Thanks for that link, Becky. If I'm not mistaken, stone letter carver, Nicholas Benson is the son of, or most certainly related to, John "Fudd" Benson, traditional singer and fiddler, whose music I first encountered on the LP Steady As She Goes, along with Lou Killen and the Brothers Warner.
In addition to his fine musicianship, Fudd is also a master stone carver and sculptor.
