Singer of the Month!!! Benjamin Cerf

Benjamin Cerf, Bass and Concertina
Benjamin is a mischevious man of mysterious heritage. Some say he is a Frenchman, others claim he came out of the dust in a black coat. Here in Stop Shopping Land we know him as a kind of Renaissance Man, cultured with tools, gadget savvy with dirty boots, sophisticated and wild....Benjamin is a happy traveler and a generous friend, he is unhesitatingly helpful and kind. We love him.

You have to see him dance during our Stop Shopping song. If he was black, I would insist that he join the Temptations because he's cool like that.
Ben is a silly ass mofo and I love cackling with him over absurd things. I cannot see a party being boring with him there.
In all seriousness though, over the past few months, I've noted a seriousness about Ben, a sort of quiteness that I have never seen or just never noticed.
It becomes him. He's quite the pirate, he'll always be that but now I see him really coming into his own as a man, an artist and a friend. He is such an asset to the choir. I can't say enough about Benjamin Cerf but I'll end with a fond I love you and I will say that I adore my Sea Monkey!

Bass of the month
I have learned many things as a student at the feet of our dear leader.
First of all, it's really just better to never wear t-shirts. There are very few people who can make that look good.
For seconds, pick a color and stick with it. I have yet to fully grasp this concept, but I see it working each and every single day for Mr. Cerf, as he continues to look dashing in black and red.
Thirdly, ATTACK the camera. I'm sure that everyone in the choir has had that experience of seeing a bad photo of themselves, only to spot Benjamin, looking ever the dapper dandy, nearby in that same photo. Not one person, save MiSun, has proven capable of looking as good as consistently in the photograpy world.
And lastly, one must not need KNOW how to dance if one is versed in FAKING a proper dance.
Go forth and conquer, my good man!

Some say...
Beneath that 'stachioed face and voice of thunder is a man who's full of wonder.

Love Mother Benn
Benjamin Cerf is a magical being.
He is delightful and delighted.
He has the wildest twinkle in his eye and more playful than a cat with a ball of string
and yet grounded and honest and more dependable than anything.
He will wow you with his musicality and deep rock voice
and speak to you in French, German or another language of your choice.
He loves revelry with community and brings joy to friends
Where there is trouble, he will do what he can to make amends.
Where there is spirit and joie de vivre, there is Benjamin!
Where there is funky soul, there is Benjamin!
Where there is red and black, there is Benjamin!
Where there is rousing mischief and happy revolution, there is Benjamin!
Where there is love, there is Benjamin!
love

Congrats Ben! I'll drink a
