Over the years I have enjoyed a ton of music but none as much as the music of Jonny Lang. I first heard the hit "Lie to Me" in 1997 and have been a huge fan ever since. I remember being stunned that such a huge voice could come out of such a skinny young guy. Jonny's spiritual journey has parallelled mine in many ways and this kinship of sorts solidified my appreciation of him and his craft. Last night's concert at the Hard Rock Casino was amazing and made me realize that I need to get out more. I couldn't remember the last time I had been out with my little sister and we had a great time. Jonny and his band, an exceptionally gifted group of musicians, quietly took the stage and kept us happy for almost two and a half hours. They played new songs, old favourites, the hits and did some incredible solos. I forgot my woes (such as they are) and immersed myself in the pleasure of watching and hearing great musicians doing what they do best. My only complaint is that I would like to see Jonny play in a place that I could take my girls to (casinos don't allow minors.) They would love to see him; after all they grew up listening to him. God bless you Jonny Lang---you made this old girl really happy for a few hours! I can't wait 'til you and your band are back in town!
