your new songs are incredible…you should seriously think about just putting them on a cd exactly like they are here…you have once again made music entirely different than anything you have made before…i must “give props where props is due,” as the kids say (or, as kids used to say anyway). looking forward to april.

Boy, you sure sound like Cat Stevens in this song! (That’s a compliment.)

I like your word pictures, i.e.-…turn the key…wind–all around me…”
Banjo, eh. That’s right, you do play. and mandolin, yes… man I’m jealous! :-}

Oh, to have the time to do more of what you’re doing. I’m so happy for ya, Ben. You are right in the middle, I believe, of where God wants you, at least for now.

Godspeed, dh

I love the rugged sound and the rocking rhythms. Harp is perfect for this.
Nice job, Ben 8~)

Thanks, friend. Yeah, I have been intentionally trying on some different sounds. I think it’s easy to get stuck in a rut when you’re doing something like this.

Next week - Aretha Franklin!

Dude, really dig it, very different voice for you. It’s got a Bright Eyes flavor. And you rock the harmonica, my friend.
