Produced by Bryan Adams.  Recorded by Ben Dobie.  Mixed by Bob Clearmountain at Mix This, Los Angeles.

The following quote is from an article by Kirk LaPointe, managing editor of The Vancouver Sun newspaper:

"Arguably the strongest song on 11, Tonight We Have The Stars has a serendipitous quality that speaks volumes about how Bryan works and networks: a lyric from last decade with Gretchen Peters, a new piece of music sent by Vallance and a new melody from Adams. He pulled the pieces off his Mac on an airplane and began mumbling the result to the surprise of his seatmates. Presto, the song that built the foundation for the album".

Below:  this is my "first draft" recording of Tonight We Have The Stars ... the original "audio email" that I sent to Bryan. It was a quick recording done in my home studio in Vancouver, but Bryan was able to turn this humble snippet into a song.

"Tonight We Have The Stars" was mixed by Bob Clearmountain at his "Mix This" studio in Los Angeles.  Nothing unusual about that ... Bob has been mixing Bryan's records for decades.  What's interesting is, the other three participants were monitoring the mix from many miles away:  I was in Canada, Bryan was in Brazil, and Ben Dobie was in England. Give or take a few milliseconds, we were all hearing the mix "live", streaming on a dedicated, encrypted iTunes channel.

After each pass of the mix we'd send our comments to Bob on iChat. A moment later Bob would "roll tape" again, and we'd hear the suggested changes unfold in close-to-real time. 

This might not seem unique to everyone, but for me, considering the technology that existed when I started in the music business nearly 50 years ago, this is like science fiction. I can only imagine where things will be, 50 years from now!
