The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

Apologies for all the spam. I've been busy the past few days and hadn't visited the forum. I've temporarily suspended new registrations while I mull our options. In the meantime, if anyone wants to be a moderator--that is, have the abilty to delete spam posts--please contact me! I'd also welcome a c...

Hi Djalma, Happy New Year to you as well, my friend! I just made you a forum moderator. If you see any spam posts, you can click on them and you'll see some new options at the top of the screen. One of them is a tiny X. By clicking the X, you can delete the spam post. If you do delete anything, plea...

Hey Djalma, Sorry I didn't reply earlier. I've been researching anti-spambot measures in phpBB and unless I'm missing something, none seem to be 100 percent effective. I haven't found an easy plug in like the ones you see asking you to select all the pictures that have storefronts or all the picture...

I'm a fan but I do think the awarding of a Nobel Prize for literature is inappropriate. As "poetic" as his lyrics may be, they're songs and they're meant to be experienced that way.

As soon as I get confirmed dates from Burt's publicist, they get added to the On Tour Page. http://bacharachonline.com/wordpress/on-tour/ As of right now, Burt is still scheduled to play Jazz Alley in Seattle from Oct. 20-23. He also announced a new date at San Francisco's Davies Symphony Hall on No...

Ha ha. Brilliant, Bill. I was wondering what you could possibly be posting with the subject Hamilton vs. Burr

Just received a few additional summer/fall tour dates, including the Monte Carlo and Seattle shows Vincent previously mentioned as well as performances in Reykjavik and Los Angeles.

My full list (as of today, anyway) is at http://bacharachonline.com/wordpress/on-tour/

Burt will be co-hosting a screening of the new autism drama Po, which he also scored, at the Paramount Theater in Los Angeles next Tuesday, April 5. The screening is free on a first come, first served basis, but you need to RSVP in advance. For the full details, see this post from the homepage. http...

Sorry, grooverider! I totally missed your earlier posting. Yes, it's great to see it re-aired, although unfortunately getTV doesn't air in my market. I'm hoping somebody will record and post the entire show to YouTube.

The Glen Campbell clip is watermarked with getTV's logo, so someone recorded it. Maybe somebody over at the Glenn Campbell Forum can upload the whole show. I was especially impressed with the quality of the video. I've got VHS copies of Burt's TV specials from that era and the quality isn't that gre...

Just posted this on the homepage, but I saw on Facebook (thanks to Alec C.) that upstart over-the-air network getTV is airing Dionne's first network special, Souled Out, this week. Guests include Glen Campbell, Creedence Clearwater Revival, comedian George Kirby and (of course) Burt Bacharach. Here'...

I know the board has had this ability since the beginning, but since I finally updated the board to phpBB 3.1, I wanted to try it out again. Which recent Bacharach project or activity are you most excited about? If your answer is other, please post your choice as a reply to this thread.

I realize it's partly (mostly?) my fault for failing to run a tighter discussion forum, but I wonder sometimes what happened to some of the old regulars. Who here remembers Maggie? Westgate? Warbachavid? BCelarent? David Lincoln Brooks? Gil or whatever his name was? Although things sometimes went a ...

Just a reminder that Lincoln Center will be livestreaming the concert presentation of "Some Lovers" tonight, Monday, Feb. 7, at 7:30 p.m. EST. The concert, part of Lincoln Center's LC Originals: First Look series, will feature top Broadway talent performing the songs of "Some Lovers,&...
