BC's excerpt about how gerry Marsden made him feel and how BC decided to never deny anyone a small piece of his time reminded me of this funny story I thought you guys would laugh at. When BC came in 96 to the Jack Singer, we went as a family. My sister that is two years younger than me and myself were lucky enough to have one of the opening acts take down an object each for BC to sign (mine was his Winnipeg Jets hockey card). Well, my other sister (my "liitle" sister, 7 yrs my junior) was all upset because she didn't get anything and had printed up a little sign for BC on our computer (said something like "BC #1 Great!-- she was only 11). So my mom managed to find one of the sound crew and tracked BC down to a nearby pub. What was so amazing was that he motioned to her to come to him from a large group of people. He asked for her name, she told him it was "Corynn", and he asked how to spell it. She did, and, seeing as how that is such an odd spelling, BC said something like "That's original". Well, me little sister, true to form even until this day, said "Yeah, I know. My parents are weird".
No one other than Corynn from my family got to talk to BC that day, and when she did, the thing she said was that her parents were weird. What a lucky little brat.
At any rate, I just thought it was a good example of how BC stayed true to his promise to himself, and, in effect, his admirers. It meant the world to her and she still proudly displays the _framed_ piece of paper in her room.
Just though you all could get a good laugh out of that. I still do.

Awwww....Mandrew, what a great story! I can picture Burt doing just that. If he had the time, he would answer everyone's questions. I've never witness him being rude (only in jest) to anyone. He truly appreciates his fans...gee, without us fans, where would the artist be? I feel that he's a great guy to admire. He's talented, intelligent, articulate and has a good heart. How I wish all artists were that way.
