SONGWRITER PAUL WILLIAMS ELECTED PRESIDENT AND CHAIRMAN OF ASCAP

On 16th April, 2009 it was announced that Paul Williams was to be the new President & Chairman of ASCAP.

Paul Williams said:

"It's a great honor and privilege to be elected President and Chairman of the Board of ASCAP. On behalf of my fellow Board members, I would like to thank Marilyn for her extraordinarily productive work and the dedication she has shown over the last fifteen years. The ability to make a viable living from creating music is of critical importance not just to songwriters and composers, but also to our society as a whole."

Paul's friend and fellow songwriter Jimmy Webb was elected writer Vice Chairman to replace Williams, who held that post for the prior two years.

Congratulations Paul. Read more about the announcement here

The web site 'Ishtarthemovie' has a great interview with Paul:

ITM.COM: Any particular anecdotes of the writing or recording sessions?

PW: I spent two nights alone in the desert to write the songs where Dustin and Warren think they're dying... Came out of the desert overwhelmed with emotion... with the beauty of the desert at night.

To hear other anecdotes about Paul's contribution to the movie, as well as some great sound clips, visit the 'Ishtarthemovie.com' web site here

CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE STAGE

Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield created the `Chicken Soup for The Soul' book series (See here). The New York Times `Ten Year Top 100' best seller list includes 6 of those books. They've sold over 100 million and they're basically inspirational stories that are designed to motivate and comfort .. Over the years they've been edited for specific groups .. Chicken soup for the golfers soul .. the convicts .. the teenager .. the boating soul .. etc. etc.

I met Mark and he thought it was a natural for us to team up. He and his wife Patty .. (a regular contributor to the books) and I are going to write a book together .. Chris Caswell and I will provide the songs. The goal is to create `Chicken Soup for the Stage' ... an inspirational musical about ... well, what it's about will be decided when we begin working on it.

PAUL AND I

THE START OF A BEAUTIFUL FRIENDSHIP

On 30th September 1998 I arrived home to find the following wonderful email waiting for me

"Dave, I just updated my computer and was able to get into my Music & Acting page for the first time. I can't tell you how impressed I am with what you've done.

You're an amazing man to devote so much time and effort to my work. It touches me deeply and I just wanted you to know. Thank you and God bless.

Paul Williams"

Thanks Paul.
