Well its been awhile since I last posted… what can I say? I guess we’ve just been having to much fun. To tell you the full story we had some smashing times with the Brothers and Sisters in Acapulco congregation. Both out in the service and also the association at other times. On our last saturday night there they organised a Latino dance party for us… to try and teach us some dance steps. It was so much fun and we all had a blast.

In Between Dreams – Jack Johnson

Well if you haven’t already heard the news, the new Jack Johnson album is out… yeah i’m little behind in the news myself.

I’ve been listening to it for the last two days and i have to say it’s really a fantastic CD, i would even go as far as to say that this ablum is better than his first and second, a big call? Nah i’ve enjoyed the journey that Jacks music has taken don’t get me wrong it’s still cruisy and its still got a classic raw feel to it… just makes you wanna jump in the surf with your board and stay out till the sun goes down.

A must have CD, especially if your into other musicians like Ben Harper, Donavon Frankenreiter , G Love and the Special Sauce or even the likes of local Australian artists John Butler, Xavier Rudd.

I give this a 9 out of 10 rating, and i can guarantee I’ll be listening to this album for years to come. My favorite songs are Better Together, Never Know, Good People, Sitting Waiting Wishing, Breakdown, Constellations.

Hope you enjoy it as much as i do.

Missy Higgins – Concert

I went to a missy higgins concert lastnight, i’d say by far it was the best live concert by any artist i have every seen at the Port Macquarie Panthers League Club.

She totally rocked it up… the music was way better live…

She played her piano with so much energy it was a delight to watch… she plays the guitar too, but i was just happy to hear her playing the piano. She totally rocked it up… the music was way better live than on her CD, i came away with a better sense of appreciation for her songs than before. I even discovered that i like some of her other songs… funny how that happens at a concert. She gave the Port Macquarie crowd a great encore as well, coming back on stage to do three more of her well known favorites. You should’ve have been there…
