Billster Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Christopher Guest to receive Honorary Doctorate. The 20072008 Sovereign Bank Music Series at Berklee presents writer, director, actor, musician, and Grammy Award-winning composer Christopher Guest. This showwith Guest guesting on guitar and vocalswill feature Berklee students and faculty interpreting his music from This Is Spinal Tap, A Mighty Wind, and Waiting for Guffman in surprising new ways. OK. At the concert, Berklee will present Guest with an honorary doctor of music degree in recognition for his exploration of the cultural and comic possibilities of folk, rock, and musical theater in his films. Says Berklee president Roger Brown, "Talk to any rock, blues, or jazz musician and you are likely to find that they can quote This Is Spinal Tap chapter and verse. 'Turning it up to eleven,'... Indeed. Buy my CD on CD Baby! Bill Hartzell - the website MySpace?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantasticsound Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 This is a neat honor in light of the extreme care Guest, Shearer and McKeon are so diligent in recreating whatever type of music as well as the characters who play it as honestly and thoroughly as possible. It's easiest to find me on Facebook. Neil Bergman Soundclick fntstcsnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smirk Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I always tell my students that D minor is the saddest of all keys. Very cool, congrats to Mr Guest. Wonder what the new Linkin Park album would sound like if they didn't have Perfect Circle to steal from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
