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
The title of this song occurred to me in the middle of a sleepless night back in 2009…I wrote a lyric around it throughout the course of the next day and I liked it enough to share it with Robert. Robert liked it enough to go to work on it, too, and together we worked toward shaping it into what you see/hear here. The work that Robert put into collaborating on this lyric was outstanding and, as usual, his production of the song is simply incredible. Click on the link, sit back, and enjoy the listen.
Lyrics
If I Go First Verse 1: If I go first I want you to know I’m so glad we took things slow I could never ask For a better wife Girl, you’re the love of my life And every day we had All the time we shared I’d do it all again, I swear Chorus: No, I don’t plan on dying I wanna live for a long, long time I’m just glad that you’re mine You’ve made me so happy You’ve stood by my side And given me a wonderful life But just in case…we have to deal with the worst You’ve got to know I love you?if I go first Verse 2: If I go first Take care of the kids Try to look out for them Like I did Everyday Tell them I’m so proud And that they’ll see me again In a while I love them so much Just like I love you You mean so much to me, you do Chorus: No, I don’t plan on dying I wanna live for a long, long time I’m just glad that you’re mine You’ve made me so happy You’ve stood by my side And given me a wonderful life But just in case…we have to deal with the worst You’ve got to know I love you?if I go first Vocals, All Instruments: Robert Baitinger Lyrics: Ray Bertram/Robert Baitinger “If I Go First” (c) 2008, by W.
