KaBERTRAM!!! ...it's all about the music.
Welcome to KaBertram!!! - an explosion of sound, motion, entertainment, and talented people from all around the world, all making music together. And if KaBertram! was a hurricane, then Ray Bertram would be the eye at the center of the storm. Ray, a life-long "compulsive writer," started writing at a very age and he's never stopped. When Ray turned his writing in the direction of lyrics in 2008, things really started hopping. Working together with good friend and partner, musician/song-writer/producer and creative genius John Surbaugh, Ray co-founded BCC Global: The Back Country Connection, which made it possible for him to take his writing and cover the world with it. Ray has now seen his writing produced into songs in the United States (Tennessee, California, Ohio, North Caroline, Georgia), Sweden, The Netherlands, South Africa, England, Ireland, Germany, Austria, and beyond. In 2010, Ray and another one of his frequent partners, Swedish singer/musician/song-writer/producer Anders Larson, were signed by the prominent Swedish promotional house, Hit Works, and in the time since numerous of their songs have been placed under contract and aggressively marketed all around the world. And, to date, Ray's writing has been produced into songs covering many genres, including Pop, Euro-Pop, Folk-Rock, Country, Rock-a-billy, Adult Contemporary, Jass/Swwing, Rap, and more. Ray continues to write and to continually direct his creative energies onward and upward, always striving to reach higher and to move in new directions.

Story behind the song
I originally wrote this lyric for my wife, Theresa - getting to share my life with her is simply incredible beyond words and it’s one of my favorite things to write about. When my good friend and frequent creative partner Robert Baitinger (Germany) picked the lyric up, I knew to expect good things, but when Donovan Plant (California, U.S.A.), Antony Wolfson (London, Europe), and Mick Hutchings (London, Europe) became involved, the production really took off in the best of ways. Special thanks to everybody involved in this production - Donovan and Mick for their guitar tracks, Robert on the production side and with all the other instrumentals, Antony for the vocals - everybody worked very hard in their own ways. This was a true global production effort and a fun ride all the way around...we hope that you enjoy the song :-)
Lyrics
“As Long As I” Verse 1: As long as I Have been around My life’s been turned Upside down I’m never sure What I should do All I know now Is you Chorus: As long as I Have air to breath As long as I Have you with me I’ll hold on Yes l’ll try As long as you As long as I Verse 2: We both live In the present tense Even though it Makes no sense Life seems like Such a mystery When all I am Is me Chorus: As long as I Have air to breath As long as I Have you with me I’ll hold on Yes l’ll try As long as you As long as I Chorus: As long as I Have air to breath As long as I Have you with me I’ll hold on Yes l’ll try As long as you As long as I Music & lyrics: Ray Bertram, Robert Baitinger, Antony Wolfson, Donovan Plant, Mick Hutchings Vocals: Antony Wolfson Guitars: Mick Hutchings, Donovan Plant All other instruments: Robert Baitinger “As Long As I” (c) 2009 W.
