Now you're talking my language. Anyone who knows me knows that Ben Vaughn is my musical hero. Any discussion of Ben's stuff has my full attention.
I am always on the lookout for BV stuff: rare, live, demo. Trades welcome. And I am also always interested in spreading the gospel of BV with a nifty little CDR "best of" that I made for someone earlier this year.
So, if you're so inclined, contact me off-list and we'll talk.
Remember: "if it has more than three chords, it's jazz" - BV
