Star Studded...
So, every once in a while various celebrities come by to see the show and its so great to meet them or to say hi if I've known them from before.
The other night one of my favorite people came to the show... Dennis DeYoung, who was the lead singer of the band STYX. I grew up listening to Dennis sing all those great power rock ballads, 'Come Sail Away', 'Babe' etc. He's truly an amazing singer and songwriter. And has also become a great friend.
It was so good to see him. We worked together a while back on a project that he wrote based on 'The Hunchback Of Notre Dame' and the music is truly out of this world. When I was asked to sing for him all those years ago... it was such a treat. Here I was in the room with the guy who wrote all those songs on all those albums. (I gotta confess I was a huge STYX fan!)
So, working with him on that show was a stellar experience.
Anyway... ya never know who is going to show up at the stage door and it was a nice surprise to see Dennis!
Another packed house tonight. Another tremendous audience! Thanks everyone!
