Sir Paul, Count Jaye, and me.
Posted in Uncategorized on Sep 29th, 2008 No Comments »
Count Jaye just sent me an article, nearly a year old, about a secret gig Paul McCartney did to launch his most recent album. Sir Paul played to a small crowd of invited celeb guests and contest winners, in an intimate club in London’s Camden town, called the Electric Ballroom.
This brings me another degree of separation closer to one of my idols, for it was at that very club that, in 2005, the Count and I launched OUR new album, to a small crowd of invited guests and contest losers. Putting these two photos back to back, I daresay it appears the former Beatle is playing the very same piano Jaye Muller used two years earlier! I’m sure Paul must have found that very exciting!
McCartney’s gig.
Our gig. (We had better lighting, no?)
Last week we shot another Muller and Patton music video for the Deep Gold original soundtrack album, to a song called “Minutes Go”. Our buddy Matt Karem was in charge again, joined by Rick Robinson, a sweet guy who’s film credits include, in keeping with this entry’s theme, concert DVD’s for Paul McCartney.
This video was shot entirely on green screen. The Count and I (and a lovely model named Mika) will be later placed in various computer generated locations, in post production. I’m looking forward to finding out where I was standing….
The Count is watching you.
A gorgeous beauty… and some girl beside him.
(By the way, that’s Rick on the left).
