I met the Bender Family at the 2011 Guitar Foundation of America where I gave a lesson to Kenneth, son of Robert and Katherine. Beyond the obvious talent Kenneth possessed, I found Robert to be very talented with the camera and a wonderful guy to talk to.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I visited and stayed with them in 2012 on a run of southern California concerts. Catherine joined me the following New Years for an excellent adventure of music, BBQ and friendship. The painting at right was done in 2012. I love the energy, vivid colors, and my Spock-like ears!! (Better to hear the timbres!). Hands, waves, love…what else. They also have two large puppies, who are always on hand for music on the guitar .<\/p>\n

The husband and wife duo also do some beautiful ceramic work.\u00a0As a thank you for teaching, I received a gift from Kenneth that hangs on my music wall.\u00a0\"\"We have other works by them. As I get a pictures I will add them to this post.<\/p>\n

Check out their work at Karob Studios<\/a>, and visit when in Southern California!<\/p>\n
