HPR All Things Considered Host Dave Lawrence shares highlights of when Burt Bacharach was our guest. Burt died Wednesday at age 94. But in 2017, ahead of a Blue Note Hawaii engagement, the music giant walked us through several stories connecting to fellow entertainment heavyweights Dionne Warwick, Mike Myers & Burt’s Austin Powers experience, Oasis, plus Hawaiʻi memories of gigs here in the islands.
