In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice, there is.

If I were a billionaire like Ted Turner, then I, too, would hire Burt to play at my birthday party. Ted turned 70 years old, by the way.

A few years ago, I read or heard that Dan Snyder (Sneider?), the owner of the Washington Redskins, is also a big Burt fan, and that for some family event, perhaps a birthday party, he flew Burt to his home on the Potomac and paid him handsomely to entertain for the evening!

If Burt hadn't appeared, I'm sure there would have been "Tears at the Birthday Party"!
