by Patrick Doyle
Please visit the Scent Veteran website at https://ScentVeteran.comAtmosphere as Art: Where Jazz Meets Scent Jazz has never belonged solely to the ear.

Ben Blankenship
Born:
I grew up in Enid, an Oklahoma town of about 45,000 people surrounded by wheat fields and known for huge grain elevators and a boom and bust oil economy. No one in my family is a musician, but there was always music around our house. In the music I play today, I recognize the influence of my parents vinyl record collection...large doses of Ray Price, Jim Reeves, Charlie Rich, Willie Nelson, and Waylon Jennings, a love of Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash I absorbed from my uncles, the sounds of Neil Young, Bob Marley, Frank Zappa, the Velvet Underground, Bob Dylan, the Grateful Dead, the Meat Puppets, Husker Du, the Replacements, the Beatles and the Stones through musical friends, and my mother singing Patsy Cline and Hank Williams songs she learned from her mother and father. At 10 I was given a Fender acoustic guitar and began to play.
