Wow, oh wow, BlueJay! Wish I was anywhere near there! I adore Stephen! I believe that he is one of the finest guitar players I have heard. I also believe that he was a one man revolution who brought back the harp guitar from extinction. When things are really rough for me (as is more & more the case since I sustained permanent injuries in an auto accident almost 2 years ago) I listen to Stephen. His very special music which is like no other soothes me--a miraculous accomplishment as I am in a great deal of pain all the time. I attend the Walnut Valley Music Festival every Sept. in Winfield, Kansas and never miss his shows!! We just got to have Tommy Emmanuel in Wichita last Friday nite--and Tommy (who often brings Stephen out during his sets & vice versa) was 1st brought to us in 2000 at Winfield by Stephen Bennett & Pat Kirtley who met up with Tommy at the Chet Atkins Appreciation Society. Now Tommy is a fixture! PLEASE tell Stephen that his pals from Winfield send their love & can hardly wait to see him in September.   I certainly must say that if anybody out there in mudcatville is within driving distance of La Veta, you need to boogie on over there ASAP for some of the most marvelous music on the planet! Scenery ain't beautimous here--wish I were there with you!!! Enjoy the FAB music of Stephen--you are going to be in harp guitar heaven!!!!!
