Dear Friends,

I had the great honor of being invited onstage to play for the last song
"LadyLoveMe"( which I co-wrote with my great friend and film-composer
James-Newton-Howard), At the Geroge Benson concert at the Hollywood Bowl
Aug. 26. What a treat at the SOLD OUT BOWL. The last time I had been there was
with Joseph Williams to watch his father John conducting the StarWars show.

What made the evening better was the song before my song was "Turn Your
Love Around' written by non-other than Steve Lukather. (I think his song won
on the applause meter!). The opening act was Stanley Clarke, Victor Wooden, and
Marcus Miller.(Marcus will be playing on my up and coming world music
project out sometime next year). That's all for now, folks!...David Paich

Those were great to watch. It's been ages since I've seen George Benson. I hope he comes back down this way again.

"Lady Love Me" & "Turn...."

I think "Lady Love Me" is one of Stan's faves for Jeff's groove on that tune---.
"Turn Your Love Around" is a CLASSIC. I love Champlin's re-write of tha tone.
DP, it sounds as if you had a blast.
Keep rockin'!

PS: John Williams tunes are ROUGH to play....but oh MAN, is that a blast!! "Star Wars"??? That's killer, but I still love ET!!

Lady Love Me is a very groovy tune! Benson played the song on this years edition of North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam.
The World Music Project sounds very promising. Any more news on that?

That sounds like a pretty good gig. A sold out Bowl must have an amzing vibe.

Keep us updated on the new project.
