Listen in on my Ben Harper interview

I had an interview with Ben Harper a couple weeks back (me and about 10 other journalists, actually), the results of which appear in Friday's Calendar section and its online counterpart. This time I got the full audio of the interview we all did while he was waiting to perform on "The Tonight Show." I used to post the audio from my artist interviews quite often a couple years back. It can be a time-consuming process, however, and I haven't found the time to do it lately. Luckily for me and you, the place that set up the conference call sent me an mp3 of the call, which makes it a heck of a lot easier to get it to the peeps. Listen to the whole 42-minute shabang right here if that trips your trigger. I found Ben to be a real down-to-earth guy. I come in at about the 17-minute mark.

The bad part about conference calls is you don't get to ask many questions. The good part is some of the other writers ask better questions that I would have anyway.
