Re: Linda Dorotez
Sad, sad news. I can't remember when we first corresponded or even if it was she who contacted me or me who contacted her, but I know that from the time this website entered her radar, she was wonderfully helpful and supportive. Almost all the updates I've posted in the last few years have come from...

Re: THIS HAPPENED LAST TIME MARK WENT ON HOLIDAY
We went here among other places. (Apologies for the shaky video; I shot it with my iPhone.)

Re: Promises Promises 2CD set from Kritzerland
Thanks, Joe, but I tried the Kritzerland site again and, strangely, the sold out message was gone. Needless to say, I bought a copy on the spot. I'll probably eventually pick up the revival cast recording, but I've gotta say listening to the online audio samples of Sean Hayes just made me realize ho...

Re: Promises Promises 2CD set from Kritzerland
I snoozed and I losed. The Kritzerland website says it's sold out.

Re: Discussion Board is STale
Alternate takes for many of the Warwick/Bacharach/David recordings are also stored in Warner's vaults...Who Is Gonna Love Me, I Say A Little Prayer, A House Is Not A Home, In Between the Heartaches and several others have actually been included in US and foreign compilations. And a little known fac...

Re: Burt's health problems
I haven't posted anything because I haven't gotten any "new" news. The only "inside" connection I have through Burt's publicity people, and they told me last week that while there is nothing to report officially, Burt is recovering well. Until I hear anything else, that's all I c...

BURT BACHARACH RECOVERING FROM BACK SURGERY IN LOS ANGELES LOS ANGELES, January 4, 2010 – Legendary composer and conductor Burt Bacharach is recovering from back surgery at a h...

Re: Burt `s Music On Surround System
The recording industry is desperately searching for something--anything--to boost sales, and a few years ago they tried SACD and DVD-A to see if people would respond to higher fidelity music with the bonus of 5.1 mixes. The public collectively shrugged. The problem is that relatively few people are ...

Re: Harry Connick new album....
Ha ha. No, I didn't really hang out with Harry. The closest contact I had with him was in Summer School. We both failed Algebra 2. :lol: It still kind of blows my mind he's such a big star. In high school he was more of a class clown than anything else. I remember he used to give concerts during lun...

Re: That old Dylan / "Raindrops..." story
I thought the Dylan story originated with B.J. Thomas, but I could have sworn there was an interview with Hal David somewhere where he debunked the story. It's possible Burt and Hal wrote the song "inspired" to some degree by Bob's phrasing or voice, but I can't remember if Hal confirmed t...

Re: Burt Bacharach RARE NYC performance, May 19! Tkts available.
While this sounds like a great event, Burt's publicist wanted to let me know that, contrary to emilyrosed's original post, Burt will not be doing a meet-and-greet with guests who purchase tickets via the link above. She wasn't sure where that idea originated, but she wanted to let everyone know it w...
