hey ben!! i remember you in los angeles as a wee little one! my daughter and i inherited the little rent controlled cottage on 21st st when your dad/you vacated. although I remember you well, i'm sure it is a greater challenge for you to remember us. I knew you dad for years and your were always the light of his life.
thrilled at your success but not surprised by your talent. great music. if/when you come to new york hope you will give us a call. i've recently been in touch with your dad again and he will have all data. we live in sag harbor, a beautiful place to visit.

your music is terrific. wishing you continued success.

Hi Benny! I thought I caught a glimpse of you a while ago on an oscar's/grammy's/some award show. I just googled you and here you are. My sweet little second chair bassoon buddy. I am so happy for you and very, very proud. I'd love to catch up and catch a performance when you're back in LA. Congratulations on your success. The website looks great!

Ben,
Still working on that tribute concert to you. I think there will be a lot of cool ranch corn nuts and blackberry use at the show so hopefully you will be able to make it. We will probably start with stablemates. I'm so excited!

Hey Ben! Was just checking out the kneebody site and saw that you had your own place. Which actually made me laugh, because, your hands do look ready for literallly anything!! No seriously, I just finished a project that we are going to sell on CDBABY and I did a site through them as well. This is some pop writing I did under the name mama winslow. Check it out at mamawinslow.com. As always, all of your sounds are so great! Can't wait to catch up with you and the guys. Best wishes.

Ben, you are my brother and I think you're great! I love the new Kneebody album and I can't wait to see DaKah on Sunday. Whoo-hoo! I think you should write a new track called "Elsie." It could be something like "Itchy Ears," but with more finesse...just a thought. You need some more photos up in here...wwhere's the one of you after the "O Those Donuts" experience a few years ago? That one was a classic. :-)
