Ben Trussell

We lost Ben Trussell this weekend. Ben was a talented singer songwriter from the area, and way too young to be lost. There are a lot of people here hurting right now. We all knew him, every musician I know has partied, played and laughed with Ben. We jammed on some Stones at the Voodoo Lounge the last time I saw him and then he took my guitar, retuned it and played Stevie Wonder's Superstitious in that tuning he was using. He sounded great, I hadn't heard it that way before. It will be a tough week. There's pain here now, but there are also a lot of people remembering how much they loved his music and his spirit.
