I'm so glad Benjamin "Son of Dave" is getting some love here on the "L"...

He is indeed a phenomenon and it is thanks to him that I discovered the joys of looping.

Benoit pretty much nails it in his blog post.

If you read any of his writings such as the Stool Pigeon columns, he clearly sees himself as a bluesman and his live shows offer convincing proof of the fact. I go with Ben F. on this one :-)
