Benny Martin has no equal on the Fiddle; Period. In the early fifties I played music with his Brother Gene and Sister Joann on an A.M. station WMMT in McMinnville, Tn. Benny and his Sister Joann recorded a song together called "Gypsy, tell me my fortune." I have looked everywhere for the past 50 years but cannot locate a copy (record). Also, I cannot locate his song, "Torch of love." Benny was the master on the fiddle and all who came before or after him are just wanna bees.What a talent.
So amazing. I never knew videos of his shows for the army existed. Benny was the greatest. MisterHuskey, you must be related to Roy and Roy Huskey Jr. Thanks for posting this amazing footage.
my great great uncle.

One thing about Benny, His whole body plays the fiddle
He knew music. How the harmonies and overtones work. A brilliant man.
