The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

Now Medical, I empathize totally and hope you will get some of the airfare back in one form or another...aa replacement trip to the US for another event, maybe ? I had tickets, too, for that concert sitting with Laura in the front row ! As for slow sale, that was not the problem as I could see it. T...

Yes, Mon ami Vincent...I hope to join Laura in SFO in Dec!
And then, and then......

Sorry I'm unable to go to Kiowah in Nov but happy you will have a concert in your back yard, so to speak ..

I could not agree with you more, Chip! Too bad you didn't post that you were going to attend; it's always fun meeting fellow Burt fans at concerts..I had the pleasure of sitting with Laura( undoubtedly the most-traveled Burt fan), Vincent ( resident VIP ), Dave a friend of Vincent's and Ron Hertel (...

Ok, Jerry, I will let you know.

Hi Jerry,
I,too, might make an attempt to attend this gala! Originally from Phila, I return there
quite often.
This would be such a unique opportunity and , according to the Chamber's website, quite a wonderful evening is planned albeit an expensive one !
Maybe I'll see you there!

As always, the concert fulfilled all expectations and then some with a few new additions...I loved the number from " Butch Cassidy " ( Etta's Theme ? ) done by Dennis Wilson, Tom Ehlen, and the Symphony violonist. And Josie , just fabulous, singing " Are You There (with another girl ?...

Re-bonjour DrFeuFeu, Sympa de me répondre..effectivement la CHANCE était avec vous à Madrid. Moi, aussi, j'ai eu plusieurs "rencontres" comme ça après un concert. Pour cela, je dois lui dire "chapeau" puisqu'il est vraiment cordial surtout après avoir joué pendant deux heures. J'...

Nice to hear from you, Vincent..
and both Alvina and I are hoping a concert will pop up which you will be able to attend as well.
I know it's been toooo long without one for you !
Stay well,
B

Hi Laura,

What a nice birthday present for you !!
Yes, I certainly plan to attend and maybe we can convince Alvina to come to San Diego, too.

'til then take care,
Barbara

Thank you, Ron, for announcing the date for Burt's performance in S.D. this summer; another concert to anticipate...did you hear that, Alvina ??? And yes, I attended the show at the Belly Up on Valentine's Day... AS always, Burt and his stellar core group were fabulous...even with a change within th...

Bonjour DrFeuFeu, Je suis française par le mariage mais vis la plupart du temps ici aux States donc je suis le Forum établi ici... Je me considère une vraie FAN du Maestro et me suis posé la même question : pourquoi ses tournées ne passent jamais en France ? Connaissant les Français, je suis certain...

Thanks for the details on "Details" ....looks like Burt made a little more than I did that day !!

Just a little non-musical anecdote.. Our friends invited my husband and me to a day at the races in Del Mar on Saturday, my first time. Very coincidentally, one of Burt's horses ... "Details R Sketchy"... was running in one of the races. Needless to say, I had to put a small bet on the hor...

Danke, GehVorbei !!!
So I'll do my part , too, to suppress those trashy threads. Hopefully, Mark will take care of them in a swift and definitive manner.
Let's get back to all that is BURT !!!

HI Laura, I hope you enjoyed the concert as much as Alvina and I did. We were happy to finally catch up with you and were hoping to see you after the show. After running to pick up an article I had to leave at the security desk, I looked for you but couldn't find you. You did mention that your frien...
