    Gloria here from a little town called Stokes in North Carolina (couple hours from the capital, Raleigh). Saw you on Last Call the other night and new I had to get on the Ben-train ASAP!! Loving everything I'm hearing. Would love to see you on the east coast-preferably somewhere in NC. But I'd be willing to travel for ya. :)

    Hi there. I'm Adam. I don't usually tell people that online, but hey, why not. I'm currently a college sophomore from Queens, NY. I was first introduced to Radical Face on Pandora sometime at the beginning of this year, and I became a fan of Ghost one song at a time. By the time I was a fan of the whole album, The Roots was out, and it was on my list of new albums, so, naturally, I fell in love with it, and have been compulsively listening to it for the past couple weeks.

    Other things about me: I like comics (one of the things that stood out to me most when I first heard Welcome Home was a line that reminded me a scene from a Batman book), I write plays, I'm a media studies major, and...well, I'm sure there's more, but I think I'll end this here.

    Hi there,

    I'm Jakob, I live in Stockholm, Sweden now, studying film music and post production. Like all of you, a big fan of Ben. I also cry when I watch "The Lion King".

    That is totally brilliant!!! (Still keep thinking of the Disney film though... You're a Rooster with a Lute listening to that!! haha!) Y'know you can actually get the soundtrack on CD but it's a German Import..sooo tempting to get it, it is wonderful!! Would it be sooooo cheeky and out of line to request it for London ;)...(sorry if that is cheeky!! worth a shot haha!) Thank you!

    Hello there :) I'm Ellie, from Oxford in the UK. One of my best friends introduced me to our dear Ben here, and I've been a little obsessed ever since. Small side note of my pure and endless adoration for Welcome Home, not only was it the first RF song I heard but it said things to me that no song ever has before. So thank you Ben, for being generally the coolest person alive.

    Hi , I am Matthew from Australia. I heard Welcome Home on TV last year and then bought it off iTunes. Weird to say, but it helped me get through a couple of difficult months last year, so thanks for your music.

    Ello! People call me Joey I am from Montclair, California. Most people hear probably first heard you from Welcome Home! I can not really remember how I discovered you, it seemed like a calling. I was really bored one night and I was looking up weird band names and somehow came across this band from that. Do not ask me how many pages I searched while looking aha I was a bored man then. Oh yes, after searching that band I fell into a certain ditch near my house stuck with RF music on repeat on my iPod, took about a couple hours before my family noticed I was stuck. It didn't bother me because I went outside to get some quiet time with my new songs! So, after that day of events I haven't stopped listening to his music. It was first Radical Face then it spread to Electric President and from there almost every album he has released. That day got me by wonderfully even if I was stuck in a ditch. :) I can say that I use to listen to dubstep and now I can't acquire the taste for such music anymore. It's like Ben's music is a drug that hooks into your heart and stays as it makes No.1 on my chart.

    Hi there....Carolina from Texas. Radical Face came through on my Pandora about a week ago, and I've been listening to song after song every day since. My facebook friends are getting a good dose now too. Love it...would be incredible to hear a show someday.

    Thought I should post in here as well.
    I am Dennis, I live in Southern Wisconsin. I'm currently applying at MMI for Audio Engineering.
    I've found Ben at the age of 14 for as he was under Electric President. Ever since I decided to see who the master mind behind the beautiful work I had found Radical Face and Ben's little corner of the web. I've lurked his old forum for awhile but never posted, but I finally got the audacity to post in the appreciation thread a few days ago.
    Cheers to Ben's musical mastermind of mind drifting music!

    Hey there, I'm a new listener..Found Ghost Towns on itunes and have been hooked on Radcial Face and Ben's other works ever since...looking for anyone that might have the sheet music for piano for this beautiful song...Unfortunately, I was classically trained and don't have that wonderful ability to play be ear..and can't seem to find it anywhere on the net..Anyone know of where I can find it would be much appreciated! Other than that always mystified by how simple and heartfelt Ben's songs are, yet surprised by the level of difficulty behind them..Maybe that's why I like them so much.

    You could ask Ben or maybe in a few weeks I learn what note any song plays by ear I can try and meet your demand might take me a while though :eek:

    Ben doesn't write things down in the proper way either, he just has his own notation I believe or at least that's what he does with the guitar parts :p There is huge demand for the sheet music so if you manage to get it done Joey that would be amazing.
