People // Les Bennett // Blog

I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi !  I have been performing, writing, and producing music for more than 35 years.  I am 46 and live in a very small town in Nebraska, USA.  I have a 6 year old son with autism so I am very busy with him.  I have more than 300 songs recorded and my goal is to write and record at least 30 more this year.  I am using MAGIX music maker 14, and I really like it so far.  I think the key to music making is not just the new tools that are out there, but how you use them.  I want to create new music that touches peoples souls.  I am working on a new song currently, and I will be posting it very soon.  I have never worked with anyone writing songs, so this will be new to me.  All of my former band mates tell me that I am like Hitler when it comes to music, so I want to be able to let other people collaborate with me, and see what happens.  Although I play mainly guitar, I also play bass, drums, keyboards, and vocals.  My main style of music focus is pop, but I am open to all new kinds of music.  I want to leave the oldies in the past where they belong, and focus on the future.  Please check out my stuff, and if you like, join me in bringing a little happiness to the world.  Yours in song, Les Bennett
