The BayNet.com posted an article today about guitarist Stephen Bennett. What makes Stephen unique is that he plays an unusual 100-year-old “harp” guitar built by his great-grandfather.

He explained that the harp guitar was his great-grandfather’s and was 100 years old this year so he was playing it for performances to celebrate this milestone.

Bennett went on to tell the audience “My great-grandfather played this very instrument on the Portland, Oregon radio station in the 1930s for a broadcast called the Hoot Owls where another entertainer named Mel Blanc also performed!” Bennett said he likes to think that Mel stood next to his great-grandfather and his harp guitar.

Here’s Stephen playing “Tenochtitlan”:
