TBondo, nobody has done that, including Stephen Bennett. Stephen won the flatpick contest, but never placed higher than third place in the fingerstyle competition. (1985);)

That being said, he is an incredible entertainer that shouldn't be overlooked.

Allen, you've got to admit that that is still not too shabby...;)

For those of you in the midwest, you will be able to see
Stephen Bennett, Billy McLaughlin, and Ed Hall at Ed Hall's
Christmas Guitar night on December 23rd.
Here's a link: http://www.woodstockoperahouse.com/navigation/season3.html

As the opera house is a smaller venue, if you are interested, I would
tell you to act quickly as this show ALWAYS sells out early.
Should be a great show, hope to see some AGF'ers there!!

I met Stephen Bennett when he was teaching at a guitar camp. Nice guy. :)

I stand corrected (oops, actually, I'm sitting down)...Steve is quite the player, that much is for sure....

You'll get no argument from me about how good Stephen is, or what a nice guy he is too. I've recorded on a dvd that also includes him, and I've performed with him a time or two as well. He is about as much fun as anybody I've ever played with. He was also a judge at Winfield from time to time, and that included the year that I won.;)

After I posted what a nice guy Stephen was I was thinking that maybe all instructors at guitar camp are nice, after all they're paid to be good folk. However I then reflected on other instructors and performers personalities and realized that its not necessarily the case. ;) Stephen was able to position himself for newbies and advanced folks and encourage everyone.

4 more days to go. You can call Anderson Guitar Gallery for an advance ticket purchase. 214-387-4050
It will be a good week for me. I will be at the Old Town Pickin Parlor in Colorado for a Beppe Gambetta clinic/concert on Wednesday and then back to Anderson Guitar Gallery for the Stephen Bennett concert on Friday. Now...If I could just sneak a new Collings home, it could end out being a week to remember.
I do have a Kronbauer on order but it may end up being the longest 6 months of my life.
