I already had a huge respect for Ben. Now I have even more!
The beauty is being together, I have great memories of this place because of Mr. Chase and his beautiful family, thank you for sharing all your gifts!
Ben, this video is a gift and an endless source of inspiration for anyone. I'm glad i was able to come across this treasure on RUclips. I could go on, but I'd always find the same word, it is a wonderful gift.
Your mother and you are inspiring people! Thanks for sharing!
20年前にレンタルして見た映像だ。この楽器屋のイメージが頭に残っていて、憧れがあった。ベンハーパーの音楽性が培われた環境を感じる。
It's so cool to see Ben playing with his mom.... I was already a fan of Ben's work but from now on, I'm even bigger fan of his mother, since I not only greatfull for her music, but also for raising Ben! Thanks Helen!
This documentary is a very sweet loving history of your family. Now I see where and why you have such a talent and passion for music. Your Mama is beautiful in many ways.
Imagine having a parent whose soul is so intrinsically connected to your own through music, genetics, and love. I'm blessed enough to have that with my father.
Love this - played the store open stage and met your Mom years ago. Was very taken with the place and space - we were in laguna beach for a couple of months on business - at one point after like my third visit to the store your Mom asked "what do you want?" - I didn't have an answer for her. How could I say as a poet and songwriter the "space" full of things that have created so much music in the hearts and hands of thousands attracted me - it was the shared energy of the space and things in that place. Watching this video I was inspired to answer her question today. Love that you've shared songs - I've done the same with my niece and there is something special about family making music - a house is a home - for sure always - even when we can't live together - family is always connected so deeply by love and that kind of love never fades. My best to all - Mario
Wow..what a family tree🌉
Very touching Beautiful and moving😅❤😊
Let me start by saying I adore this man and his music. 20 years ago I was totally a big ben groupie, flying all over the US to see his shows and just be in his presence. I used to paint handmade t-shirts and give them to him at his shows in New York, Philly, and Chicago. (I hope you remember this, Ben) His music means so much to me. I have written lesson plans for his music. Shared the beauty of his work with my students. I truly loved watching this and seeing/hearing him sing with his mother. I now have even more reasons to adore him. He knows what's important in life....Family. Even more than music. But music is pretty damn important, too. For Mr. Harper, music and family are intertwined. Thanks for making this and sharing this.
Thank you.
2 words... Beautiful harmony!
This is the grit and the glory right here! My work day was just so very different listening to the two of you. Reminds me of my boy pictured with me. Taught him to play when he was itty bitty errrr so I thought, now he schools me... Gotta love it! Cheers ~
Very beautiful
Bellissimo GRAZIE!!!
straordinario suono divino personalità fantastica mi piace davvero!!!
e' veramente un grande! E poi questo e' cosi' intimo con la madre e che storia familiare stupenda
Beautiful tribute to a wonderful family and legacy.
Grande ben!
They were on NPR this morning.
Omgoodness this is a beautiful documentary. I have always admired Ben and this gives so much insight into his music and style. Keep spreading the love. I’m so ready for Monday’s show! D-Townnnnn
Thank you for sharing this beautiful collaboration.
Thank you Ben. This is just what I needed today to help quell the insanity of this world. Much love to you and yours
OMG love the way that clinch films, can't wait for this album to come out !!!
Meh, the grainy effects and whatnot were annoying.
This was really lovely to watch~ thankyou for filming this and sharing it with us :)
Loved seeing Charles again. When I left working at the store, Charles sold me some of the broken fixer upper instruments in the back room. One of them was an early entry level Gibson. With a plastic bridge. I built a Rosewood bridge and put on some Shaller tuners. It is my favorite guitar to play. Thanks for the memories.
This is a wonderful video. I'm so happy to have found it.
Getting gray man! See you in Indianapolis on June 13 for my birthday. Couldn't ask for more! I'll be bringing my Chinese in-laws to their first concert before they go back to China and wife. If you can play "Gold to Me" and/or "Ground on Down" that be rad (yes I grew up in the 90s).
Miss the folk music store was from that area. Ben's grandfather Charles was always such a joy to see. I love how far Ben has come. Will be buying collaboration with his mom very cool

P.S. Your Grandparents would be so proud!
With a mother like that there's no wonder he became the artist he's now.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL story... touches your soul. Thank you for sharing your story.
So much talent and such a gorgeous man.
This brought tears to my eyes! So amazing, can't wait to see them live in Paris!
I love this family, and I love that store. Ellen once sold me one of her own banjos, which I spotted in the background. That was super cool.

Ben, my.man!! I hope you read this.message. I was your provider, server Rosie, of the delicious.beer, fisher, when you stayed at the Biltmore. You gave us your whole collection of cds, autographed to me . What can I said? I am sooooo happy to.learned so much about you, your parents, granparents, and hearing your lovely sister sing and share with you good memories.
This is so touching! Thank you!
not just music should not have boundaries , formats, structures , all art's should be like this !All life ! But unfortunately the market, the marketing, the sellers don't want to have this ! Racism starts here, mental racism is nothing else than fear , fear from the unknown , the non-usual .....as my grandpa used to say : "as long as you keep the doors open, nobody wants to climb through the windows "
i was outside with my Board- i can not do it a lot of times... no matters but i done i think 1 of the last times... i enjoyed more like the most ever can do... i do it allways ;-) i knowing nothing ;-) :-* :-* :-*
awesome! beautiful thing. Appreciate your mothers while you can!
"What a wild place to grow up!"
I found this really rather moving.....kinda choked me up tbh

I really enjoyed viewing this documentary of mother and son connecting musically. What a gift they both share harmoniously, and seemingly understand each other personally. Absolutely beautiful together.❤️
nice
This is so beautiful. Thank you.
How wonderful ! Mother and son playing music together is such a special way of bonding...such a great sound!
My son Sean introduced me to your duet, "Memories of Gold"....which we plan to play and sing at our next
Family Practice" meeting this Thursday evening. Sean sings and plays guitar, I sing and play the piano, my daughter, Amy signs and plays hand percussion and my granddaughter sings and plays guitar, as well.
I can't wait to hear our version of "Memories of Gold".
Thank you for all of your heartfelt music.
Mary Parker
love this documentary. Check www.mostlyfolk this Thursday 7/2/15 for 3 songs form Ben and Ellen Harper.
Wow sooo beautiful 💋💋💋🌈🥰
people that don't like this are ignorant.
Well it might not be someone's cup of tea, but I wouldn't say someone is ignorant because they dislike something...
What more can be said about such a kindred and talented family. What a loving Mother/Son music documentary. It's allways a Gr8 pleasure to enter their"shrine"
Peace Love and Understanding y'all
I've known his music for 20 years, he's been a huge part of 15 yo me wanting to start playing an instrument 18 years ago, but I'm still discovering the man today, as a father willing to give my musical legacy to my daughter. What an amazing family story, thank you for 20 and counting years of inspiration!
Beautiful documentary
Ben is the best description of a gentleman. ....And that's just his foundation!
Thank you Ellen and Ben from bottom of my Heart , trully beautiful !!! , thank you Danny for this documentary
