Gabba,
Enjoyed pt. 2 much more than part !...I found myself laughing along with Burt and the audience, as he has a great sense of humor..I think he could have been a stand-up comedian. He does well with the audience...
Great..enjoyed the H out if it.

Hi Blair, First of all, I want to say that whatever the issue is, you write very elequantly languagewise... Yes, I "tacitly" was grateful for Keith's posting of rare Bacharach Tracks. I know that he "pulled back" when Mark issued his Caveat, understandably so. But then, he did po...
