Love is a Four Letter Word - Jason Mraz

If you are an acoustic musician, singer, songwriter or a dedicated Mraz fan, be sure to check out the new album “Love is a Four Letter Word“. The album is a slight departure from some of the original stuff that he has written and played, but I can still hear the strong acoustic roots in much of the music.

I recently purchased the Deluxe version of the album from iTunes that contains a digital booklet, hidden tracks and several live bonus tracks – it is worth the extra $5 bucks for the live cuts on the deluxe version of the album.

So… head on over to wherever you purchase your music and get the new Mraz album – even if you only find one inspiring track on the album… it will be worth it for you. Jason Mraz is a great musician and songwriter – and is worth checking out.

Irish Friendship Wish

May  there always be work  for  your hands to  do;

May  your purse always hold a coin or two;

May the sun always shine on your windowpane;

May a rainbow be certain to follow each  rain;

May the hand of a friend always be near you;

May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

and may you be in heaven a half hour before the devil  knows  you’re  dead.

No, I’m not Irish (not even a little bit)… but like what this one says.

For the moment, I’ll list the session tracks that I plan to attend (or attended) and follow up with useful posts later.
