Musicares Feb 2012---Good Bet EC might appear

[FAVEHOUR]

I see the Musicares gala next February is honoring Mr. McCartney. There's a good chance Elvis will show up for that, as he has in past years, and it being Sir Paul and all. Hope they put this one out on DVD as well.

The plot thickens...

Diana Krall has moved all of her Florida dates, including her Wed. Feb. 15th date at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall. The new date will be Tuesday, March 27 @ 8:00 PM.

The pop-jazz songstress was recently invited by the legendary Paul McCartney to collaborate on a project for the upcoming Grammys! We are thrilled for Sarasota favorite Diana Krall to participate in this once in a lifetime opportunity and still be able to be with us at the Hall this year.

The list of announced performers includes Elvis' wife, a Sugarcane, four Spectacle guests, the original performer of "The Scarlet Tide," one of the guests when Elvis hosted Letterman, and a couple other people who have shared a stage with Elvis, but no Elvis...

More Stars To Come Together For Paul McCartney

An impressive star-studded cast will come together to honor 2012 MusiCares Person of the Year honoree Paul McCartney during a sold-out gala on Feb. 10 in Los Angeles, two days prior to the 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards.

Hosted by actor/comedian Eddie Izzard, artists set to perform are current GRAMMY nominees Tony Bennett, Coldplay, Foo Fighters, Alison Krauss & Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas, and Katy Perry; GRAMMY-winning artists Duane Eddy, Norah Jones, Alicia Keys, Diana Krall, James Taylor, and Neil Young with Crazy Horse; two-time Latin GRAMMY-winning artist Sergio Mendes; and the cast of Cirque du Soleil's "Love" Beatles tribute show. The evening will also feature a special performance by McCartney.

The MusiCares Person of the Year tribute is one of the most prestigious events held during GRAMMY Week. Proceeds from the dinner and concert will provide essential support for MusiCares, which ensures that music people have a place to turn in times of financial, medical and personal need.

Past MusiCares Person of the Year honorees include: Bennett, Bono, Natalie Cole, Phil Collins, David Crosby, Neil Diamond, Gloria Estefan, Aretha Franklin, Don Henley, Billy Joel, Elton John, Quincy Jones, Luciano Pavarotti, Bonnie Raitt, Paul Simon, Sting, Barbra Streisand, Taylor, Brian Wilson, Stevie Wonder, and Young.

The 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards will take place live on Sunday, Feb. 12 at Staples Center in Los Angeles and will be broadcast live on the CBS Television Network from 8–11:30 p.m. ET/PT.

On the other hand, his last appearance at the MusiCares dinner wasn't announced in advance either.

AKUS is featuring Jerry Douglas and Katy Perry? I wonder if she's playing accordion or second dobro.

[Man out of Time]

Maybe Elvis is still waiting to get back the guitar he left behind the last time he played a Tribute show for Macca. Or maybe he's checking on the availability of someone in uniform to accompany him on "Penny Lane"?

Elvis evidently did not take the stage, but he did appear in a film which introduced McCartney's closing set.

The film I worked on with Elvis and Phil Rosenthal is showing now. #MusiCares http://yfrog.com/oengbxqj

I hear Neil Young and Crazy Horse did a barn burning rendition of 'I Saw Her Standing There'.

I might be imagining this, but he seems to have slimmed down at bit once again? After that noticeable weight loss, and during the spinning thingy... well, maybe just touring food etc. but there, seems back in fighting shape. nice.

Great piece @Wildaboutmusic wrote, in film delivered by Elvis Costello at last night's MusiCares #UStreasure

@brianrayguitar Thanks. That was a co-write I did with Elvis Costello, and Phil Rosenthal. I'm the weak end of a power trio. #MusiCares

In a humorous video tribute, Elvis Costello chronicled McCartney's artistic and charitable contributions, ending with new album Kisses on the Bottom, which he joked "could be an alternative title of tonight's event."

Katy Perry performed Hey Jude.

[And No Coffee Table]

Backstage, Paul McCartney told Diana Krall that her version of “For No One” was the most moving he’d ever heard–he said “You really got it.” Husband Elvis Costello was beaming.

was this held at the same time as the Ray Davies thing? if so, that might be the reason he didn't appear.

or wanting to back away and let Diana delve into her new digs. w. p. mc.c. gentlemanly?
