The three actors went into a Nashville studio Tuesday to record "Amazing Grace" for the Atlantic Records soundtrack of their movie "Maverick," expected in theaters in May.
They had a little vocal assistance from Reba McEntire, Vince Gill, Clint Black, Amy Grant, Tammy Wynette, Tracy Lawrence, Waylon Jennings and others.
Singer Bonnie Raitt likes seeing young musicians do something besides making music.
"This new generation of alternative musicians is really political, and I'm glad to see it," she said.
Raitt was to play with Soul Asylum's Dave Pirner and Dan Murphy and others at a "No Nukes on the River" concert today at the University of Minnesota.
"It used to be just Jackson Browne; Kris Kristofferson; Crosby, Stills and Nash; me; and a few others doing the same old `C'mon people now, smile on your brothers' finale," she said. "There's nothing wrong with that. We just need the new blood of a younger generation to care about it as much."
Concertgoers in America could learn a thing or two about etiquette from the Japanese, flutist James Galway told a Nashville audience. In mid-concerto with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra, Galway wondered aloud how it is that in Japan, concert crowds of 2,000 or more can listen in rapt, respectful silence.
"If the Japanese can do it, surely we can," he said.
An audience sneeze guard wouldn't be a bad idea either, as far as Galway is concerned. "I don't want your plague," he said, instructing folks in the first few rows to please cover their mouths if they had to cough.
Katharine Hepburn is pleased with an action sequence she shot in Canada for "This Can't Be Love," airing March 13 on CBS. She notes that the scene, in which she leaps into a carriage and takes off with the horses, was "all Kate. We shot it at 11 p.m. in a park in Vancouver with no double except in the very long shots. That's pretty good for an 86-year-old actress."
