Michigan, simulated shooting up heroin, and generally took the top of our heads off with his show and music. The second time I saw him was much more sedate, but every bit as memorable. It was 8-9 years later and he ...

A song about how sometimes the detours are what make life great. http://soundcloud.com/bigreddawg/not-exactly # Not Exactly   words n music by Cliff Yankovich aka BigRedDawg It wasn't exactly what I'd planned, but I went with it. (repeat) You see It wasn't exactly who I am, but I went with it. (repeat) It wasn't the way I'd seen it, And I thought it should be. Sometimes the big picture, Ain't all about me. (Chorus) It wasn't close to the road I'd drive, if it was left to me, But sometimes the detours are where we're supposed to be. (Chorus) repeat both verses (Chorus)

So - Amy is in Texas for a few months and I wanted her to hear a little song I recorded for Hunters first birthday - was wondering how to get it to her and she told me about Sound Cloud. What a cool place - small timers like me can store up to 120 minutes of our "sound files" - be they music, poetry, or whatever - there for free. You get more storage space and features for a nominal fee of $40 US a year. Sound Cloud was a great recommend - thanks Amy. My music files are here:  http://soundcloud.com/bigreddawg
