Naturally 7 Naturally Wonderful...

It's been a busy time for Ty and I. Last night we went to see Michael Buble in concert and he was awesome. We got the tickets by sheer luck because Melissa's sister couldn't go so she sold them to us at a cheaper price, we saved $50 which was cool. I didn't even know that he was back in Adelaide because his first concert was sold out, and I was disappointed at the time that I didn't have tickets.

He had an opening act called Naturally 7 and they were amazing. They have no musical instruments and make the sounds themselves, eg drums, guitar, trumpet and bass. The guy who did the drums sounded so real. At some points you actually think that they have a backing CD playing some music in the background but they don't. The lead guy got each band member to do the musical instrument noise on his own to prove that it was them and not a backing CD. My favourite part was when they sang Ave Maria, I got goose bumps.

Buble came on next and he was so sexy. He moves so well and his interaction with the crowd is fantastic. At one point he asked us to raise our right hands and we did, and then he said "okay now rub your hands on the person's leg to your right" it was hilarious. He also pretended to have a diva tantrum because we cheered for his band really loudly. So he stormed off stage and his trumpet guy said "Buble's a diva and he lip synchs his concerts" just funny stuff like that. He also went into the audience and took a photo with a 9 year old boy, because he thought it was so great that a child was at a jazz concert, passing on the legacy of the great jazz musicians in the past. The highlight for me was when it was just him and the piano singing "Song for You" and an Elvis song, the audience was so quiet. When he played his song "Home" he put up landmarks of Adelaide which was so cool. When he put up the footy codes hardly anyone cheered for Port Power and when it showed the Adelaide Crows there was this massive cheer, even the soccer team Adelaide United got a louder response, I thought that was funny.

Ty and I have set a date for our housewarming so now we are just busy planning that we have plenty of time. But there is still alot of work to do around the house. Work has been extremely busy which is good makes the days go quicker. Looking forward to the weeekend. We are having Chi, Mitch, Thomas, Aisha, Matt and my brothers around for a BBQ on Sunday.
