Anyone on board with my new boyfriend can totally be my other boyfriend. I agree with your assessment, he is the up and coming JT. The talent is just incredible. <BR/>And we love Robert Cray here! LOVE HIM. <BR/>This new guy (to us) we saw, Joe Bonamassa was a stellar guitarist too. If you have a chance to see him, you will not be disappointed.<BR/><BR/>I can expect you next summer for the jazz fest in Holland, yes?Jenn in Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02356887577439040747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100513347252567500.post-211404631349835142007-07-20T07:29:00.000+02:002007-07-20T07:29:00.000+02:00Don't let SMID take credit for the Jason Mraz on h...Don't let SMID take credit for the Jason Mraz on her Ipod. I put it there. And if it wasn't or me, her ipod would have one more video about raining men. <BR/><BR/>Mraz is my man. I think he is the James Taylor of the 21st century. Really. If you like his stuff, check out John Gorka, who is def. 20th century but still good (check out "Love is Our Cross to Bear"). And if Robert Cray ever comes your way, sell your first child to go. Not many pay attention to him, but in 50 years many will realize that he was the best blues guitarist singer of the late 20th century, hands down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100513347252567500.post-61168081501434298612007-07-19T04:17:00.000+02:002007-07-19T04:17:00.000+02:00Music is a "thin place" for me.

Marcus Borg, a theologian I am fond of, describes a thin place as "anywhere our hearts are opened…" Music has always lifted me up and moved me along from the inside of my being down to my toes.

It's hard not to love him. He's just that good.<BR/>And, no I don't think you weird at all. I think music is god (taking away all religiously preconceived notions of what god is). Music takes me places I can't reach otherwise. It speaks to my soul, with or without lyrics. That's spiritual. It's also an unbelievable blessing. So coming from another, currently without religion, I would have to admit that music, good music, is one to me.Jenn in Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02356887577439040747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100513347252567500.post-12981105845618661222007-07-17T23:00:00.000+02:002007-07-17T23:00:00.000+02:00I really enjoyed your 'new boyfriends' song, Jenn ...I really enjoyed your 'new boyfriends' song, Jenn - especially the fake instruments!!<BR/><BR/>Love the way you describe the effect music has on you - <BR/>Though I'm not certain whether I believe in God or not..music (particularly fantastic operatic voices) gets me as close to being a believer as anything.

Steely Dan was billed as one of the bands who required additional fees to see, so we didn't think we'd have a chance, and then when we walked into the hall to see Joe Bonamassa, Steely Dan was just finishing a last set, and then we got in on the encore too. It was great! Donald Fagan in green adidas and everything!<BR/><BR/>And, I totally pretended to speak only Dutch until she was just obnoxious enough to say really loudly "WHAT IS SHE SAYING" when the announcer came on stage to ask if the crowd wanted Jason back for just one more...then I had to lean forward to "translate" for her. What I really wanted to do was pinch her. Or tell her that the announcer had just asked the loud blonde in front to be quiet.
