Johnny Bencomo

Highlight of today, Johnny Bencomo playing at the clubhouse, tickets for this wonderful event, same as last year, a measly $3.00 per person and he plays for at least 4 hours if not longer, he is booked for 2 hours but loves to entertain his audience, and that he does very well. If you do not remember him from last year, he sings and plays an 18 string guitar, only one in the world, also plays a 12 string and 6 string. Johnny has a unique style of playing and singing, can sing almost in any octave, we love listening to him. He plays at a café in Sierra Vista every Thursday (as well as other places) and we take every opportunity we can to enjoy his music while here. The clubhouse is the best as all folks are quiet while he is performing a song unlike a café where people chat while they eat, but still we enjoy a meal out and his music.

Sorry the pictures are not great, as you see the window was not covered, so light is a problem, he performed from 4:00 until after 8:00 pm, we left around 7, had to walk the dogs, cannot trust Muffin for more than 3 hours.

Tried to capture the emotion he puts into his singing.

Johnny is very knowledgeable and usually shares stories about the songs he sings as well as when written, by whom and who made them famous if they are songs he did not write or if he wrote the song, the story that led him to write the song.

Overall we had a relaxing day, warmer than yesterday with little wind!
