Riff
A guitarist who feels every note.
Riff brings a burst of rock energy wherever he goes. He is loud on stage, generous off it and always ready for one more song.
The quietest concert
Riff promised to play at the neighborhood's afternoon party. He arrived with his red guitar and a song loud enough to wake a sleeping mountain. Then he saw the party: a tiny tea table, three sleepy hedgehogs and a sign that said QUIET AFTERNOON.
Riff lowered the volume. He played a gentle chord. One hedgehog tapped a foot. He played another. The others joined in, softly tapping their cups with spoons.
By the last chorus, everyone was smiling. Riff finished with the smallest bow he had ever given. A hedgehog whispered, “Can you play one more?”
Riff grinned. He played an encore so quiet that they had to lean in to hear it. On his way home, he wrote a new song called Whispering Thunder. It still had a guitar solo.
