Never been a great one for birthdays, but can't let the occasion of The Guvnor's 'Big One' pass without tribute. Brian has

consistently inspired me and many others by his approach to his craft. Always experimenting with new rhythms, never

'flash' in style; play for the song is the key. Could go on and on (and often do) but suffice to say that, whilst Buddy

was undoubtedly the greatest, when asked "who's your favourite?" I never hesitate. Brian Bennett!! A very Happy Birtday,

Guv'nor! And thanks, once again, for so much.
Mart.

80 today! Good grief! I remember in 1980 I sent Brian a 40th birthday card via EMI. Where have all the years/decades gone? Happy Birthday!

Let's all watch and listen to this, shall we...?

Manny happy returns Guv'nor!!!
