OMG OMG OMG, check another performance off the list

As you may know, my alltime absolute favorite musician is Beth Hart (http://www.bethhart.com/), but you may NOT know that my absolute favorite Israeli musician is Leah Shabat (http://http://www.leahshabat.com). Leah is a very talented composer and has written the music for some of the most popular songs in Israel. She has a very earthy voice (my Mom describes it as SandPaper) but I, needless to say, do not agree.

So imagine my surprise when my friend Alon told me she was performing the other night at a cafe in Jaffa (just south of Tel Aviv).

I have all her CD's and her music has always been my connection to home, I would listen to it whenever I was homesick, and her duets CD was a Friday afternoon staple in my car - it marked the beginning of the weekend on the way home from work!

To make a long story short - the show was great, very intimate. She sang all her hits, and I sang along with them. After the show I walked up and talked to her and told her how much I appreciated her music.

It was one of those moments that I could have died happy.
