The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

I'm not sure if you saw this



and the related videos, which in turn will lead to other recent concerts in Europe.

Thanks, guys. For the reviews too. Now, who was that italian who had Burt on his radio program and gave us a preview of Where Did It Go? and Please Explain? I recorded that on a cassete tape (of all media) and listened to those clips so many times before I could get the CD... Burt and that host seem...

I'm fine with that. Oh, boy, if I'm fine with that... Yet, he chose to work with Costello, at least after he like...

If anyone knows of how we could use the net to watch the QVC program, please tell us.

Warning: long post. If you have only a few seconds to dedicate to this subject, go straight to *Great Notion Gelding Now Two-For-Two at Santa Anita* and read that. OK, immediately below, an article writeen just after Bacharach's 2-year old colt Details R Sketchy won his debut race. After that, you'l...

May not be relevant, but... At Virgin Records, in NY. Burt at the piano, Elvis at the mic. Not for a second did standing up bother me. I don't think I thought about that. Of course, it was a free event for store goers, to promote PFM. Someone once wrote in an article that being present at that event...
