after all....sell out???

yanno the kid in the middle? Well, Who did you think he was?!?

OH MY GOODNESS!! is all I have to say about the John Mayer Trio...John's newest incantation of musicians. I used to ogle at this man years ago at Eddie's Attic and Smith's Old Bar, and even talked to him a few times. He used to wear this great rainbow striped sweater that he looked absolutely amazing in...but that was before the fame..the name in lights...crazy weight loss...strange versions of songs I used to love.... There was this one night that I went to see him at Eddie's, and he was on fire. At one point, he got the electric guitar, and just started going off! He walked over and sat down at a table with the guitar, and just played the $hit out of it!! As a musician myself, I really truly noticed, appreciated, and was amazed at the talent of this guy. I even emailed him and offered to sing back up if he ever needed it. He emailed me back, saying he'd let me know....

Next thing I know I'm living in Philly, and I'm hearing his song on aisle 7 in my neighborhood supermarket. He has really made it....if making it is selling out...

So he made his money, had some great hits, lost some weight, but stayed pretty hot, played some great shows to a bunch of screaming young girls...but never really got to show off his guitar skills on any albums. I haven't been impressed by his studio albums thus far. I've bragged to my friends about how great he *really* is... Then I see something that says "John Mayer Trio" and I wonder if it's the same guy....so I stumble over to www.johnmayer.com and I hear this AMAZING guitar riff with drums coming in, and an all out JAM!! I was completely FLOORED!!!!

He made his money...and used it to go back to what he really wanted to do to start with. Props to John Mayer. I've got my itunes downloaded (the only place you can get these new tunes) and it's cranking over and over again. This dude has talent. I've seen it. Now I'm glad that he's put it in an album.

I wonder if I could get a main stream hit out of any of my tunes....i'll have to post an mp3 on here and get opinions from you guys. What do ya think?
