Each November 5th, I get a pang. Burnsie, you are so very missed. The loss of your spirit and force-of-nature self has left a big hole in the world of a lot of folks. I hope you're playing piano and writing yet another book wherever you are. Love and miss you.

It was a great honor to have him as my mentor for almost 30 years. May his spirit live on in the lives of countless colleagues and students whom he had touched.

Burns was a man of many parts and true citizen of the world.
