Ben Martin-Mooney. A mighty name with a mighty bearer.
Ben. Martin. Mooney. His name rings like a bell in the clear morning air.
Ben was born on such a morning, many years ago, a man destined for greatness.
With a winning smile and a silver tongue, he grew to greatness quickly and easily.
Ben has many interests and skill, the greatest of which is his
incredible musical ability. Being the manly stud that he is, Ben decided
to choose the oh so cliché instrument of choice among men of his calibre;
the baroque recorder. At Oberlin, he found the historical
performance major he required to complete his greatness. However, upon
arriving at Oberlin, he was confronted by a greatness that surpassed even
his own; the epic power of The Obertones. While Ben's greatness was mighty
indeed, this greatness overwhelmed him. But rather than being consumed, Ben's
greatness melded with that of the Obertones', creating an amalgam of greatness
greater than any greatness ever known.
