Subject: Burton You are all classs

Burton after reading all your reply's today just reafirms to me that you are one class person. I've seen you in concert approx 100 times and have been lucky to have had a picture done with you back in 1977 at Mcmaster University (the same show that the girls came on stage and hit you with a pie in the face) I also was able to attend an after show party at Hamilton Place the same week you sold out 5 nights there. You were a class guy then and you still are. You are also the best Rock & Roll singer of all time in my opinion for what that is worth.

Hey Chilli...thanks for the kind words...100 times in concert...that's unbelievable...I recall that incredible run at Hamilton Place...I think we recorded some of those shows for a live album that never came out..there's stil a pile of stuff in the Sony/Columbia vaults...maybe some day...
I'm really touched by all these postings and I can't possibly answer them all, but I'm doin' what I can...all this c space attention has blown me away...and thanks again to Debbie for putting this site together...we are working on one of our own now as well...
Once again, I am touched by your opinions of me...thank you for caring so much...

Luck and Health

BC

I guess that means we've done our job as fans. If we can inspire you a fraction of what you've done for us...(no copy intended, a little common quirk) then that would be the ultimate compliment. I can recall a couple of times during your career when I wished for the ability to do so. I remember during the making of "Tears are not enough", when you were talking with Neil Young, that you seemed somewhat despondent. All the time, I was thinking: We're out here waiting, just load up the piano and hit the road. From the time I stood outside the old gates at CNE listening to a flute sound check (before I was old enough to stay out for a concert) til UC&A at Winspear, you've been a rock: strength,inspiration and comfort. If I had any lyrical talent at all, I would have written "A storyteller from the fold, and tho I've heard the ones he's told, they come back when I'm walking"...about you. Well, suffering from insomnia (and I couldn't have picked a better night for it) I could ramble all night...and I've already bared my soul much more than I would by the light of day, so I better stop before AW cuts me off.

I was at the McMaster show as well. Got some photos of the event. (Not of the 2 ladies who put the pie in Burton's face) By The way, Burton went right into Albert Flasher immediately after the pie. Was supposedly the last show of the tour and the band was in a relaxed mood. Burton did Got To Find Another Way and also The Skin Will Be The First To Go. I was at the Hamilton Place shows as well. The sound in that auditorium is incredible and the shows I saw were outstanding. Burton played for 2.5 hours with a full band and had the audience in the palm of his hand. I have always assumed that Draggin Them Down The Line and Charlemagne were from those shows. Mark
