Filling my brain with good stuff

I went to see a concert on Saturday night, kind of out of the blue. My best friend Bev and her husband Brandon came to TO because they had tickets to see the John Butler Trio, and when they got to our place, they convinced me to go buy a ticket too.

What a fantastic idea.

I'd never heard of them, but B&B are big fans and saw them in concert once when they were living in Australia. It was a bloody fantastic concert, and I highly recommend checking them out. I've never seen that level of skill before - it blew my mind.

I didn't know any of the music, but it didn't even matter. I loved every second of it. JB's guitar solo made my head spin - it sounded like at least two guys on guitar, but it was only him. Nutso. Honestly, check them out. There's a ton of stuff on YouTube, and it's sure to blow your mind.

Brandon bought one of their CDs and gave it to me yesterday as a thank you for providing them with free lodging when they come to TO (as if they need to thank me for that! Bev's been my best friend since practically birth, and I love Brandon to death!).

I'm always humming something (often it's not something I really like), so it's so nice when I'm introduced to new music to fill my brain.
