Subject: Gasp...
I was at the mike, making my introduction for my performance of "Timeless Love" on Saturday night. It started something like this, "You all know very well that my favorite female performer is the late Patsy Cline, but our next song is by my favorite male performer, Burton Cummings..." AND I heard this gasp from someone in the audience - stage right. Maybe it was more of a "yelp". Anyway, I couldn't see who it was, so I contined with something like "best known as the lead singer of The Guess Who... successful solo career... and we'd like to render our version of Timeless Love". The song went very well (what you can do with that song -- yum), and the audience loved it. But I had to find out who yelped. I found her during intermission. She is such a Burton fan that she has a cat named Burton Cummings. All the info I shared with her on the reunion, Burton's remastered solo CD's etc., was all new to her. I plan to send her the addy for the board. I don't know what moniker she might choose, but her name is Teri and she is from Sterling, VA. The great thing is, we both made the decision right there that we will attend TGW reunion concert together when/if it comes in our vacinity. For me the singing of that song and meeting another Burton fan have made this a Valentine's to remember.
Happy Valentine's Day.

That is a great story! I would have gasped too! Timeless Love is one of my favorites. I remember hearing it live many times back when Henry Small was with Burton - the two of them together on that song was something special. My husband and I have six cats, but I haven't gone as far as naming one of them Burton - guess that's because I remember he doesn't like cats.

What? BURTON doesn't like cats? Oh that's a shame. I, too, WANTED to name my cat Burton but my husband said only if we could get a dog and name it Shania. I thought that would be a GREAT idea. He didn't get the point. So the cat is Elmo Zumwalt instead....

Hey Heidi, where are you from anyway? I know a Stephanie Zumwalt here in Oregon, and Zumwalt is not that common a name. Are you related? Her husband's name is Mike. My maiden name isn't common at all, in fact all the Crammatte's across the US are the same family, so I was just wondering about your name.

Ah, sorry, I went with "Elmo Zumwalt," that is the name of a previous Admiral, Chief of Naval Operations (kind of a 'president' of the Navy) from many years ago, when I was first in the Navy (late '70's); he was considered a major mover and shaker of change in the Navy, and a good guy, and he just died about a month ago. So, I named my cat after him!
