You've turned down Bright Avenue, Bob Bennett's byway on the Information Superhighway. Welcome! This street is always under construction, but we hope you find your visit worthwhile despite the occassional wet tar or pothole. We also hope your travels lead you back here in the near future, as construction proceeds. In the meantime, there's already lots you'll find...

Here On Bright Avenue:

• Bob's Bio
• Discography
• Articles and Interviews
• Career Highlights
• Contact Information

• The Bob Bennett Web Page
  Graciously hosted by devoted Bennett fan Jay Rinkel.
• "Another Bob Bennet Fan Page
  Equally graciously hosted by a recent Bennett "convert," Annie Angelsong.

Small Graces

Click below to hear soundbites from Small Graces. The RealAudio soundbites dowload relatively quickly, but have mediocre sound quality. The MP3 soundbites have very good sound quality, but take 3 times as long to download (it's worth the wait!). If you don't have a player for either type of soundbite, drop by our Soundbite Player/Encoder Info Page.

These soundbites are mono, about 1 minute long:

• Small Graces: RealAudio or MP3
• The Only Risk Worth Taking: RealAudio or MP3
• Jesus In Our Time: RealAudio or MP3

Newsworthy...

• BMG's "Sound and Spirit" CD club has been offering its members Small Graces at a discount.
• Jamsline magazine published an article on Bob on the occassion of the release of Small Graces: check out Jamsline's Bio of Bob Bennett. It includes a RealAudio soundclip of "Small Graces," currently high on the inspirational music charts. You can also order Small Graces online at Jamsline.
• 777 Music currently has Bob's 1991 release Songs from Bright Avenue available at their web site.
• There is an online distributor collecting orders for some of Bob's out-of-print recordings: Jacob's Ladder. Though they don't currently have access to stock, a sufficient number of orders may encourage a new CD print run, so do place an order if you are interested. Many thanks to Shannon Cason for locating this resource for us!

Chord Charts

Here's our first chord chart: Hand of Kindness, from Small Graces. This chart has the lyrics and fretboard diagrams. The diagrams are in "PSFret" notation: the fingerings for the basic chord are notated in the usual way (solid dots where you should fret notes; open circles where open strings should ring; "X" where an open string should not be played). In addition, extra notes to add after fingering the basic chord (e.g., for a bass run to the next chord) are notated with triangles and squares (play them in that order: triangle notes, then squares). Enjoy!

Our second chord chart: Man of the Tombs, from Lord of the Past.
