Thanks to the August 7th Gang

[Steve Schenck]

Thanks guys, for all the insider details that give those of us unable to be there, a sense of what it was like. So glad everyone enjoyed the show, and it's great to hear Burt continues to be such a gentle, professional and considerate man. We really are blessed, as you said, Vince!

Bonjour Steve Schenck;

When you think things can't get much better @ a Burt Concert they do!!!

1. The Burt Concert.

2. Being with some of the core Burt Bacharach fans!

3. Meeting Burt & his core band after the show!

Those above 3 things are very special!

Take care mon ami.

Vincent

As always, the concert fulfilled all expectations and then some with a few new additions...I loved the number from "Butch Cassidy" ( Etta's Theme ? ) done by Dennis Wilson, Tom Ehlen, and the Symphony violonist. And Josie , just fabulous, singing "Are You There (with another girl ?)" and a new song from Burt's upcoming musical SOME LOVERS. John, Donna, and Josie..the Talented Triumvirate always coming through with their graceful presence and charismatic voices. The new keyboardist, Bill Cantos, spectacular; Burt even said that Bill plays piano better than he...My BB bias would prevent me from being impartial, but Bill was very, very good.

I was especially pleased to see Burt in great form. His fans need him to continue giving us these "Magic Moments"...Sorry, Burt, but we're selfish that way..just can't seem to get enough !!

Meeting other fans this time and reconnecting with ones whom I had met previously put the "icing on the concert cake", notably, Vincent, Ron and Betty, Jeanne and Tyler, Laura, and Norinne; it was very special having my friend Alvina along for the ride for the second year in a row!!

Hoping that Burt will remember his USA fans and grace us with a few more "local" concerts this year and next, either East or West coast...or anywhere in between !

Thanks to all who made Aug 7th a memorable evening ! Barbara

Bonjour Heartlight;

I had a wonderful time @ the concert and the after show! It's a great joy that I can meet people such as yourself that have the same passion for Burt's music!!! I hope to do it again next!

Take care mon amie.
