Ben Folds...I still love you

I've got a big crush on Ben Folds. Not going to lie. What an amazing musician and poet. I had the opportunity to see him with the backup of the Augusta (GA) Symphony at a local music festival. It was supposed to be outside and for that, I'm sad it wasn't. It was going to be a cool night and the idea of doing something outside was something I eagerly awaited.

Ben is just so cool. I want to share a few videos because I was lucky enough to have a decent phone to record this time. It's so hard not to sing along when you are recording but also singing out loud (or yelling) at the Symphony is sort of a weird feeling.

















"Brick" -- what can I say? Perhaps the saddest and most poetic songs of all time. Wonder what he thinks each time he plays it. https://plus.google.com/u/0/110143293752459891654/posts/iuXJnwXEsbi?pid=6201230580535356930&oid=110143293752459891654

Thanks again Ben for a great night. Smart, humor and that feeling that a bunch of your friends are getting together to hang out. Well done...until we see you again.
