It is at least true that the sweet-flowing harmonies of this mother-and-daughter act have earned them a brace of awards, including a 1985 Grammy, and sprightly record sales and airplay.

The invitation claims that the fair-market value of a ticket is $10,700, but you get added value for pitching in $1 million, including four invitations to a dinner where Bush and his wife will be hosts, two invitations to a celebrity golf event, entree to a private VIP reception and a luxury train trip...
