R.I.P. Burt Bacharach.  

He wrote many, many classic songs.  

I marvel at his musical contributions also.   Many famous musicians have already poured in their respects.

However, (and I say this with,. all. due. respect.)

Meanwhile,...

in the world, the death toll from a natural disaster surpasses 20,000 no longer with us:

Where and when is the "Band Aid" to raise funds for The Red Cross, Oxfam etc. going to happen ?!

Get on it musicians, etc. !

As, if I am to, as a (local) musician, busk for charity to fundraise, yet again, the process, via the Council is thus, nowadays:  

go to the Council, ask for forms, wait, indefinitely it seems, to request days, that 'could' be available to fundraise, for charities, such as the aforementioned, for example.
