The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

Hello friends! Regarding the San Diego concert, there is a interesting new about the Burt performance. Probably he will only play the piano and the band direction will be made by Rob Shrock, his nearest collaborator. This concert will be only an occasion to check the Burt situation on stage. Maybe the concert will be a little short than usual, probably in two acts. Are only technical information but the source is reliable. I wish a good concert to all of you!

Thank you so much for the news. At least he will be there hopfully. I am soooooooo sorry to see him still not up to full speed after all this time but as we age these things can happen. God bless him .
Will you be there as well ?
Best regards ,Alvina

Hello Burt!!!!be strong and brave...cheers from italy...GABBA

Hi all again,
I just read a post from you Laura and have heard so much about you. I am Wishin and Hopin we can actually say hello. I know you are an avid fan as I have been since 1969..YIKES and some of the best things are meeting you all. Barbara aka Heartlight has posted that our table is front row and to the right so if we can'r see you please come up and say hi. That would be just great.
Love to you,
Alvina

Hi Alvina,

My husband and I are flying in from Baltimore to attend the concert with his brother and friend who live in San Diego. I don't know where we are sitting since they bought the tickets, but I think we are in the "Champagne" section too. I will definitely look for you in the front row. I will be wearing a white hat. I'll pick up extra program books for Vincent and his wife and Jeanne and her husband. I'm excited about the trip! I fear this may be the last time we see Burt performing.

See you Sunday!
Laura

I am sure we won't be too far apart and hopfully we will arrive early enough to meet some of you . So excited, i can hardly wait. i fly to san Diego on saturday so i will be rested for the concert.
Just too bad Vincent can't join us. He will be missed a lot.
Love to you all.
Alvina

HI Laura,

I hope you enjoyed the concert as much as Alvina and I did.
We were happy to finally catch up with you and were hoping to see you after the show.
After running to pick up an article I had to leave at the security desk, I looked for you but couldn't find you.
You did mention that your friends might not have wanted to hang around.
Take care,
Barbara

Bonjour Barbara;

Alvina sent me the photos that you and her took after the show with Burt!

I must say Barbara, the smile on your face says it all (lol)!

Take care mon ami.

Vincent

I did a brief video review talking about his concert on August 8
and it is now playing in Channel 10 of Torontotv http://torontotv.net/channel10.html
within the Halo Halo Variety Channel which is a shared channel.
It is also on Youtube.com, Video.ca, Vimeo.com and inoutside.biz It is
part of my trip review to California. It's too bad there was no opportunity
to meet Burt Bacharach but I suppose there will be other events...

Just pushing the legitimate threads to the front...

Again...

Danke, GehVorbei !!!
So I'll do my part , too, to suppress those trashy threads. Hopefully, Mark will take care of them in a swift and definitive manner.
Let's get back to all that is BURT !!!
