Anthony Burger Tributes

A number of Anthony Burger tributes have been posted on the web since yesterday.

1. Steinway & Sons has a nice tribute to Anthony Burger on their website. Click HERE.

2. SGLive365 has a growing list of comments from artists in the Southern Gospel community. Click HERE.

3. Danny Jones has an article on the Singing News website. Click HERE.

4. Mark Lowry keeps adding more details to his site as they come in. Click HERE. (You may have to try that link several times before you can get the site to load. Lowry's site has been being flooded since the news broke.)

By the way, Ben Speer is quoted on Lowry's site debunking the original report that Burger was playing "We Shall Behold Him" when he collapsed. According to Speer, Guy Penrod, Bill Gaither, and Gloria Gaither were singing "Hear My Song, Lord" with Burger playing behind them when he died.

5. Martin Roth has a number of links to various tributes on his blog. Click HERE.

6. Click HERE for a photo gallery.

7. Click HERE to read Stewart Varnado's tribute.

8. I only admired Anthony Burger's skills from a distance and never met him, so I haven't written an original tribute to him per se. I did spend quite a bit of time late yesterday creating an entry for him at www.wikipedia.com, though. Click HERE.

(I figure Wikipedia will be around after other sites (including Musicscribe) are long gone. It has the advantage of being run by a community rather than one individual. The neat thing about Wikipedia is that anyone can read the entry, then add to it or take away from it as they see fit...the idea being that as a general rule, it's people who care who will take the time to make sure the facts are presented accurately. In fact, I just noticed that someone has already been by and tweaked the entry.)
