Burt,

I gladly jump on David's bandwagon. Your music is an integral part of my life.

You are a renewable energy source.

Life without your music would lose much of its beauty. I don't want to think about what it would be like without it.

Thank you for bestowing your gifts upon us. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday, Mr Burt Bacharach!

Many health, peace, longevity, because his clear, thank God, enables us with great songs, including those that will be created!

It was a great pleasure to watch his show in São Paulo, on 16/04/2009, a wonderful and unforgettable night!

Be happy always!

Sincerely,

your eternal fan

Burt's music has meant more to me than I could ever express in words. There just is no substitute for a Burt Bacharach song!

Happy Burthday!

Enormous:

I totally sympathize with what you said above, if you are saying that you wish that being specific, detailed, comprehensive, could somehow reach your goal.

But I believe you said it all before -- several times. Recently you were rather specific at least in the way you summarized the importance of his music to you

///
Friedrich Nietzsche said the following:

"Without music, life would be a mistake."

With your permission, I have to amend that quotation. For me, the following is 100% true:

"Without Burt Bacharach's music, life would be a mistake."

That's how much Burt's music means to me.

No one would say that Burt's talents are wasted on you. Your many statements make you a living tribute to his music. You warm my heart and make me feel better about the world I live in.

Rio, that is so very kind of you! Thank you and God bless you.

And it's wonderful that we can all come here and express our feelings for Burt and his incredible music which has no equal.
