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
This song has a pretty cool story behind it. My friend songwriter/musician/producer Martin Gotz (Austria) first had the idea of this song in his car while he was driving to the Dublin Airport to pick up a long-time friend who had flown in to visit with him. He stopped his car near the Athlone airport and quickly recorded the song’s melody along with a few words for it. The next day, late at night, after spending the whole day with his friend, Martin quickly wrote the first draft of the lyrics down. When he returned home later that weekend, he then looked the chords up because he all ready had the tune in his mind. I was totally delighted when Martin then shared the track and lyric with me as it was standing at that time - I immediately saw the beautiful potential that the piece held on so many levels. I was also immediately able to relate to the theme of the song to several wonderful friends that I’ve had over the course of my own life - Martin Goetz included - so I was more than happy to jump in and assist Martin in further developing the lyric into the over-all production of the song. I’ve done several projects with Martin and he’s always very enjoyable to work with. Getting to be involved in the production process behind this particular piece was an especially uplifting experience. Ray Bertram
Lyrics
An Angel Passed My Way Verse 1: I had never belonged ...Never had a home My heart was unsettled My soul needed to roam I gave myself up Out on the edge of my last day And then an angel passed my way Verse 2: I wasn’t looking for new friends ...Struck out on my own I thought it was better To be all alone I gave myself up There was nothing left to say ...Then an angel passed my way Chorus I’ve never seen heaven But I’ve been through hell All the things that can go wrong I know them so well But now I look forward I’ll survive today Because an angel passed my way Verse 3: I’ve struggled so much ...All caught up in my sin But after today I know that I will only win No, I will never give up In the end I’ll be okay Because an angel passed my way Lyrics: Martin Goetz, Ray Bertram Vocals/Instrumentals/Production: Martin Goetz An Angle Passed My Way (c) 2009 Martin Goetz, W.
