 That's Right Dave
More than just a sidekick for David Letterman, world-renowned bandleader Paul Shaffer has done it all. He’s conducted a jam with Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, Tina Turner, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, and Jeff Beck, served as the musical director of The Blues Bothers; enjoyed a quick chat with Prince Charles, learned the blues from Eric Clapton, and persuaded celebrities like Tina Fey, Nathan Lane, Bill Murray and Donald Trump to join in his James Brown cape ritual on Letterman’s show. Now, in his lively, entertaining, and laugh-out-loud memoir We'll Be Here for the Rest of Our Lives: A Swingin’ Show-Biz Saga, Paul Shaffer charts his rise from a music-rich childhood of Thunder Bay, Canada, to international fame as David Letterman’s musical director and sidekick for almost 30 years.
