Video of Jason Mraz at Music Matters 2010! #jasonmraz #musicmatters

Ha ha, is the title blatant enough?  Jason Mraz was the 'keynote' final speaker at Music MattersAsia 2010 last night.  I couldn't help but take a video for the sake of all you faithful etchy blog readers old and new. 

Here's the finale when he performed "I'm Yours" live.  Including a bit of his intro about how the song spread via the internet:

She was singing her part in Bahasa (the main language of Indonesia) from what I gather.also he came to the 'Music Matters Live' music events in LKF that night (unfortunately not to the alivenotdead.com showcase (as far as I know),  but I did go up and say hi to him at the California Bar next door after our event ended. pictures from that event forthcoming,  but you can see some of my tweet photos here:http://tweetphoto.com/24355950http://tweetphoto.com/24352519http://tweetphoto.com/24339533http://tweetphoto.com/24337275Update 1:  HK's ATV network used my video in their English news on May 31st.  Check it out here:

joanne - yes, he comes across as a pretty laid back and positive person. the biggest applause line he got was when he mentioned that his goal in life was to just make a living doing music, and once he had a regular gig playing at a coffee shop in San Diego selling home made CDs of his shows and living out of his car, he had basically achieved that goal and was happy.

joanne - almost too 'granola' for me, but if he can live by that and be successful in the 'real' world, then more power to him!
