   About Benton Stokes
Ok, so my name is Benton and I'm not all that good at talking about myself. But since I know you're reading this because you want to know something about me, I'll try to come up with something. I write songs - I have for almost all my life. I'm not saying they were all good, but they were, in the literal sense, songs. I think over the years, I've learned what good songs are and I aspire to write more good ones than not-so-good ones. I'll let you be the judge. The songs here are a collection of observations and introspections written over the last three years. I put them together on a project called Grace & Gravity - a project that took nearly two years to complete. They express my hope and faith, my frustration and reality and my quest to love and love well. I hope you enjoy what you hear and will tell your friends - both the myspace kind and the kind you see occasionally or often or not often enough. Drop me a comment and let me know what you think. Thanks for listening. Benton

Hey Kev! I wanted to let you know that I FINALLY got my promotion to ASM! *happydance* I also wanted to let you know that I miss you more than words. This year's summer breeze brought me back to Summer Breezes of years past. I hope you're doing well, and I'm praying things are going your way. P.S. When do I get a coveted copy of your CD?! I'm waiting with baited breath... *wink*

Hey do you know how many that cd sold? Right at 35,000. They are re-releasing it digital on the internet. Surprisingly their best selling worship project to date. We need to co-write pretty soon. I'll let you know when I'm coming into town and we'll meet at Music Central.
