Hi all,
Thought I would post a couple pix from the Stephen Bennett concert here in Toronto last night, sponsored byt the Toronto Fingerstyle Association. I brought along some guitars as usual since I sponsor the TFG, including the Dragonfly multiscale and my first Baritone. After the soundcheck, while I had the guitar out, Stephen said he would play it thru the house mics and PA, so I could here it - well of course I cant play anywher near like him, nor with hs impecable touch. While he was playing, I asked him if he played baritone, (DUH !!) and he said sure, did you you bring one of those too ??? Before I even got it out of the case he asks if he can play it tonight - well OK
So he played 3 tunes on the bari, of course a couple of which I dont know the names of, but they were originals, the other a cover of a Shame Shame Shame by Aretha. The one original was a std guitar piece which he figured would work out well on bari, and sounded absolutely amazing - almost cello like in parts.
All in all, an amazing evening - get out to see him if you EVER get the chance. The harp guitar tunes KILLED.
