Wild Horses and Ben

That was an amazing time Sunday. I'm not good with words these days, can't seem to find the right way to communicate exactly what I want to say. Can't quite say what being at that benefit made me feel. I just wanted to go and listen and hear what all these other people had to say about our friend Ben Trussell. I learned a lot. The Huntsville music scene has some great talent and some great love. Ben wrote some great songs. I believe these songs are going to be heard again. It was such a privilege to be there. Jerry arrived late and we eventually got on stage and played Soulshine, by the Allman Brothers and Government Mule, Steal My Kisses by Ben Harper. With us were Marge, Bill, Matt Ross, Ryan Tillery on drums and whoever else was left on stage! It was a mass of musicians who wanted to be in on the fun. The crowd was giving it back. Pictures of Ben to our right on the screen. Going to remember this one for a while. If anything, I wish I had played Wild Horses, it was the last song Ben and I played together at my gig at Voodoo Lounge that he sat in on. There will be time to play that one and remember. In the mean time I'm just glad I could soak Sunday up. Really glad to be a part of that, very thankful to be able to share. I don't think anyone will forget this anytime soon.
