TODAY D3 HONOLULU STAR-BULLETIN SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 2002 Isle Beatles tribute next project for Parsons A Goffrey Townsend, John En-twhistle's guitarist; and drummer Steve Murphy from Trans-Siberia Orchestra. Parsons was the head engineer at Abbey Road Studios in London, where he engineered Beatles records and Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon." As a child he played piano, guitar and flute but later took on the role of listener rather than player. In the late '60s he turned his attention to a career at Abbey Road, where he worked with the Beatles as assistant engineer on the "Let It Be" and "Abbey Road" albums. A long association followed with the studio and Paul Mc- (I -a 1 than just embellish my decided to make the the show." kick off the second annual Walk Down Abbey Road: the Beatles 4 A Walk Down Abbey Road Where: Blaisdell Arena When: 7 p.m. tomorrow Tickets: $35 at the Blaisdell box office and Ticket Plus outlets Call: 593-8333 By Tim Ryan tryanstarbulletin.com ALAN PARSONS is sitting on his patio just minutes from downtown Santa Barbara, while at a next-door neighbor's house, a dozen roosters are crowing so loud that his dog charges the fence barking to shut them up.

"Hard to believe this is almost the middle of the city," he says. "That's one reason I love it here." Parsons, 53, is one of the most celebrated rock 'n' roll engineers in history and leader of the Alan Parsons Project. Now he's in Honolulu for his debut as one of a half-dozen acclaimed musicians kicking off the second annual tour of "A Walk Down Abbey Road: A Tribute to the Beatles" tomorrow at the Blaisdell Arena. Joining Parsons are blue-bloods of rockdom: Jack Bruce (Cream), Todd Rundgren, Christopher Cross, Grand Funk's Mark Farner and Eric Carmen. The "house orchestra" will include Bruce; Parsons; "Rather show, we Beatles Alan Parsons In town to tour of "A A Tribute to cluding "I Robot," "Pyramid," "Eve," "The Turn of a Friendly Card," and "Eye In the Sky." In addition to receiving gold and platinum awards Internationally, Parsons has received 10 Grammy nominations for engineering and production.

The Beatles "Tribute" was conceived by Parson to spice up his act. "We were looking for a way to make our show more exciting and get some big names involved, but then we didn't think getting the names alone would be enough," he said. Parsons toyed with the idea of adding Pink Floyd material to his show, but as the tour was about to begin last year, the idea of a Beatles tribute popped up. "It seemed like a good idea because their greatest-hits album was No. i on the charts, so rather than just embellish my show, we decided to make the Beatles the show," he said.

"This was all Parsons' concept," Rundgren said. "I've done this thing before, albeit with a real Beatle; I've been out with Ringo twice. That may be the reason I got a ring to do this, but he didn't call me up and say, 'What do you want to He already had the concept, sort of an Alan Parsons Beatle Project." Parsons is not as comfortable playing live as he is being behind the scenes. "I don't have the pedigree like the other guys," he said. "I'm no singer, really, and usually just put the song list together and have arrangements in place.

My Job has always been in the studio." More pragmatically, being a studio engineer gave Parsons longevity in a difficult business and "the power to develop and change as a producer," he said. That's included started a company devoted to improving the sound quality of film and George Davis, center, held the guitar he won in the Star-Bulletin Father's Day contest The guitar from Harry's Music was signed by "A Walk Down Abbey Road" musicians, from left, Todd Rundgren, Jack Bruce and Christopher Cross. jf 0bMUCH DEBT?

His "London Calling" developed into an MTV series, and he was instrumental in the creation of Music Box, the European music cable service. Parsons' next album expected to be completed next year will be a departure. "It has a lot more electronic flavor, which I hope will make it more appealing to a less mature audience," Parsons said, laughing.

When the Beatles split up, Parsons went on to engineer such classics as Wings' "Red Rose Speedway" album and the singles "Hi Hi Hi" and Moon." He had a similar association with the Hollies, working on hits such as "He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother" and "The Air That 1 Breathe." In 1974, Parsons and Eric Woolfson, with whom he had worked at Abbey Road, started adapting selected works of Edgar Allen Poe to music.

Two years and thousands of feet of tape later, the Alan Parsons Project was born: The highly acclaimed "Tales of Mystery and Imagination" album Parsons' favorite was the first in a series of award-winning albums in and DVD to be released in December. The HVCB, according to Disney officials, made the decision "to partner up," after seeing a rough cut of the film last December. "They wanted to be a part of this wonderful film," said Thomas Schumacher, Disney's president of animation. Hawaiian Airlines flew 41 members of the Kamehameha Schools Children's Chorus and eight chaperones, director Lynell Bright and co-director Clarke Bright to Los Angeles on Wednesday for a five-day stay. The chorus will arrive two hours early at the El Capitan for the first of two performances at 1 and 6 p.m.

tomorrow. ABC's "Wonderful World of Disney," also airing tomorrow, will feature several "Lilo Stitch" segments. "Lilo Stitch: Albha from Hollywood," will also air at 8 p.m. Friday on KITVABC. Viewers will follow Lila on her home movie tour as she visits locations that inspired the film.

Along the way, they'll meet six-time world champion surfer Kelly Slater and learn the significance of the Elvis Presley songs featured in the film. bo Many Dills? 7 i Low Cost Helpful Staff FREE Consultation i Dawn Smith 521-6600 unww hankn A Kf I I UATIMIIC Al shews before 6 pm everyday indicated by Always Free Validated Parking All Digital sai-Tin 0MNE SECRETES OF TWYAYA SSTBWOOD (PO-13) (2flO 45) 730 HMD SAT MCMOHT (1230 AKIRA(NR) (16430) 7fi045 SAT.
