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.
