We kept the 33@1/3rds and the 45's hot on the RCA player and Ben would write down the songs we would make our "show list". With our young [15 to 17 ] age we started to mold the sound together. The very first Ravens band was made up by Larry Williams, Charlie McCord Eddy Bunge and that super dude...Benny Mahan. We were together for several years and played every venue in S.W. Mo. The most fun was playing The Cockatoo road house near Aurora. Mike Breid joined us when Larry and KC guitarist Nolan Thompson left in late 1960. Breid, McCord, myself [Bunge] and Mahan were the main Ravens for 2 years. I have so many beautiful memories of that Band and will cherish them until I die. We were a "Band of Brothers" I love them all to this day. It was a honor to have started with Benny's first Band. Love you Ben.....EAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5675730495733914435.post-17127201089241571532012-04-16T07:13:45.988-05:002012-04-16T07:13:45.988-05:00Was getting ready for a trip to Springfield and de...Was getting ready for a trip to Springfield and decided to see if Benny was still playing in town. What a shock to see he has died. In 1968 he was rockin'' steady and we danced to his music every Saturday night. He would humor us with top 40 hits, but mostly played his unique blend of rock and jazz. And he was a kind man and friend to all.<br /><br />He is surely playing guitar and singing heavenly rock!<br />Good bye my friend.Gladysnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5675730495733914435.post-88115330930117724052012-03-09T01:01:42.656-06:002012-03-09T01:01:42.656-06:00What a wonderful idea-these are just beautiful!

For those of us aspiring to sing like Benny Mahan back in the late 60s and early <br />70s, all I can say is, if you weren't there, you missed one of the best singers I've ever heard. I've been in Nashville for over 30 years and that is still true! He will be missed.pjacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10689884736694440648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5675730495733914435.post-35881850852546998412009-09-27T10:00:03.051-05:002009-09-27T10:00:03.051-05:00wunderle, searching for stuff this morning about B...wunderle, searching for stuff this morning about Benny to send to an old friend in Tennesee.

Sorry to hear Benny didn't make it. You guys have had something special up there for many years. And thanks to guys with your passion / vision, whatever it is. The torch gets passed on. Music makes this life tolerable.
