Jack Johnson

They really like Jack Johnson down here. I'm OK with that because I like Jack Johnson too. In fact, I really like Jack Johnson. I didn't know him well until I saw him perform with Ben Harper at the Gorge. What a great venue, and especially for someone like him.

When we arrived in Maresias this weekend, Hernan set up his Bose SoundDock so we could listen to some music. Of course, I was excited to see a way to listen to music. To get into the vibe of being at a beach in a surf town, someone suggested Jack Johnson. I couldn't have agreed more with the selection.

Throughout the weekend I kept catching Jack throughout the weekend from bars as I walked down the beach, playing in cars that drove by and in bars during the evening. I heard Jack today while I was running along (and on) the beach, or while I was lunch. Maybe it was in the cab? Can't remember, but the point stands. Jack Johnson gets a lot of air time here - oh yeah, it was while getting ice cream after lunch - and the music really suits parts of this country. It suits the parts that you think about when you think of Brazil as a destination. Relaxing, beautiful times by the beach.
