Happy Anniversary to the release of "Above the Ground". I am listening to it right now and I love it!

I know where you're coming from. Got the #10 album in vinyl and digitizing it to the PC for more use. Still miss Kurt's guitar on Cardboard Empire, one of my favourites. Best wished and hang in there. G

Loved it Burton!! Your music has given me countless hours of enjoyment with many terrific memories to go along with them.
I hope you are able to continue on for a long time to come.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.It's so cool to hear about how the artist's think and do things.Keep it up!

also, being with her at this trying time is the most wonderful thing a son can do..you are being a stand up guy!!

Oh wow, you used my piano-heart icon! :D

Thanks for sharing this amazing story!!! When my son Daran and I met you at Sals on Marion, one of Daran's questions was "had you ever met Jim Morrison?" You filled him in briefly on your story. That really made Daran's day, meeting you in person, and you sharing this with him. Now we get to read in real detail!!!!! One day we need you to sign the pic taken with you that day!

Sorry to hear your mom's not doing well, my regards, I lost mine last summer, same day my grandpap died, 47 years ago in'62. Strange. You take care and hangein there.

glad to hear your mom is doing better keep up with the tunes i love all your stuff. Take care

Remember me, Burton? You came to London ON to play frequently. I gave you a book with a drawn picture of your mother. You wore my painted t-shirt onstage. I have met you numerous times and let me tell you, I owe you SOO much.

Glad I watched this -- it was at a time when I felt a little stand-offish with Burton for what I perceived was some lost humility on his part ... but man, you are GOOD!!!!! And - your renewed sense of truly giving back and sharing your heaven sent-earth nurtured gift of voice and musical construction in this last several years, well - it makes my world have worth! Luv ya lots!

Tried to locate a copy of the movie locally, but to no avail...thanks for posting and would not have known about it...

I was an extra in the film. In the concert scene I'm clapping my hands behind Glynnis O'Connor. In fact, we were listening to Bruce Springsteen on a cassette deck because Burton wasn't there. On the next filming night, Burton arrived and that's when the concert sequence was shot. I was fortunate to talk to Burton about my contribution to his ... Read Morefilm in fall 2008 while he was making his DVD for "Above the Ground". He is still quite fond of the movie. Occasionally, you'll still see "Melanie" on Moviepix.

Hi Burton, I always love your version of "Tin Soldier". It's the best. I don't hear it enough. Thank you.

What a cute fresh-faced kid! No wonder I fell in love! Thanks for taking me back to my teens, Burton. Love the video...

Another Burton song I love!!

I love this one! One of the first I had seen of Burton after many years, still sounded amazing. Another excellent one from around the same time is Take One Away ~ on YouTube ~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UNeovvcDlw
You'll all love it!

Far-out 1977 was the year my son was born,so for me that year was soooo special.
