Benny Martin was one of the greatest fiddle players ever. He played with most of the early great bluegrass bands. Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs, etc. Anyone who can listen to the second fiddle break on "I'll Go Stepping Too" and not get chill bumps, is not a true bluegrass lover. I will be listening to the "Big Tige" as long as I live. Thank you Benny for all you did for bluegrass music. You set the standard for others to strive to reach.
