Having Fun With Adele On Stage
I saw Adele‘s show last week. She played 16 songs. The songs averaged about 5 minutes in length for about 90 minutes worth of music. There was no intermission and yet the entire show was over two hours. The reason is that Adele has a lot on her mind. Sure, we all want to hear these […]
Reworking the catalogue
Earlier this year, Van Morrison released “Reworking the Catalogue” whereupon Van reworks a number of his lesser known songs and reinterprets them through a duet with a different partner for each tune. It mostly works because these songs are not untouchable Van standards and can be listened to and appreciated for their fun, looseness and creative arrangements. […]

Elvis Birthday Bash
If you love Elvis (and seriously, who doesn’t) and you live in LA there is only one place you should be to celebrate the 80th birthday celebration for the King of Rock and Roll. The 28th edition of the Elvis Birthday Bash will be held this year at the Hollywood Avalon. Expect to see at […]
Elvis Presley is 80
Elvis Presley was born January 8, 1935. That would make him 80 this year. Let this sink in. Willie Nelson turns 82 in April and he’s still playing. I could easily imagine Elvis taking a similar path like Willie and collaborating with contemporary artists and still playing shows. How cool would it have been […]
