I Just Hadn’t Met Him Yet

 Road trip last night to Toledo to see Michael Buble.

I love his music and I have always wanted to see him in concert.

Michael put on a great show.

He really has a great sense of humor. He told some pretty funny stories.

One story went like this:

His limo driver from the airport was a young guy. Michael arrived @2am. Hungry, Michael told the driver. The driver then said my brother owns a pizza shop. He lives upstairs of his pizza joint…I will call and just wake him up so he can make you a pizza. AND…he did. In the process, Michael gave him tickets to the show and introduced him to the crowd. It was so sweet. He stood up with a baseball cap on in about the 10th row.

We had perfect seats behind the pizza guy about 24 rows back on the floor.

But  for the last few songs we went up front and we were VERY close.

It was CRAZY close!

Michael ended singing A Song For You acapella

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my life in stages with ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be, I've treated you unkindly
But girl can't you see, there's no one more important to me
So darling can't you please see through me, 'cause we're alone now
And I'm singing my song for you, you taught me precious secrets
The truth with holding nothing, you came out in front
And I was hiding, oh, but now I'm so much better,
So if my words don't come together, listen to the melody
'Cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there is no space or time, I love you for my life
You are a friend of mine, and when my life is over
Remember, remember, remember when we were together
And we are alone now, and I was singing this song to you
We were alone, and I was singing, yeah singing
We were alone, and I was singing this song for you
Singing my song, I'm singing my song for you

It was a fantastic concert. That helped me check off one of my “to dos” on my Bucket List.  :)
