Brother Ben Written in the Spring of 2007 We wrote this song one evening at Jeff's house at the pool table. I had the start, but only an idea of a brother song, and the first line or two... within an hour or so we had all of the words and a cool melody. Sounds a bit like Handsome Molly, so we have been told, but then, only a little bit. (As if many bluegrass songs don't have some similar strains and bits....) This is a fun song to play and folks seem to really like it. Started out a bit slower, but now we play it pretty quick. I believe the first time it was debuted was at a CD release party for Shelly Asbury in Flat Rock Michigan at the Eagles Club. Our friend, Jimmy Thompson really like this song. It would have been Brother Steve, in honor of Jeff's little brother, however, Steve did not work right in the song... and hence... the change in the name! We hope you will enjoy this song.
