Richard and His Guitar

About Me

I am Richard Benavides. I play many instruments, but I love the acoustic guitar, and I have decided to put my songs out there and see what people think. This is an update of what is going on with me and the band
I am in Arizona, in the Tempe/Mesa/Gilbert area right now, working at a church here. It's pretty sweet, we rock out for God. I graduated in August. I want to Glorify God with music, and in my life.
I am putting some songs from my time playing with people on here... replacing a couple of the bottom ones. Take a listen, they are not all the same. :)


I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !

The Church is dying...

... so what are you doing to revive it?  The church where I work keeps very good records, and I looked back in roughly 10 year increments at attendance records.  In 1960, there were about 60...

When Clarity Comes...

Slipping away...

It's hard when you see something that means the world to you slipping away.  It's hard when you know you could have done something better.  The hardest part is still living in today when you...
