In the middle of the 4th blizzard in March I made it to Paul McCartney's home for an interview that turned out to be the most memorable day that I've had in years.
As I was getting Paul ready for his interview I was helping him read lines and just being present to help, not that Paul needs any help with interviews as he's a wealth of knowledge about any subject.
The interview will air all over social media on the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s death. With so much going on in the world it was refreshing to hear words of peace and hope. Paul spoke of his duet with Stevie Wonder "Ebony & Ivory". Perfect choice!
As Paul was wrapping up his interview I turned to find Meryl Streep standing behind me. I think Paul was even a bit star struck.
Both Paul & Meryl nailed it in 2 takes , enough time for all of us to get home before the blizzard gained momentum.
Driving home in the storm I felt blessed in every way. Life is so GRAND and I get to sit on the sidelines and watch it play out.
I'm so very proud of this piece that I did for Stevie Wonder. I did most of the artists in New York City, so I am not claiming I did all of them as most were shot at their studios & in LA.

The message is what matters!
“On April 4th, 1968 at 7:05 p.m. Central Time, Dr. King’s life was cut tragically short. 50 years later a need for his dream to be fulfilled is far greater than ever. This is precisely why, the dream still lives.
Please create and post your own Dream Still Lives video with #DreamStillLives. Spread love...spread hope.
