This is really cute. From Extra TV online a question to Mark Mcgraff
Jeff: Mark, how was it doing "Party For Two" with Shania? Did you know her before the video?
Mark: I didn't. I was a fan, like everybody else, and I was surprised when her husband, Mutt Lange, who's her producer (and one of the most successful producers in the business; I'm a fan of his, too), personally called and asked if I'd like to do the duet. I said, "Is everybody else busy? I mean, why are you calling me?" But of course I jumped at the chance and went over to Europe for the song, the video and a promotional tour. Now she's become a friend, which is amazing, to think you have Shania as a friend.
We took private planes, went to lots of shows in Holland and Germany, she gets escorted everywhere, and the mayor shuts down the street. She's at such a superstar level, but she's the most down-home, girl-next-door-type person ever. She kind of laughs at the whole thing and doesn't expect it. It's inspirational how she handles things. She's the most normal-person mega-superstar, two things you don't usually hear in the same sentence.

Sometimes I find it hard to believe that someone can be this big of a superstar and yet be such a normal down to earth woman. Shania is truely in her own class :great:
