I'm not responding to this video but rather to George's talent. I'm listening to "The Changing World" right now and It's blowing my mind...AGAIN!

Que grande el negrito Benson, alto crack este flaco. Encima con la facilidad que canta, es imprecionante, una de las joyitas que tenemos todabia tocando hoy en dia.

Como me gustaria poder verlo en vivo!!!!

@diamondjeff1 If he isn't the greatest (and I don't readily say that about anyone about most things), he's certainly close to it! I appreciate what he's done on the instrument. Because of his and others comments about what one does to be proficient with any instrument, I keep in my mind to practice, practice with consciousness.
