The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

Hey, did they introduce Liz as Elizabeth Chorley? I thought that she was going by Eliza James in public (Chorley is not a commercial name you know... how many famous Chorleys have there been? google and find out...) :lol: :lol: :lol: Guess which Englishman who lives in Oklahoma who has a violin play...

Is a very entertaining commercial band that does a pretty good cover of Burt's records and you can check them out at: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=26133937 just cut and paste and go.... and in one of those L.A. things ... a symbiosis... or a synchrony...

Ok, those few of you who have e-mailed me know that my daughter plays violin in his small(ish) group under he stage name of Eliza James... Well as a hardworking session musician she gets jobs all over Hollywood and she gets a credit under her real name for work she did on "March of the Penguins...

my daughter is the newest, lowest on the totem pole (and youngest) of the band... she played a couple of gigs in hawaii last year, but it was only after a three hour interview/tryout... alone... in the studio... with Burt.... (intimidating... you bet) that she got the job. It doesn't have enough ful...

well you coould see Elizabeth just under the arms of the two professional dancers as they came together. Elizabeth and one or two others of Burt's band will be at the Sundance Film festival playing with Cody Carpenter (son of John Carpenter the Horror movie producer) for a few gigs.... hoping she'll...

Your average Bacharach fan is.... cool

David

But if the poster had read my previous post he would have known that several days earlier...

it helps to know people....

Not Dancing as far as I know... although the bloke is quite fit (probably outrun me...) My informant says he will be on the 'results' night....

David

Everyone's favorite cool composer is going to be on "Dancing with the Stars" in January... my daughter has informed me. January 6th is the recording date.


David

Yes you're right.
At this time in a person's life and career, branching out into a different style and risking alienating the faithful is a bold and unconventional thing to do. Props to Rob Shrock for his creative input... he gets overlooked too often.

David

Thanks for the inside "scoop" David. How unfortunate - that someone who likes Burt well enough to seek a pass would resort to such name calling. Reading between the lines - I am guessing that your daughter travels with Burt. If you by chance are either the father of Josie or Donna you sho...

I, too, had the pleasure of attending the Vegas concert and the night I went ( Fri 11th) the audience was very supportive of the new ATT material and Burt's comments about the White House. No hecklers that night. It's true..he interacts with the audience, is extremely appreciative of their enthusia...
