Sorry, I believe it is the same video/song “Rendez-vous” and “Love Lights the World”. My mistake. How could I even think I could find something about Foster you didn't know? As punishment, I'll listen to “Lady of My Heart” again.

Just wait for this Friday's mixtape if you want a taste of Terje at his most Fos-tastic. It's divine.

Sorry, I was recuperating from self-inflicted eardrum wounds after listening to this week's Jack Wagner (it's more fun when you pronounce it in a German accent: VOGnuhr) track. Everything is healing nicely, which makes me all the more curious to hear what has to be Terje Fjelde's Ode to the Foss. Every songwriter has something that's obviously a nod to the head (or vigorous spasm somewhere, in my case) to their favorite writer, so can we have a taste? Or at least some sheet music?

And not to spoil the surprise, but the new Seal album ain't so good. Mick Hucknell did something similar earlier in the year, and it is a lot better. Not sure if it's Seal, the Foss, the song selection, or the drinking game involving a shot of Rittenhouse every time a percussion instrument with too much reverb is hit for dramatic purpose. We're in agony and rye on planet hagen… save us, Terje!

Oh, I've been trying to escape from the “David Foster Sound” since I was 16. Whenever I lay my hands down on the keyboard, my right hand plays a fifth.

Hahahaha. Damn, I'm good. You'll curse me even more when you're stuck on public transportation, reading about how great Charice's voice is (don't ask, you'll find out soon enough.)

You're not making it any easier for me to move on here, Sharon.

I've seen him with the Red Army Choir performing “Rendez-Vous,” a vocal version of “Flight of the Snowbirds” — but not “Love Lights the World”. I must check it out immediately.

Oh, and you're welcome.

Let's see, you could cover all the “big” songs he passed on. Like “My Heart Will Go On” or “Flashdance”. And I know how much you and your colleagues enjoy how David Foster-ized Bocelli, that would be fun. And hm, I'm sure you have something to say about Celine, Grobin & Buble. So many nuggets to choose from, I'm not seeing the problem. “The Bodyguard” soundtrack, Natalie Cole, oh..”Voices That Care”! Not really a push or a punch, more of a tickle I think. Whatever you select, I'm sure I'll enjoy it (whether positive or negative towards DF).

as a semi-side note, I was poking around YouTube and found a video for “Love Lights the World” where Foster and The Red Army Choir collaborated (1987)- have you seen/heard it?

I swear (not meant to be an All-4-One reference), between you and “Hitman” (and my obsessive-compulsive behavior), I have learned so much about David Foster in the past few months, more than any human needs to know. Thanks.
