Don talks guitars, music technology and about the phenomenal voice of Leah Felder (who by the way will be joining him on stage in Vancouver) in his latest extended radio interview with Classic Rock 101′s Robin Larose.

Earlier in the week, Jackson Browne was on hand to assist Gibson in unveiling their new Jackson Browne signature acoustic.

The NAMM show continues this weekend at the Anaheim Convention Center.
