The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

I, like many of us on this forum, communicated with Keith outside this forum. We got to know each other via emails and notes that were included with CDs that he so generously made for me. I am amazed that not once did he ever refer to being ill, which apparently he was during the time I got to know ...

Dear Keith,
This song is in my top five, thank you, this is great.

This is so great, how fun! Thanks for passing it along, it really brightened up my day.

Thank you again Keith for sharing these treasures.

Bernie, Pity you missed the HOuston concert. Burt played with and conducted the full Houston Symphony Orchestra. It was terrific.

FYI: The tickets are no longer available.....MissYvonne

Hi Gang, I know it's very last minute, but my tickets for tonight's BB performance with the Houston Symphony at Jones Hall in Houston have become suddenly available. Before I either hand them back to the house, or find someone to give them to, I want to offer them to anyone in the area who might be ...

Hey Guys! I am so excited, I am going to be at each Houston concert....anyone else going?

Cheers,
MissYvonne

Thanks for the great report about the concert. Makes me a little anxious (for Burt) about the Houston concerts. I realize that OC is very Republican, but the greater Houston area is also very specifically pro Bush.
I guess we'll see what happens...

I, like a lot of us on this forum, am in total awe of this video clip, and all who I have forwarded this clip to (including those who are not specifically fans of the Maestro) are also similarly blown away. I have played this song from sheet music but have never heard it performed. I agree, this is ...

I am very excited about this concert series. I am new to Houston, and am curious about these performances with the Houston Symphony, they have a "robust" Pops season scheduled. I saw BB at BBKings in April, very intimate and fun show, this will be very different. The maestro specifically m...

Hi Gang, This morning I went to the Jones Hall Box Office to get tickets for Burts perfomances in Houston early October, it was the first day that tickets went on sale to the public. THis is a great venue, and there are still very good seats available. I encourage of those of you interested to come ...

Looks like we are the only ones on this list that will be at the Texas concerts! Austin is very tempting.....I may very well be there too! I saw Burt at BBKings, and doubt that these two venues will be the excitement that was part of the intimacy of those performances.

Hope so.....I plan to be there every night! MissYvonne

Yes, thank you so much! I lost the soundtrack years ago (my boyfriend ran off with my amazing vinyl collection), and it was wonderful hearing an old friend again. Can't wait until that DVD comes out.
