I think what struck me when I revived my interest in Burt on this seaside holiday was quite how many brilliant songs he'd written over the years. Hit after hit and every one different, every one a stand alone piece of art. Love it! It's been nice seeing him having a renaissance in recent years.

Actually one of the things I remember about those long car trips in the 60s when I was VERY young (let me make that very clear, snort!) is that you could hear all sorts of things on the radio. Musicals. A bit of classical. Pop music. Rock and roll. Nice way to get a musical education.

I...Hola Anna! <br /><br />A topic near and dear to my heart!<br /><br />It's definitely the syncopated rhythms of Burt's compositions that make them difficult to play. As a child, I had a mad crush on Burt. :) I grew up listening to his music and had a couple of his songbooks for piano. He and Hal David were quite a team. <br /><br />His music is the perfect inspiration for writing.
