Music Monday; Magical Mraz

Last night I took into trip into London to the Hammersmith Apollo to see the very talented Jason Mraz whose star is on the rise in the UK. I discovered his music a few months back over at Intrepid Ideas and I've been hooked ever since. Jason's style is jazz, soul and funk all mixed together - I love it! His songs are mainly happy songs about love, mostly with an upbeat tempo but some ballads too. Fortunately, I discovered Jason before his current release "I'm Yours" made it into the charts over here and I was able to get a ticket. Yippee for me!

He can do some amazing things with his voice, including singing very high notes. I don't why I've always found that quite appealing in men which is why I'm attracted to singers like Daniel Bedingfield, Justin Timberlake and James Blunt. But I have to say Jason outclasses them vocally. He also has a very lithe body and although he doesn't dance much in his performance his movements reminded me of Marcel Marceau. I bet he could moonwalk as good as Michael Jackson any day!

Here's his current UK hit I'm Yours which is going to be the start of something big!







Here's the song he ended on...Butterfly







Oh what the heck- it's my blog, I'm gonna indulge myself and this time not with chocolate! Here's O Lover







Somebody chuck some water over me!

Why didn't I buy a mobile phones that zooms in?

The figures lit up in the centre are Jason's brass section, thrilling the audience in the circle seats.

Jason with arms aloft trying to catch a large pair of granny knickers flying from the circle...damn it... it was chilly on the way home....

Here's a review of last night's performance at The Times online

The Witty Woman Is Still Not Dead

The news is I am not yet dead. But I am now 61. Jesus. That’s on the outside lane to six foot under. However, I haven’t quite reached the st...
