    I joined the Army in 2007. The first thing I did when I got out of Basic Training was go to the base store and bought an iPod. This was the old ones with the click wheel instead of a touch screen and whenever my mom or grandma or whatever would ask what I needed I told them to send me iTunes gift cards. The first album I bought was Ben Folds Live. I listened to that album on near repeat as an escape from Army training. And completely unironically, 'Army' was my favorite song on that record.
    So thanks Ben for your help getting through a rough time.

    The fact that he would begin AND end a party with "Dancin' On The Ceiling" says a lot about the guy's sense of humor and his intellect. I'd get drunk with him!

    I am a recent discoverer of Reverb (the web store selling site) and this is how I discovered the UA-cam channel.
    I found myself listening to the BF5 along with my daughter back in the day, I am pretty old because my kid turned 34 this past year. Fun video, thanks Ben and Reverb
