I just love this guy....

It's quite possible you've not yet heard of Ireland's Jerry Fish & The Mudbug Club here in the States..... (key word being yet!) but I know it's only a matter of time before their songs are getting playtime on local radio stations.

I hadn't heard of Jerry myself until he licensed one of my Amanda's gorgeous paintings for the cover of his fantastic new CD, The Beautiful Untrue. One of the songs from this CD is a hauntingly beautiful love song, Back to Before... I'm a total 'romantic comedy' movie nut, and I guarantee it's only a matter of time before this song makes it onto the soundtrack of a future chick flick!! Here's a video of the song, which was artfully & beautifully arranged to a collage of Amanda's CD cover artwork:

Now you must actually see Jerry perform as well, so here's a link to him performing another of my favorites, True Friends... (you lucky ducks in Ireland get to see him perform in person, a totally unique, one-of-a-kind experience from what I understand!!)

Okay, so in addition to being incredibly talented, and having great taste in art, he's apparently also a darned nice guy, as evidenced by his latest blog post... something of a "pay it forward, random act of kindness," request in exchange for a free music download. Please check it out here and have fun paying it forward! The world could sure use a lot more Jerry Fish's, don't you think?

Have a great weekend, all!!!
