    1. They are awesome! I am far from being a good interviewer and I am awfully stiff but I really wanted to talk to those guys!

  4. dear ben, THANK YOU for another awesome piece of work – you truly are the Living Archivist of Tina! All your work is thoughtfully and lovingly woven and edited. Every ounce of your time and energy is deeply appreciated. One feedback: I feel the background sound track on this unnecessary and distracting. The content is strong enough on its own to not need background music.

      Thank you so much for your comment and kind words 🙏🏽
      Regarding the video, I struggled with that background music, wondering if I should add one or not. So I hear you and I’ll not forget it for future uploads. ☺️

  6. Very good interview and such amazing documentary! But in my modest opinion it was another missed opportunity to show to the fans and the new generations more about the amazing solo career Tina had…to much focus in her past with Ike…
    Thanks for your hard work and commitment!
