John Mayer

I first found out John Mayer was coming to Austin sometime in November, so Ryan got us tickets to go see him in concert for our two year anniversary!!!! So, after waiting patiently for 3 months- John finallllly came to Austin tonight!!! I will admit, this was my third time to see him in concert, and he has been GREAT every single time.

Michael Franti opened up for him- and he was really good. He was really into interacting with the crowd, and even invited some of the little kids up on stage- presh! He made a fan out of me!!

I will say this- I am not a fan of John Mayer's mouth- I don't think he is a nice person- or very attractive for that matter. I am especially not a fan of his recent interview with Playboy, which received a TON of negative press, and it also ranks high on my lists of celebs spilling TMI. All that aside, I am a HUGE fan of his music. Homeboy can SING- and play the guitar- really really well. While I am no guitar aficionado, I know good music when I hear it, and when half of Mayer's audience is male- you know he must be doing something right. I even saw Ryan enjoying the guitar solos....

I did take a live (illegal) video of him singing, but unfortunately, it was so loud inside, that my sound didn't turn out. Instead, I will leave you a picture- taken from my iPhone- so you will have to use your imagination!

I couldn't help but think while he was playing- that he is the prime example of someone who has been blessed with this great gift- and is using it to the best of his abilities. I was reminded of this verse:

"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows."

James 1:17
