Benny started playing guitar at the age of 14 with money he had earned from
his newspaper route. From the beginning all of his style was learned on his
own or from records. He has never taken any guitar lessons. Another fact of
interest about Benny is that he is a southpaw player like his biggest influence,
Jimi Hendrix.
Within a few years he and brother Danny were hosting jams at clubs around
Houston which included such future stars as Johnny & Edgar Winter and Billy
Preston. These are times Benny & Danny talk about alot as very influential in
their styles and tastes in music.
After a tour of Vietnam with the Marines in the late '60s where he found
himself at the seige at Khe Sanh Benny returned to Houston in 1969 to
concentrate on good ol' Texas Blues being very glad to be alive when alot of
the guys he had known in Vietnam did not make it back at all.
Benny played with several different bands during the 70s, including Houston
Natural Gas, Mandrake and Rattlesnake with Johnny Winter. Benny got lucky
and came to the attention of Freddie King and was honored to be able to play
in Freddie's band for a while in 1972. In the Freddie King Band Benny was
able to play the true Texas Blues he enjoyed the most every night.
Thru it all Benny's first love is Texas Blues which you will find plenty of on
Surrounded by the Blues along with some tasty blues rock. With the help of
Kaz Kazanoff on sax, Riley Osbourn on keyboards and Derek O'Brien on
guitar Benny has made a very diverse blues album with Surrounded by the
Blues.
Benny lost his battle with liver cancer and passed away
January 11, 2006. His take no prisoners style will
be missed by his many fans, a truly gifted guitar player.
Peace Be With You Benny
