The year 1979, I remember that day being sunny and beautiful. I was 5 years old and It was me and my father just hanging out. I remember him saying too me let's go to the store. We went to the store and we was looking around, for what I don't know, but I do know it wasn't for food .But I do know we were looking in the music department and being that young I did not know who was who but I did know the albums and 8 track tapes had funny looking people on the covers.
Anyway my dad picked up this album. On the cover a guy with his arms streched out and a guitar in his hand, thats the only thing I remember. We took the album and listened to it and I remember this guy singing and playing this guitar. I asked my dad how is he doing that? And my dad looked at me and shrugged his shoulders and said "I don't know."
Well now it's the 90's and I have a 5 year old son and the same album that me and my dad listen to, me and my son listen too. It was funny, he was looking at the album and he asked me daddy who is this and I said his name is George Benson. We were listening to GB and he also told me daddy he has the same guitar like you and how does he do that? I looked at him with a smile and I said like this son.
