... Keep thinking that Burt - or - at least "Burt's People" read posts on this forum. ... In any event - I believe Burt is somehow aware of the admiration we have for his unparalleled accomplishments and continue to wish him well as he continues to compose and perform through the coming ye...

Re: New Dionne Album

..... Hoping for the best - while fearing the worst! .... Heard somewhere that the initial single release may be another take on "What The World Needs Now". You may recall that prior to the release of "Dionne Sings Dionne" 20 years ago - a 4 track CD was released with 4 versions ...
