    This is fabulous. Looks like his original guitar he used back in the 70’s and 80’s. And I’m willing to bet he can still skate too 😃. Love George Benson. Takes me back to a simpler time🙏❤️

    Never realized how tough playing guitar was until I took it up a few years ago. As a result I've acquired a bad back along with intermittent muscle spasms. The very fact that Mr. Benson was performing like this at the age of 70 is truly phenomenal.

      Bad posture will do that to you. Gotta lift and do back exercises to keep your back strong, especially against uneven weight due to guitars.

      I know what you mean. Though I just love Benson’s guitar, it’s a tough beast to play on long live sets standing up. My MIJ Strat is one of my go-to live guitars because of how light and comfortable it is to play.

    My favorite all time jazz performer, and one of my top 3 guitarist of all time! I found out about George Benson in 1976, when I was 14 years old. I have grown up listening to and enjoying the Magic that is George Beson. I was fortunate to have seen him and Al Jarreau in concert in September of 2007, front row center in Tucson, AZ. I was 15 feet away from the stage. That was a night to remember! Thank you Mr. George Benson!!!

    Just a genius whom at his golden days could play and sing a huge variety of styles as a master in all of them. 76 years old in 2020 and still playing and singing every now and then, that's not for everyone!

    I've been listening to this man's amazing music some more than well since 1976 even found his old recordings on the CTI label when it was George Benson quartet and he blew my mind first concert Hofstra University 1977 tickets 48th row Center Stage 6 bucks each. Total silence while this genius played someone yelled out make it long and make it sweet Benson answer "are you ready to go home". He meant was that his Encore song have not been played for an hour and 45 minutes he stood holding that jazz guitar mesmerizing me. I've owned every single recording of his music and to this day it not only calms me, makes me cry, makes me glad but I'm always impressed by the genius with which he expresses himself in music. I've been fortunate enough to see him two more times in concert last and 4th chance he was in Tampa the tickets were over $100 and couldn't afford to go so instead I sat here and played his records CDs tapes whatever I had in the order they were released and hadbmy own concert. He's now I believe 72 or 73 and still as impressive as he was when I was 26 years old and it just discovered him. Now a new generation is hearing his music and learning to appreciate the Brilliance of this man, as he unlocked the Glory of his music when my world goes upside down. so thank you Mr. George Benson you have been one of the joys of my live, a healer and an inspiration. You set the bar high for other musicians and you skill still gives me pleasure. So thank you for a great many years of pleasure. Just an FYI the song Cell Phone I discovered just after my husband passec away. You hot all the right parts if my heart, had to pul, over and cry, i hadn't until tnen. So you started mh healing. I often wonder how many others h ave had similar reactions. So I thsnks you for th e joy you've adcec to my life. God please keep blessing this amszing man.
