I had forgotten he left it. One day, Ben Harper was visiting me and noticed the guitar. When Ben and I started talking about it, we thought it would be cool for him to make a song using Lewis&#8217; guitar. With debt looming over Lewis&#8217;s funeral, Ben decided to get his original band back together and make a song for Lewis. All proceeds of the song will go to helping the Marnell family with all funeral costs. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ben Harper is a good man. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/album\/jah-work-single\/id640361687?ls=1\" target=\"_blank\">Click the link<\/a><\/strong> to buy the song, if you&#8217;re outside the US <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/smarturl.it\/jahwork\" target=\"_blank\">click here <\/a><\/strong>for the international version.<!--more--><a href=\"http:\/\/www.boardistan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/BenLewisPost-1.jpg\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.boardistan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/BenLewisPost-1.jpg','popup','width=800,height=800,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=yes,left=0,top=0');return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.boardistan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/BenLewisPost-1-tm.jpg\" height=\"430\" width=\"430\" border=\"1\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" alt=\"Benlewispost-1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today (April 30, 2013), on iTunes Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals released a special version of Jah Work to help support the family of Australian Almost Skateboards pro Lewis Marnell who died in January 2013 from diabetes complications.
