Happy Birthday Ben

Well, today is my late brother's birthday and I don't have any new music of his to post so I've posted this clip from one of our favourite childhood films 'Way of the Dragon' (aka 'Return of the Dragon' in the US). This film had such an effect on me that when I went to Rome and visited the Collliseum all I could think was this was so cool 'cos this is where Bruce and Chuck had their epic battle (even though the actual fight was filmed on a set!). Similarly when I was in the main piazza in Venice I was picturing Roger Moore on that daft hovercraft car from Moonraker! There is some footage somewhere of me and Ben re-enacting this classic fight but I don't have the tape, it may be at Kipz' place, if I find it i'll post it on the blog.


I found the following video on Google recently that Spiney had posted featuring a track he and Ben had been involved in and he included the following tribute...

from the murky spiney history a piece done by the late ben phillips on ry30 , me on guitar its become a bit of a lump in my throat , but anyway its here for posterity , if a better copy should surface I will replace it , for all his faults BEN was one of the most naturally talented , & I still miss his hyper creativity & cheekiness , along with so many others I think I always will ...so wherever u are ben , they say you never die as long as someone remembers ....
