Late on Thursday, Clinton held court with singer-songwriter Elvis Costello and his wife, jazz sensation Diana Krall, at a chic party featuring sushi and champagne.

Thanks for the post. If I recall correctly, Diana performed at the White House when Mr. Clinton was President...

I ran across this old thread about Diana from a newsgroup. Some of it is really amusing.

One interesting tidbit that I'm not sure about: Is Diana really Bill Clinton's favorite singer?

Diana Krall: Opinions

It was ironic today.. someone told me that Diana was coming to Vancouver to sing at a private function that Bill Clinton was to attend. Her husband is a doctor and apparently was contacted to be on standby, as are many apparently when a high level dignitary comes to town in case there is an emergency of some sort.. so, she promised me she would let me know when...
and there as I am watching the television it comes on the evening news.
The function was a 5000.00 per person dollar function, but was no mention what it was.
I think it was restricted to 20 people or so, and the cameraman got a shot of Diana from the back entering what was described as a waterfront West Vancouver mansion and attended by a number of financial experts and some former chair of Lions Gate Studios..

later this evening. 10 couples will have dinner with Clinton and it was for a donation of 100,000.00 per couple!!

Guess who's coming to dinner

TOWN TALK I Former U.S. president Bill Clinton will reportedly be the guest at a $10,000-a-couple West Van event


Vancouver Sun


October 29, 2005


SCOTT ARMSTRONG, the interim West Vancouver police chief, should have Radcliffe Avenue buttoned up tight Sunday night. That's when former U.S. president Bill Clinton will reportedly dine at former stockbroker Frank Giustra and wife Allison's waterfront schloss.

The $10,000-a-couple tab shouldn't be a burden for guests like Terry Alexander. He's the stock promoter who was fined a slap-on-the-wrist $2,000 recently for breaching a B.C. Securities Commission order banning him from trading securities or acting as a director or officer of any issuer until 2019.

"My tours are very limited," Streisand says. "I speak to my friends, to people like Diana Krall, who said she toured 300 out of 365 days..."

Havertown's Denny Somach got a call Wednesday: Be in New York Friday to interview Bill Clinton for a one-hour radio special to support the ex-president's book Giving. Somach, who produced the special, says he's fielding calls of interest from all over, though there's no Philly outlet yet. Clinton talks about his musical heroes and let on that his current favorite artist is Diana Krall.

Thanks scielle -- pretty impressive that you recalled a post from over two years ago!

Bill definitely needs to pay a visit here, don't you think? Chris, over to you!!

Chuckle. Bill has a full plate assisting Hillary with her presidential run, don'tcha think, Bud? It's cool that DK is at the top of his musical list, ain't it? I like that Bill fella.

More from Bill --

Clinton also dished about his iPod downloads, which include tunes by Diana Krall: "I love her."
