Ronny...it's the same video. Yours didn't work either since the 'h' was
left off the http :) (just have to scan from the www on)....
...and in Leonidas' case, one just had to stop before Leonidas' name. The
link then did work for me....(most probably when he clicked on 'send', his
name ended up attached to the end of the link where it didn't belong).
Glad to know Ben Edwards' name.
I just looked again at the Leonard Cohen video shot at Glastonbury...where
there is a clear visual of the harmonicist, but I'm not quite so sure now
of the identity of this CX-12 playing accompanist...so maybe you can verify
whether or not he accompanied Leonard Cohen on that tour?

I just interviewed Benjamin "Ben Henry" Edwards of the Charlie Winston
Band. The link that you posted did not bear fruit. But, I assume you are
referring to the video "Like a Hobo" which takes place on a roof top. Ben
Henry is an amazing young talent. He studied under Brendam Powers as part
of
his degree in university. He is playing a black HohnerCX-12 which has the
Brendan Powers mode done by Brendan Powers, himself. Ben Henry directed me
to
Greg Huemann from Blows Me Away who happens to be another one of the "Harp
World Gods" like Chuck Gurney, Sonny Jr. just to name a few of the
gentleman
that display their genuis in producing technical magic. Ben Henry is
predictably one of the new rising stars of harmonica with a degree in
Popular Music, with gurus like Brendan Powers, Dave Barrett, and Jason
Ricci. He plays the SJ 410 masterfully. Uses mics by Huemann. He is an
accomplished percussionist with true background and depth. A wonderful
dulcimer player. And, has some wonderful chops and he is an insightful
harmonica player. Playing those altered CX-12's and he likes to play
diatonics as well. We sat around before his sold out gig in Luxembourg
after
the interview and he is the most genuine, interested in harp and the harp
world, enthusiastic young harp player that I have run accross in a long
time. We played awhile where we traded licks and ideas, and this kid is
loaded, talented, and gifted.Our interview can be heard on Tuesday, May 12,
2009 at 17:00 - 18:30 hrs. on "Tuesday Bistro" Radio ARA 103.3 or 105.2 FM
,
Luxembourg a multilingual station. On "Bistro" I cover local music events,
concerts, free music, cultural events, interviews, etc. This interview is a
rather short, but fun introduction to Benjamin "Ben Henry" Edwards as an
emerging entity in the HarpWorld. Also, a brief interview with Charlie
Winston and his take on harmonica in his music and his song writing.
Charlie
Winston is also an amazingly talented young singer, song writer, and
performer. I went to do the interview at around 17:00 hrs. in the early
evening and didn't leave to go home until 2:30 a.m. The two young men were
captivating to say the least. But, the entire band, management, and
technical team were warm, open, acomodating, and family like. It was a
wonderful experience. The program can be streamed by going to www.ara.lu
"Livestream" and clicking on your preferred speed. I always go to the
alternative link for you if you are having trouble gaining access by the
traditional means. But, the alternative link goes to a German version which
is not difficult to follow, but might be a little different if you are not
used to reading German. The site of Radio ARA is not totally in English
just
as a warning, so use your linguistic balance to navigate yourself through.
Give yourself a bit of time to find it. And, if the programing is not in
English when you are finding the site, don't panic my program will be in
good ole American English! Remember to adjust to the correct time zone and
changes if you do not live in Central Europe.
Hope ya'll get a chance to listen!
