NEW RELEASE

SPECIAL GIVEAWAY

Amazing Grace is an iconic melody to say the least. I have heard so many wonderful musicians sing and play this powerful tune through the years. The one that will always amaze me is Aretha Franklin’s version on her extraordinary recording Amazing Grace. In addition, I was very moved by the Bill Moyer’s documentary Amazing Grace. To launch this web site, I am giving away my arrangement. I would like to thank Joseph Shields for generously copying the arrangement.

Welcome, Friends:

After years of badgering from family, friends and students to build a new web site I have finally done it!! It would not have happened with out the great help of my management, my children, John and Mitsuko, Jackson Braider, Seymour Bernstein and most importantly, the wonderful web designer Monica Ong.

From month to month I plan to make more of my scores and arrangements available. In addition, I will continue to write my “deep thoughts", share some guitar tips, post new photos, add more Alumni and their news, teaching tips, tell you where I am and who knows, maybe even post some vegan recipes! Until Then!

Peace, Love and Guitars,

Ben
