This morning upon hearing the news of Burt\u2019s passing I immediately tore off the plastic and began to create this altar to process how much this man\u2019s talent has meant to me.<br \/>\nOn Monday it will be (I think?) 26 years since Burt recorded this song Feb 13 1996? in NYC with Elvis.  It was a warm smallish studio and only a handful of us were there for this quietly historic session with the two of them; music supervisor extraordinaire Karyn Rachtman who brought these giants together for the first time to write this now classic song for me, our amazing lead actress Illeana Douglas, our wonderful producer Dan Hassid and me.  Occasionally friends came by to visit; my daughter Tiffany with J Mascis and I recall our pal Joe McGinty got a life altering moment with Burt too that day.  In the downtime Illeana and I absorbed all we could with Burt who was so generous so kind and so respectful.  I remember asking him about working with one of my idols Dusty Springfield.  And he said warmly thinking of her, \u201cHard.\u201d I asked, \u201cHard to work with?\u201d He said with such empathy, \u201cShe was hard on herself.  And she was so brilliant.\u201d It was exactly what I wanted to know.<br \/>\nAfter Burt and Elvis finished recording God Give Me Strength they both signed the lead sheets, one for me and one for Illeana.  Burt wrote \u201cFor Allison\u2026thank you for bringing us all together.\u201d This Polaroid photo of them was taken the same day. Burt\u2019s musical genius and warmth and beautiful melodies was part of the fabric of my life from the time I could open my toddler mouth and sing along to Perry Comos \u201cMagic Moments\u201d. There are far too many songs of his I love to begin to list, but I will over the coming days.  Thank you Paul Myers for reaching out this morning and helping me process the meaning he\u2019s had to me and to all of us.  Rest In Peace Maestro.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dog Sitter sued Burt Bacharach (His dog was called Alfie- see the photo).
