It is my HONOR to be invited to this wonderful celebration, however, between rehearsals travel and gigs, I am unable to attend.
There are few of us left to have seen the “biz” grow into adulthood…We hold up the banner of musical integrity, personal responsibility, spiritual stability and hard work. We share this ethic with ALL of our children by example and in guidance.
Mr. Bennie Maupin is, no doubt, the authentic article. I have put him on the radar of many young musicians who think they know “it.” I tell them…”when you think you have found “it”…look again, Grasshopper”. Happy Birthday, Brother Bennie. May your light continue to illuminate all of our paths. YOU ROCK!
