Podcast 145: Ben Harper

Today we’re talking to the one-and-only Ben Harper. Ben tells us
about a very special guitar he just received from
luthier John Monteleone. It's the first lap steel guitar that
Monteleone has ever made, a guitar that John has dubbed a
Radio City Special Deluxe (see pictures and video at
fretboardjournal.com). 


In addition to talking about the origin of his Monteleone guitar,
we talk to Ben about his new Reverb store, some
recent recording projects (including a session with
jazz player Bruce Bishop) and a lot more.
