Mike thankfully recorded Dave's song yesterday morning with his cell phone ...

Along with some mates, I had the great honour of meeting my long time musical hero Dave Matthews. He's here in South Africa promoting the film his production company has put out, Joshua. Interviewed on Jacaranda FM this morning, I was lucky enough (along with Sam, Mike, Pete, Celeste and Justin) to be included in the studio audience.

Initially we were only going to be allowed to watch from outside the studio, but at the last minute got ushered into the studio along with invited guests.

There was a collective sound of breaths being lost as he entered the room (Celeste even made a pretty funny snortling sound). Besides just being in the same room as the maestro, he serenaded us with an impromptu performance of Grave Digger, signed some of our CDs and even signed my guitar strap.

*he faints*
