Description
How does a kid go from a remote Canadian town at the tip of Lake Superior to the bright lights of Broadway and a gig leading the band on Letterman? This book is Paul Shaffer's answer to that question. From playing seedy strip joints in Toronto, to his first legitimate job out of college-which found him working with future stars (and friends) Gilda Radner, Martin Short, and Eugene Levy-to being first musical director of the nascent Saturday Night Live and helping to form the Blues Brothers, to being onstage every night with Dave and playing with the greatest musicians of our time, Shaffer has lived the ultimate showbiz life.
Now, in this hilarious, entertaining, and candid memoir-in which he dishes on everyone from John Belushi and Jerry Lewis to Mel Gibson and Britney Spears-Paul gives us the full behind-the-scenes story of his life, from banging out pop tunes on the piano at the age of 12 to leading the band every night at the Sullivan Theater.

Shaffer’s memoir is an audiobook gem!
Paul Shaffer’s “We’ll Be Here for the Rest of our Lives” is an excellent memoir by one of Canada’s most uniquely talented cats! And it might be one of the best book titles. It’s a very funny and revealing look at the highs and lows of trying to make it in an industry that isn’t known for its patience, kindness and understanding.
The saying “you can’t judge a book by its cover” has never been truer in the case of Paul Shaffer. If you don’t know Shaffer’s story but think you have him pegged, guess again. This is a wonderful look at the road to entertainment glory. It’s packed with great tales of Hollywood and the swingin’ music scene from Coast to Coast.
Paul Shaffer’s career is so much more than just being David Letterman’s faithful sidekick over all those years. And if you have a chance to listen to the Audiobook narrated by Shaffer himself, you get an even more entertaining listen as he tells his story like only he could, and nails several high profile imitations along the way!
This memoir is just as entertaining, generous and insightful as Martin Short’s “I Must Say”. No surprise really, as they are two of Canada’s biggest entertainment exports!
