In the midst of a short run of solo shows at the Sydney Opera House, former Adelaide resident Ben Folds gave the ABC Steinway Model D a damn good thrashing whilst treating us to a rendition of Sentimental Guy from his 2005 album Songs for Silverman.
We also took the opportunity to ask BF some searching questions regarding life, career, photography, trees...and religious conversion. We also quizzed him about the genesis of 3 of his better-known songs:
Not The Same
Landed
Kylie From Connecticut
Definitely worth a look 'n' listen...

"It's kinda deep" :)
I loved the 9+ minute interview. As an aside can someone please tell me the name of the song he did with an orchestra full of guitars!! It was awesome. I saw it on a DVD of my son's. Maybe there are a few songs he did with that orchestra but I found it unique and I would love to hear that particular song again. I look forward to receiving some song titles re the above azurepink@hotmail.com hope I can add my address there :) Or posted here. Many thanks.
Wish I lived nr the Opera House I would go see him for sure.
