                                      John Mayer Basically I am a Musician.So I really follow so many music artists all over the world.But there is a favorite artist in my life and I truly respect him as a true fan.His name is John Clayton Mayer. He was born on 16th October 1977.He is an American singer,song writer and guitarist.The first time I saw he is playing a guitar on youtube.I mesmerized after watching his performance.Untill then I became his huge fan.He inspires me day by day. In 2003, he won the " Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance" for his single "Your Body Is a Wonderland".By 2005,Mayer had moved away from the acoustic music that characterized his early records,and begun performing the blues and rock music. I request from all who don't know about john Mayer,please watch his performance at least one because he is  one of the finest musician in the world.

 Radha is my bestie in university. She goes to the university from our home. Actually her hometown is Kurunegala, Demaladora. So I decided to visit her village with her. Kaveenga and thisara joined us too.  First we took the train around 5 p.m from Ragama to Polgahawela. It was a long journey actually. But it was really fun with my friends. We got down from the train around 7.30 p.m . Then Radha's father came to pick us. We arrived Radha's place around 9 p.m . His parents were so humble and so sweet. Obviously we are from the University of Visual and Peforming Arts. As well as we are doing music. So we sang together for sometime.  Next day, we went to the temple and it was very old and historical place belonging to the King Walagamba dynasty. We climed to a rock near the temple too.  Actually, we had so much fun together that day. It was the funniest trip I ever had.

 There is an unforgettable day in everyone's life.I also have a day that I can't forget ever.That was the day I shoot my first cover video.I woke up that morning, took my instruments and went to the place we are going to shoot.Unfortunately we had to go there by bus.Our locations were in Pettah.It's about 6.30a.m.when we started to shoot.We had to shoot on the road.I felt really awkward.Because people were going here and there.And also some people were supported me.We shot near Red Musjith also.Finally we did it successfully.After I uploaded it on youtube,I got 20K views and I really happy about that.So that's why it's being an unforgettable day in my life.
