If ive ever admired a guitarist, its this man...bit of a nod..

[bubinga5]

Had Mr Bensons music on today after a long while

the first music i ever heard was from this man..i think it was Last Train to Clarksville if i recall.. i remember being blown away and mesmerised by his playing and the rythm of this track, at the age of about nine i think... the solo work is astounding.... i always remember hearing how the hardcore jazz crowd were in dismay, when he wanted make a bit more of a crust, and go a little more commercial..abet still playing with Earl Klugh and others... i personally think he made some of the best soul pop records ever made... He is such a humble man, who shows his appreciation to who he thinks influenced him and a love of musicians he learns from today... now thats a musician..IMO

i went to see Incognito in London about 8/9 years ago and the special guest was George Benson... that was a great night..

This is a great interview..
