Thanks Grog!
Nixon, you too.
Conga,, Hair? What Hair? I was trimming it and the clip slipped off the shears and before I knew it there was a 4 inch bald swath so after I got over the shock and heart attack I just went with it and evened it out. Thanks too for your kind words...
HAPPYHAPPYHAPPYYYYYY, We are in Vegas right now and will be through Sunday. I have a couple or 3 pieces I might sell for the right price if anyone's interested.

Thanks Guys, you Know I love you all even though I don't post here very often. I am gonna try to be here more in the future so keep an eye out and you can always find me at face book too. (Benzart Davis)
The Vegas trip was Awesome, Frankies was a Very Memorable Party. Also went with Buzzy and Zaya to the Desert hideaway Mojave Oasis and spent an Incredible night and viewed all the transformations there for the first time. Awesome work on all artists involved too!
Buzzy latched on to the Best of all the pieces I had, The palm frond Lono.
latched on to the Best of all the pieces I had, The palm frond Lono Thanks Buzzy, I had a feeling long ago this one was destined for you...Strange the way things work out.
Some pieces are still available when finished so if you see any you like, PM me and we can work something out.
After they fix my back (delayed a week from a nasty cold brought back from Vegas, IF I get over it by Tuesday)I may just do some Big Benzarts,,, We'll see.
Also I won't be at Hukilau this year so if any of you would like to see me and get a lesson or tip or two message me and come see me, I'm only a bit over an hour north and I'm sure a group of you could easily make the trip.
Happy happy HAPPEEEE.

It was so great to see you and Sherry! I had such a fun time at Frankie's, and was so lucky to find the best seat in the house while we were there. 
I can't wait until the next time we can all be together again!
