Little Benny (of Little Benny & the Masters) passed away on May 30, 2010

If you all like Go Go Music like I do, I was shocked to hear that 46 year old Little Benny (aka Anthony Harley) passed away on May 30, 2010. The last time I saw him perform was at the 9:30 Club when Chuck Brown did his birthday celebration on 8-22-2009.

...Listen, Cat in the Hat, Used to do smack, Now he talk crack, You can't take back...Take it away, take it away, take it away...

Here are a few pics I took at the show:
