Search - Richard Drexler & Friends Herb Silverstein :: Beach Walker

Strolling along a soft, sandy shore has provided inspiration for countless people through the ages; today those same feelings abound and are demonstrated in this eclectic assortment of original songs masterminded by Dr. Herb Silverstein. Under the umbrella of brainstorming, both Dr. Herb and Richard Drexler decided to add a new twist to this production and incorporated a variety of string techniques using LaRue Nickelson?s smooth jazz guitar and a string quartet. The combined talents of top-flight musicians including Richard Drexler, Steve Moretti, LaRue Nickelson, Joel Spencer, and Jack Wilkins piece together this magic sand castle of sound. A talented, budding composer, Herb Silverstein finds inspiration in beach walking, among other activities, hence, the title of this CD and a lively song, too. The haunting 9.11 was penned as the 11th song on the planned 9th CD, however, as time played its own historical tune, the moment that forever changed the history of this country slammed into being just a short time after his composition was written. Now a song with a double entendre, this 9.11 forever reminds listeners of a day steeped in history. Each song was written and titled with a significance that is perhaps audible to the listener. So, sit back and enjoy again this gift of sound, and allow your imagination to stroll barefoot through the soft sand, as you become a beach walker.
