BITS & PIECES:

I have a very special friend Wes Bensching whose music blows me away. Here is what people are saying about it:
Wes Bensching is a true music Mosaicist who weaves his instrumental sounds into a creative law of writing and producing.
He takes small pieces of inlaid notes formulated from several instruments to create a mosaic sound of slowly tiered water moving allowing the mind to travel to imaginary Islands of peaceful joy.
Playing Bensching's style of music is background for a relaxing evening, a candlelight dinner or keep one calm while organizing the studio office before filling the mind with the clutter of the day.
You can find titles such as Glowing Windchimes, Dragon Fly, Castles are Blue, Sister I love and Out the Window at iTunes.

I am out to save my friends the red-headed woodpeckers whose homes are being destroyed. They are on the declining species list. I am upset. Hopefully I have the Arkansas Game & Fish and the Audubon Society (I am a member.) helping me save their tree homes.
