A House Is Not A Homepage: The Music of Burt Bacharach

Bill Minnick writes that a concert date has just been announced for Burt at the Keswick Theatre in Glenside, Pa., outside Philadelphia, on Oct. 18. For a complete list of Burt’s upcoming concert appearances, visit the On Tour page.

I updated the Media section with Coming of Age: Mr. Burt Bacharach, a transcript of the Feb. 10, 2002, profile of Burt on CBS News Sunday Morning.

Keep an eye out this summer and fall for two new books about Burt. Serene Dominic’s The Little Red Book of Burt Bacharach: An Illustrated Discography of Burt Bacharach (Omnibus/Schirmer Trade Books) traces Bacharach recordings from the earliest through today, including commentary from Burt and many of the artists who performed his songs. The Little Red Book of Burt Bacharach is scheduled for publication in August 2002. Robin Platts’ Burt Bacharach & Hal David (Collector’s Guide Publishing) includes interviews with Burt and Hal as well as Gene Pitney, B.J. Thomas, Steve Tyrell and others. Look for it in September 2002.
