I believe that you and the Horseflies put together the music for one of my favorite all time movies, "Where The Rivers Flow North".1993
I think it's a great movie and I love the music that sets the atmosphere. Being a north woodsman myself your music takes me to the deep forest lake that was part of my youth.
Can you direct me to the soundtrack for that movie or similar music by the Horseflies? I can't seem to find it.
Hope you can help me - thanks at any rate.

Hey Ben,
Almost 30 years. Emailed with Gina A re: putting together a set with Gary Frost, you, Noble? to play at the 30th next year. Let me know if you are interested. Could be good fun.

Saw you playing with Paula Cole at Lowry. You were awesome on those drums and I thought you were pretty darn cute even before I knew anything about you. I did some research-quite impressive are your accomplishments. Do you ever send out signed pictures? If so,I would love to have one of you with your drums (I would put it on my locker at home depot) If not,forgive me. I am 40 something and am clueless as to what musicians do nowdays. Oh-and think you look great bald!

As a drummer who started playing in 1962 and seeing/hearing all the changes in pop and folk and jazz over the years I do not exaggerate when I say the the taste/skill of using sound and silence together dynamiclly to create the work that you have done over the span of your career
is more than enough to at times bring me to tears. I can't describe how much I like some of this music.

Thanks you for your music and your groove tonight in the A-trane!
I really enjoyed any single beat.
I wanted to tell you that in person,but my bad cold destroyed any brilliant thought I might have had...especially in english:o)
So...subsequently:
Great! Please send me your news,so I can´t miss you next time playing in Berlin.
Regards

Hi Ben!
We met on 5th avenue they day before yesterday... I took your photo w/ Melissa. I've really enjoyed looking at your site. What amazing work you've done! Yungchen Lhamo is my hero, and the summer of '94 just wouldn't have been the same without The Story.
Hope our paths cross again, neighbor.

Hey Ben!
this is Heather, who helped out on the Dance Exchange's Mining Project. I just discovered that you played percussion for Boy With a Fish on their album. I've been a fan of them and the Horseflies for awhile. What a coincidence! Hope you are well.
best

Ben, I was so happy to discover all you've been doing since I saw you last (1982). The two CD's you did with The Story are my absolute favorites! You are an amazing and talented soul and I hope we one day cross paths on our life's journey. Know that you are highly respected and thought of often.
