The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

You can all be very jealous as my wife and I got to sit through the sound check for tonight's performance... Just imagine Burt and the band playing " just for us".... <very wide grin which may never go away>

Yes she went there, played 5 gigs. Once, when we were in Philadelphia as a family, we went to Moennig's which is like a piece of the 19th century, to try out violins: they let her play a Guarneri valued at $500,000 and I held my breath.... Didn't buy it....

I will try to get some inside scoop when they get back from Japan, but the mega touring Burt is going to be in SF for a private gig.... The Man is Unstoppable .

Yes, Nowmedical, I do: but I am currently restrained from revealing what is happening next out of respect for my daughter's employer.

So Burt's song is a victim of the interstate system. 24 hours from Tulsa is Philadelphia, or Los Angeles, if you drive through.

But, I am in Tulsa and I keep asking Ms. Eliza to drop a hint or two that Burt should hit the town....

Domo arigato Vincent......
