Another great song and arrangement

Post by Steve Schenck »

I think the topic of Burt's great arrangements is a terrific one. A song I've loved since I first heard it in 1971 on a juke box in a Boys Club in New Jersey, is "Long Ago Tomorrow." BJ Thomas's rendition is superior, I think. And listen to the creative and unusual use of the strings, the percussion, the key changes... and of course the terrific ending!
