My Times

New York was a blast.
The night before we collected our Nominee Medallions. Herb Alpert, Rupert Neve, Burt Bacharach and many others were honoured with Grammy awards.
Later that night we stopped in the hotel bar.
About 2 AM, Sir George Martin walked in, straight from London. He had come to NY to film a series of interviews with musicians, not to go to the Grammys. We talked about his 6 awards and he wished me a world of luck.
It was a wonderful suprise. With my medallion around my neck, I went to bed feeling it couldn't get better than this.

We were joined by Dr and Mrs Richard Bastien in the car to the garden. With 5 minutes and 3 blocks to go before the doors closed, and 2 lanes of blocked limos, a few hundred people jumped out and were seen running down 7th avenue. I actually got heckled for wearing my tuxedo.

The show was great! We were in row K. It was a great production to be at.
I wish I could've won the Best Folk Album award though...
The highlights were the Dancing, Richard Branson smiling across the aisle from us and the Beatles winning 3 Grammys!

Going on to the stage was a bit like a dream. I don't remember very much. I managed to say thanks to Sting and Diana Ross, the other classiest lady in music.
I didn't notice the big red lipstick kiss on my cheek!

If you were able to connect to the live Webcast, you might have seen my interview. If we bug them, they might put it in the archives.

The Sony party was great. It was better if you had your own body guards to shove people around, like Bruce Springsteen and Babyface did.
Celine was electric without any thugs.
Later we went to the Grammy party to collect our Hockey pucks and t-shirts. Now that was a zoo!

Seeing George and Judy on Thursday really capped a great week. Thanks again to everybody, especially to Dan Hill for writing a fantastic song, and to David Foster for producing Because You Loved Me!
