Re: Kennedy Center Honorees

KC ignores Burt. This can't happen, so it becomes ever more important that KC mends its ways. It is almost as if KC grows in importance every time it gives additional evidence that it is incapable of noticing the gorilla in the room.

Re: Brian Wilson's Gershwin album

That's interesting. I remember saying Burt sd've been invited for this. (Which is not to say that he wasn't or that he sd've accepted it if he had been.) More recently, I wrote: "The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that no one but Gershwin is in his league. Leading a second tier ...

Re: interesting reviews of burt's albums

Come In Ogni Ora/Every Other Hour is one of my favorite Bacharach songs. The live Karima/Biondi/Bacharach performance is the best kind of entertainment I could possibly hope for. Sheer artistry and joie de vivre coming through vividly. I also love You've Got It All Wrong and the Oscars 2000 suite. I...

Re: A review of the show 'The Sounds of Burt Bacharach'

There's no way I can attend, but I have to thank you for this thorough review through the eyes, I mean, the ears, of a true Bacharach afficionado. If there was a way of sending them a note about the mistakes (I mean, not just about the "missses", but the "hits" as well)... It's s...
