Strange

Post by Marcel »

isn`t it strange that Burt never plays a song in his performances that he wrote in the Neil Diamond era?
Gems like Heartlight or Front Page Story are beautiful and great songs!
What do you all think about this?

Kind Regards,

Marcel :-)

My feeling on this is that Burt feels that people come to hear his big hits and most famous songs. "Heartlight" would certainly qualify, but "Front Page Story" would certainly not. Burt is such a genius and his oeuvre is so voluminous and great that, unfortunately, the lesser-known songs (as great as many of them are) can't make it into his program.
