J.T. & Friends provided the music for an evening of dancing at the PBS Gala in Orange County last weekend.
Peter Asher was the honored guest, and special performer. He brought priceless stories and photographs, and played his hits, some produced by John Burgess, from his days with Peter and Gordon, and from his time at Apple Records.

AJr has completed the move with his family and colleagues to Los Angeles from Boston, and is now fully ensconced in his new room at Paramount Studios in Hollywood. The hit of the evening was AJ‘s new album; Dreaming in Subtitles.
The other night a celebration was held, and AJ and I managed to sneak a little pic of the two ex-Duran Duran-ites in the big control room on Santa Monica Boulevard. We’ll look for a photo of us both looking at the same camera…
