Today I’m thinking of Benny Turner. Benny Turner is a blues musician. The younger brother of Freddie King and was the bass guitarist for the Freddie King Band. After many years as a sideman, Turner started his solo career.
Christmas is coming & Benny has a Christmas song titled, “I Want Some Christmas Cheer. The song is written by Benny Turner. It’s on Nola Blue Records. The song is online everywhere.
You can tell by the way Benny Turner sings & writes that he knows something about Christmas. “I Want Some Christmas Cheer” Throughout the song, while he tells a story, he keeps singing that line. Finally he’ll say, “ Well it’s Christmas. There goes my Christmas cheer.” Benny let’s you know that Christmas is not always the way we want it to be.
We’ll we can only try to be happy & play some good old Christmas songs like Benny Turner’s Christmas single, I Want Some Christmas Cheer.
I’m Gail Nobles and this is Podcast & Blues.
