Tonight I'm going to see Neil Finn in concert. I have been a fan of his for over 20 years, but haven't ever seen him live. You might remember him from the '80s band The Split Enz. He was also the lead singer/songwriter for Crowded House and went on to have a small but wonderful solo career. ( I featured his video here in my Mother's day post.)
He is truly a musical genius and I'm thankful to my blog and the internet for connecting me with someone who loves him even more than me. She alerted me to the private show tonight and we are going together.... This is one of my favorite songs.
One of my favorites...
WOW! What a treat! I have found myself listening to nothing but Neil for the last 2 weeks or so. Have an amazing time! Can't wait to hear all about the experience, and please tell him I said hi.

An artist I have never heard of, but really worth the listen... Thanks for posting the video and enjoy the show!

You are like a Distant Sun when you eat Chocolate Cake that Fall At Your Feet. Bring The Weather With You to the gig because it´s Something So Strong. Don´t Dream it´s Over when you Better Be Home Soon In The Lowlands. It´s Only Natural to have a good time in your Private Universe.

Love Split Enz! In high school art class, I did a colored pencil drawing of Neil Finn. I got a B, I'm not a very good artist so I was really proud of that! I also did a charcoal of David Sylvan, does anyone even remember him?

I love this song. Heard the James Blunt cover on that one episode of The OC.
