hose of us who were at the CNE in Aug were lucky enough to hear Burton do that for the first time- knocked me on my @$$. Wayne from TO, Rhapsody, Donna B., Dom (DOAC) I was so glad he did it again in Winnipeg' I told Moonbean Maker "Oh wow, he's going to do that song we were talking about after the CNE .listen, this is great-you're gonna love it" I love it, it's so bluesy. So perfectly Burton's "style"

I'm a new fan, but nothing has moved me like this man's music. I can't believe I managed to miss hearing it before. (One of the drawbacks of living in the states? I know, it's no excuse.) The years wasted! Now I can't get enough of it. Whatever frequency his music broadcasts on is where my spirit is tuned. I know I haven't been a fan for as long as all of you, but have mercy! When you talk about his version of "Mack the Knife" think about those of us who can only try to imagine what it sounds like. I can't wait for the tour!
