I love this stuff. A friend of mine once played a WPB song called "I think of You". Can anyone post it? It's hard to get hold of any of his material since his death.
So much talent here. Willie P. was a one of a kind minstrel writing from the heart. I remember like it was yesterday hearing Willie P. sing at folk festivals and small clubs. He was always right in the moment. We'll see you again after a while, Willie P.
I had the pleasure of meeting Willie on several occasions. He was always a humble and gracious man. One of our hidden treasures. Rest in Peace Willie you are missed but never forgotten.
I recently saw a DVD with live recording of Fred Eaglesmith's band in The Netherlands. I was at that show and knew that Willie P Bennett had played the stars from heaven with his mandoline. He was a great musician and performer. Hope there's material to be retrieved from his vaults.
Oui <3 WPB !

Yeah, it'd get crowded with all of us!
Re the OM 21 - I'd love to strum a couple Willie tunes on it someday.

P was the best. We carved a slash across central Ontario back in the 70's. When he sang his voice sounded like melting chocolate...
