“No Guts, No Glory I have returned to Detroit for the meantime. I have no regrets and am glad to see my loved ones. However, the journey began a year ago when I completely surrendered to my Lord, and will continue on for the rest of my days. I walk with Jesus every step I take. There is much work to be done here, there and everywhere. My ministry continues and grows stronger everyday... www.walkwithjesus.tv ”

“I have taken a hiatus from my business life, and as an ordained minister, I have been called upon to walk with my Lord and strengthen Christianity. My journey begins on Easter 2014 and will convene upon reaching Los Angeles. As I walk across the US with my companion-Fido, I will impart the 5 virtues {Respect-Compassion-Faith-Hope-Love} and help bring those in the darkness closer to the light..... Basil Burdalas” - Basil Burdalas

“EL GATO EMBARKS ON A NEW CD COMBINING ELEMENTS OF "BURDALAS" & "CONCRETE RODEO" Writer/Producer/Keys/Guitar/Bass/Vox/Loops/Drum Pgm./Percussion. "Music was the 1st compelling force in my life. Fortunately, I was exposed to the greatest array of musical styles in a single lifetime-ranging from the 40's through the 21st century. My father played piano in silent film theaters, and my mother felt passion in beautiful music. That is what sometimes brings me to tears when I hear a song in a certain way, and also, why I feel such joy in playing my instruments. I played in several Detroit based groups inc: Hybrid/Soundbyte/Darron Powers Group/Concrete Rodeo, etc...however, the greatest experience was when I was younger and hitchiking throughout the states and Canada playing and paying my way. For those of you who remember the hippie with the 12 string guitar and harmonica.... hope you've made your way in health." "I'm excited to begin this new musical journey with some of my old colleagues.” - Bill Boola
