Burt on Apprentice

Hey guys, I was just going to post about the show when I saw you had beaten me to it. I was totally surprised and it was a great treat. I do think the team showed little class in their arguing in front of Burt and the world but I guess they have a pattern here lol. I did like the song with lyrics in...

glad he still performs

Oh, I marvel at his stamina and I will forever be grateful that he still performs. It is a gift to us all and the fact that he makes it accessable to most who really want to attend. I know the accident with his shoulder was not easy but he didn't let it slow him up for long. What a spirit he has. He...

Sad

What a sad day for those who loved this man and his music. I grew up with him as a teen and like many didn't find the common thread until I discovered a man called Burt. Wow!!! I never had the opportunity to see him live, but have many memories of his music. Condolences to his family and friends. Al...

Ft.Myers, Fl. concert March 29

Hey guys, Are any of you going to be at the Ft. Myers concert on the 29th and that would be Wednesday. It's sort of hard on a work night for many I realize and we drive over an hour to get there from the small town I was raised in. Clewiston is about 1 mile long and 60 miles from Ft. Myers to the We...

OK Mr. (u know who u r Vinny). I do think I made a small post but felt it had been said much better by "Heartlight" aka Barbara. Mark has a few kinda bad pictures of us, meaning they are a bit dark. The camera must have been scanned once too many, but hasn't had time to adjust them for the...

somewhere in time

I adore this song and it was also featured in the Christopher Reeve movie of the same name along with Rachmoninoff's ..bad spelling 18th variation. I had it played at my daughters wedding.

No apologies necessary from my end.....I believe beautiful spirits gravitate to like kinds. I adore "How Do you Keep The Music Playing" So much I used to wish Burt had written it lol. There are so many. I wonder if Burt also loves his music? Have you ever heard johnny Mathis sing it? SOOOO...

I just read my email from David and as it turns out the gorgeous 20 something blonde playing violin is his daughter and she was wonderful. Burt introduced her and said it was her first tour with them but he felt not the last. I always miss the sound of the effect of many violins in a full orchestra,...
