So, I checked my mail today and what to my wondering eyes did appear, but an amazing signed Ben Harper CD!

I pre-ordered it off of his site a while back and it arrived well before the release date! Gotta love that! :mrgreen:

    I got it yesterday, and it came with a perk :shock:

    I attended the small private acoustic show he held in Milan last night. It was absolutely glorious. And then lined up to have the CD signed. I told him today was going to be my 40th birthday and this had been the best gift ever. He looked me and asked me for my name, and then wrote: Happy 40 Julia! Ben Harper.

    How cool is that?!

    And then I took his hand, not his picture :)
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    I waited too long to get an autograpged copy. found out about it here, and they were all gone. :( I hope newbury comics has some extras later on. still looking forward to hearing the album though.

    I wish PJ would do signed copies as pre sale.

    very nice - thanks for posting!

    Love this part:

    MR: My pleasure. Also, the sentiment of that song is beautiful. So, you're going to be touring for this album?

    BH: We are going to tour this record long and strong.

    MR: Where are you heading?

    BH: Man, I want to go everywhere, I really do. I want to tour this record as I think it's worthy of being toured--as far reaching as possible. I'd like to get to Eastern Europe...never been there before except once, opening for Pearl Jam in Poland. It was a great experience, and I'd like to get there more. I'd like to get back to Chile. I'd like to get to Brazil with this record, and Australia, New Zealand, and Japan--when the time is right, to go back to Japan, obviously.

    well i'm an idiot....i dragged my feet on pre-ordering due to an unexpected financial burden (wisdom teeh removal), had it in my head that I had gone back and ordered and now realize i never did. Man, my head has been so far up my ass :lol:

    Oh well, anyone else interested can listen here if you aren't going to download it......
    http://www.myspace.com/benharper

    I'm listening now....really liking it
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
