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 is a very special song in a couple of different ways - some of which I’ll share here. I wrote the lyric for it in 2008 and Robert Baitinger (Germany) picked it up for production. Robert’s simply wonderful to work with, he focuses on productions in the most amazing ways, and he’s an excellent friend. Then, at about the same time, my wife (Theresa) decided that she was ready to start wading back into the production mode after an 8 year absence. When I shared the news with Robert he pitched the idea of having her do the vocals for this piece, which I then in turn pitched to Theresa, and what you have here is the culmination of their efforts. I’ll tell you that our “home recording studio” was put together using 15 year old components, tinker-toys, duct tape, and good intentions lol. To further complicate matters, Theresa’s old microphone died before she could record some of the final tracks that she and Robert had been working toward and we weren't able to replace it at the time. To compensate, Robert worked tirelessly on the song from his end, utilizing his software, hardware, and production skills, to create the song that you’re going to hear when you click on the link. What you hear/see here is the culmination of this first-time collaborative effort on their part.
Lyrics
I Still See You There Verse 1: When I think of you And I wonder why I can’t help but smile As I start to cry You were always there So big and so strong I still can’t believe That you’re really gone Chorus: I can still see you there When I close my eyes Shining like a star Lighting up the sky No matter where I go Anytime, anywhere When I close my eyes Oh, I still see you there I still see you there Verse 2: Everything we did All the times we shared All the diff’rent ways You showed me that you cared Ev’ry single moment Ev’ry memory It’s all still right here Inside of me Chorus: I can still see you there When I close my eyes Shining like a star Lighting up the sky No matter where I go Anytime, anywhere When I close my eyes I still see you there I still see you there Bridge: You were larger than life A friend, a hero No matter where you are I just want you to know Chorus: I can still see you there When I close my eyes Shining like a star Lighting up the sky No matter where I go Anytime, anywhere When I close my eyes Oh, I still see you there I still see you there I still see you there Vocals: Theresa Bertram All Instruments/Production: Robert Baitinger Lyrics: Ray Bertram/Robert Baitinger I Still See You There (c) 2009 W.
