The Sinister Cult of Mr. Ben

 While I was on paternity leave Noah joined his first cult.  Both of us fell prey to the smooth sounds of Mr. Ben, Portland's premier children's musician who puts on a heck of a show each Tuesday morning.  Noah and I went to three different Mr. Ben concerts.

When Mr. Ben sings, children obey.

I made sure my parents got the Mr. Ben experience during the show.  Even George "pops" Tucker was impressed as he commented "That guy has a hell of a lot of patience." Trust me, that expression on his face is one of unrestrained joy.

Mr. Ben preaching to his dark minions.  He always brings the house down during his Twinkle Twinkle Little Star/ ABC's encore.

If you play Mr. Ben's songs backwards they all tell his followers to sleep.
