Naturally 7 in Perth

This video at YouTube shows Naturally 7 performing in a Paris subway and it has been watched almost two million times.

If you’ve never heard of Naturally 7 you owe it to yourself to watch it all the way through.

If you think that performance is good, imagine having the guys giving you a private performance. That’s the privilege I had during my morning programme on 98.5 Sonshine FM yesterday. Naturally 7 dropped in for an interview and performed a couple of songs including Feel It [In the Air Tonight], the song performed in the video. OK, so there were thousands of people listening on the radio too but at the time it was just me, them and their sound guy in the studio. It was powerful.

They’re in Perth supporting Michael Buble for his four Perth concerts.

The guys perform what they call ‘vocal play’ which is all about performing only with the human voice as their instruments. At times it’s hard to believe that there are no drums, guitars or keyboards backing them up.

Click the play button on the audio player at the bottom of this post to hear the interview.

If you’d like to see what they can do with a bunch of microphones check out the video below … and remember … the only instruments are human voices and a few hand claps.

Twelve

twelve.jpgIt’s a very big day at our place today.

As of today I’ve been a dad for twelve years.

Our beautiful Emily turns twelve today. It’s so hard to remember what life was like before she arrived. She has the remarkable ability of lighting up a room simply by walking into it. She’s growing up to be a rather wonderful young woman. She’s smart, funny and so incredibly talented.

The frightening thing is that she’s almost as beautiful as her mother. I think I might just have to lock her away from all the boys for the next 10 or 20 years.

Knowing that you’ve been a father for twelve years might make some people feel older but having someone as vibrant and amazing as Emily in my life makes me feel younger every day.
