Scott Bennett (holding the 12-string guitar in this picture) was one of the most intuitive and creative musicians that I’ve worked with. He played many bass and guitar parts and even some percussion on several of my CD projects. He was kind, gentle and expressive beyond expectation with is music. He didn’t wave his ego when working with me in Jim Ratts’ recording studio. Laughter was just part of his personal vocabulary and he used it often. His hugs were grand, yet soft and he only wanted the best for those around him. After a long battle he died on Saturday. It’s hard to imagine putting together my recordings without “Scotty sprinkles”. He’ll be missed and my heart is heavy.
