So when I was 20-21 I had the pleasure of being George Benson's Guitar Tech. This covered George, Michael O'Neill and bassist Stanley Banks.
I had to bust my ass for these guys day after day. Yet, I got to see them all play and I learned a lot from them back in 1985 and 1986.
A month or so ago I found out that they were playing in Portsmouth, NH at the Music Hall. Michael O'Neill set my up with Orchestra Seats and all the good things that come with it.
George was sick as a dog and had been in the hospital this morning because he had lost his voice. You would never know it. He kicked ass! It amazes me that people of this caliber sound better than 95% of the musicians out there even when sick.
George sounded amazing. I am so used to seeing him from the back of the stage that it was even more amazing to see him from the front of the stage.
If you get the chance to catch George and his band, I can only say do it. There are so few on this level. The entire band is perfection.
