Yes, Dave and I agree about also wanting to see movies that are "real," rather than some Hollywood-esque facade.<BR/><BR/>And by the way, I found out recently that James Morrison was in St. Louis right about a year ago, while on tour with his first album. So I'm kicking myself that I didn't know about that! Argh! And, to rub it in just a little more, his show here was at the "Blueberry Hill" restaurant in The Loop, the venue where anyone who is anybody in the music scene performs. It's an incredible venue, very small and intimate, just the kind of place to see a great show. But I've read that's he's currently working on his second album and I hope he'll make it by here a second time for another show.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03472185695563612014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1910486948926735142.post-64514337614095219852008-03-10T00:23:00.000-05:002008-03-10T00:23:00.000-05:00Love it! I loved both of the songs, actually. I ...Love it! I loved both of the songs, actually. I had heard of James Morrison, but never really knew who he was. But I am a fan now, too. Your description of liking soulful, bluesy, "raw," and "real" music is similar to the same reasons your father and I see almost nothing but indie movies anymore---they are movies containing little or nothing in the way of special effects, are different and interesting, with scripts and stories about REAL people. Or I should say, they are about people and keeping it all real, as in, "the people, the acting, the script writing, and the stories" in the movie are more important than anything else. And music this same way is very cool too. For all these same reasons is partly why there has been a resurgence of the popularity of folk music in recent years--music lovers are glad to hear singers telling real stories, mostly accoustically, and the songs, whether old or new, aren't "glitzed up"--they're the "real deal."<BR/><BR/>I'm gonna look up more from James Morrison!Mickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735734846249048131noreply@blogger.com
