So glad that Ben was convinced to move to Olympia, and ended up taking a room at the Heavy Meadow. It was such a pleasure being around such a prolific songwriter, and always bringing the chill-good vibes. His music is such an experience; full of the wonderful twist-and-turn transitions anyone could ever hope for, and the kinds of songs that you always hear something new happening upon each new listen. Please please please listen to his music under his own name, the one, the only: Ben Varian. I really miss Benny boy now that he's down in L.A. but I know that whenever I see him, it'll be great. Stoked he's "part of my ya'll". Allyson Yarrow Pierce is a beautiful human with a beautiful voice, that I have had the sweet pleasure to record some of her tunes, and am stoked that she is down in L.A. makin' my benny boy a real happy dude. Is she still on facebook? If so, someone let her know to hit me up so we can catch up!
