Before leaving for Austin for my gig I pushed my flight to help my dear friend Marius de Vries by recording vocals with actress Jessica Biel for the new film Easy Virtue he is scoring. The session went great, on the way out I ran into Barry Manilow in the lift...very bizarre! Who's next! Been getting a lot of nice emails who heard me with Niyaz on NPR's The World w/ Lisa Mullins, the next day she interview Peter Gabriel!
