fairly knowledgeable about him please email me off-list?

"It is with extreme sadness that I report to you that my friend,
Anthony Burger passed away last night while playing a solo onboard
ship, on the Gaither cruise. I received a call about 8:50 pm. Early
reports say that he was playing We Shall Behold Him. He stopped
playing and started trembling and then collapsed. First reports said
it was a heart attack. I didn't want to announce it right away
because I knew hardly none of the family had been told, I wanted to be
respectful to them and didn't want them to see it on the internet
before hearing it from the proper people... ...Anthony was a great
friend to me. Two years ago, when my world fell apart, he would call
me several times a week to make sure I was ok. I will miss his
friendship, his talent, and his great attitude."

ship? Assuming that this was a SGM cruise (since it was stated it was a
Gaither cruise), I imagine that a huge damper was thrown over the whole
thing. Would the singing continue? Would everyone just want to go home
immediately? Would you get part of your money back? Any thoughts?

to his wife and gave her a wink and smile. He then started the intro
to the next song, and said, "Bill please help me," He then fell over
dead of a massive heart attack.
I can think of no other way that he would have chosen to go other than
doing what the Lord wanted him to do. One minute playing praises to
God the next seeing him face to face.
No formal funeral plans have been announced yet, but I believe that they
will be held at Christ Church on Old Hickory Blvd, in Nashville. The
church is the largest one in this area that would hold everybody, and is
near Brentwood, TN where he lived.
I rarely post here, but I felt like I needed to do this.

The cooks avoid the freezer section for most of the cruise?

you can occasionally expect someone to die of natural causes aboard ship.
You won't find much about it in the brochures, but these cruise vessels have
a morgue where a body can be preserved until the next port of call.
Usually, within 12 to 24 hours, a body could be quietly and unceremoniously
removed from the ship in body bags and temporary coffins that they carry.
The deceased is then whisked of the to airport for a flight back toward
their hometown.
You won't have to worry about the cooks confusing the stiff from cabin 265A
with the side of beef intended for tomorrows meatloaf.

he was hilarious as usual, but he also played the piano, and she said he was
incredible. If Bill needs a gifted pianist, he may already have one on the
tour.

I wonder if this will spark off a flood of resume's going to Bill
Gaither's office to fill the pianist position for the Homecoming
concerts and videos?

Several pianist might go to that trouble, but I really believe Bill
Gaither will pick a pianist
of his own choosing, and just might have had some in mind for months.
So resume`s
will probably be filed away.

I'm guessing Gaither will go with Gordon Mote...and that's IF he wants to
continue having a couple of piano features each night...he may not go with
anyone other than someone to be in the band, in which case, I still think
he'd probably choose Gordon Mote.
Of course, if he wants the best available piano player, he'll steal Stan
Whitmire from Mark Lowry.

Riiiight...have you listened to any of the sound samples I've put on my
blog? I play OK, but I'm certainly no genius at the keys.

irreplacable. But Bill
Gaither will get another pianist for his videos and The Homecoming
appearances. I will
name a few, (and I might be wrong on all of them)but my picks are(not
in order)are-
Tim Parton
Stan Whitmire
Roy Webb
Geron Davis
"Little" David Young
Jerry Kelso
Gordon Mote
James
I made a list of my choices, but since, I have did some reading and now
I`m picking as the pianist for Bill Gaither-Gordon Mote. Mote says he
loves to work with Bill Gaither, and
does have concerts scheduled with GVB and Ernie Haase and Signature
Sound Qt.
