SO here is the part where he talks about Spencer :

“Nezi: Obviously the Spencer Bell Legacy shows mean a lot to you guys. What does it mean to you that the shows sell out so quickly, knowing that people want to show up and celebrate Spencer’s life with you all?

Ben G: Well, that’s exactly what we hoped would happen. Because yeah, the goal that I’ve got in my heart is for everyone in the world to be able to hear one or two of Spencer’s songs and to be able to connect with his artwork. And the fact that people receive it so well and that “Brain” has been so well received, his most recent album that came out, you know, just makes me certain that we can keep doing this. It’s gonna take off and people are gonna get the most out of the artwork that he created during his lifetime, which was why he created it. He wanted people to see it and he wanted people to be affected by it. So things like the Trees show down in Dallas are exactly what you want to have happen. You know, it’s like a dream come true.

Ben talks about Spencer Bell’s latest album, “Brain”:

Ben G: Yeah, you’ve gotta order it or you can listen to it on the Spencer Bell Legacy website. That’s the newest album that Ben Johnson produced and it’s absolutely fantastic. It’s got some tracks of his that haven’t been released to the public yet. We’re covering a couple of tracks off of “Brain”, we’ll be doing those on the upcoming tour dates and stuff.”

Ain’t it sweet ? Oh if someone is going to a Monkey show and you here a song from Brain ,tell us!
