Hey! Hi Steve, How are you.... Susan...

Burt's the Best! Every day - and then, not just Every Other Hour!

Happy Burtday!!!!! (Is this not a holiday yet?!)

Dear Burt - You have enriched my life so much with your endless stream of talent! Thanks for so much attention to detail, to subtlety and creative invention! Who but you would have given such attention to the "bah, dah, dah!" in The World is a Circle; who but you could have turned the jazz light sung version of "Wives and Lovers" into that magnificent orchestral instrumental you gave us on your album; who but you would have dared such works as "And the People were with Her," "Futures," "Another Spring will Rise," "New York Lady," "Summer of '77," and countless other gems?? You are not just a genius; you're a generous genious and we are all the richer for it. Happy Birthday, God bless you and yours!

I would like to free-ride on Steve Schenck's statement. I want to Say Yesss to that. And to this:

I can`t improve on the above, I just wanted to contribute my best wishes to the man who rescued popular music when it was all but gangrenous. Who knew there was more to be done and then some? Only Burt!

Last summer I had the chance to see Burt play live in Madrid. I waited after the concert and he signed me two CDs, he was extremely nice.

Congratulations, you're the best !
