There he was playing a beautiful George Benson model! I guess it was one that Weir didn't steal! mk   Bobzilla Username: Bobzilla Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Friday, June 01, 2007 - 12:23 pm:    I saw that last night too MK. It was a pretty decent thing to see. That last song may have been a bit long in the tooth but they managed to wrap it up nicely anyway. I like VM, always have. He lost his voice for a while though and I think he owns a guitar made from a plank of wood off of Muddy Waters home/birthplace. He loves Muddy, that's his idol.   Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Friday, June 01, 2007 - 12:40 pm:    I didn't watch until the end...much too late for me. I though his voice was somewhat weak and unfortunately, his guitar playing technique (or lack thereof), doesn't show off the Benson's true colors. mk
