Christopher
Cross is an incredible guitarist, singer and songwriter. Remember his pink flamingo logo? He has received
5 Grammy awards, an Oscar, and a Golden Globe. His Oscar was for 1 of his 2 USA number 1 hits, "Arthur's
Theme (Best That You Can Do)." This was the theme song from the movie of the same name starring Dudley Moore.
"Arthur's Theme" was co-written with music heavy-weights, Burt Bacharach and Carol Bayer Sager. The other
number one hit was "Sailing." Other Cross hits include "Ride Like The Wind" which went to number
2 in the U.S. A Christopher Cross concert is a must see event. His new material is great. It is obvious
he is a perfectionist...a review of his standard contract and rider shows that he requires very specific sound and equipment
set-ups, even in the smallest of venues. This pays real dividends to the audience, especially when he goes acoustic.
One of my personal favorites to hear in an acoustic set is "Think of Laura." Widely believed to be called
"Luke and Laura" and about two "General Hospital" characters, this song is really about the
victim of a stray bullet.
Trivia: Christopher Cross sang BGV's (background vocals) on David Lee Roth's
version of "California Girls." Another song by Cross, "I Was Swept Away," was written for an episode
of the 80's television show "Growing Pains." arb

Here are two REALLY lucky young ladies hanging out with The Jonas Brothers at one of their three
concerts at The Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles, California, USA, in early February, 2008. Elise and Lauren got to
experience what it's like to be close to Nick (who's 15), Joe (who's 18), and their older brother Kevin (who's
20). The Jonas Brothers performed a 90 minute set at each concert, then paused to take some cool photo's, like
these two, with a select few of their fans. Way to go Elise and Lauren!!!
