Dear Burton,
(I cannot believe I just typed that!!) I just discovered this website and your presence herein yesterday. I haven't been this excited since the night I met you in Rockford, IL, October 15, 1987. To be able to converse with you is more than I ever dreamed could happen. Thanks for making yourself so accessible to those of us who love and respect you and your music so very much. I chose this message to respond to because you listed in it all of my favorite songs. I just recently got a copy of "Woman Love" and heard "Heavenly Blue" for the first time. Breathtaking.
Thanks for being so willing to wear your heart on your sleeve for all of us to share. Janet must have been one very special girl to have inspired such heart-wrenching emotion. Does she know what she's been missing all these years? I wish there was a way to express to you in words just what you and your music have meant to me for the past thirty years. I've never stopped listening to it, and the thirteen-year-old photo of myself with you in Rockford is still prominently displayed both in my home and at my job.
Fortunately, everyone, including my husband, understands.
Now, to ask one of the gazillion questions I have for you.
What ever happened to the recordings you and Randy made and promised us you'd release following that tour in '87? In particular, "There's Something About that Woman?" Any chance you will do any of that music this summer? When do we get the US itinerary?
I could go on here forever, but I'll continue at a later time. I just want to say that meeting you was the fulfillment of my fondest fantasy, but I had nothing else to dream about after that. Now, however, another fantasy is realized, because you are there on the Internet. My heartfelt gratitude to you and to those who have made this possible. Burton, we love you beyond measure. Thank you for sharing your self with us.

Linda
