What a sad time to have Anthony Burger, the greatest piano player in the world and one of the finest christians gone from us. Surely God must want him for greater things in heaven for him to be gone.
I was shocked to hear of Bro. Anthony's passing. He was just in Union City, Tn about a month ago and you would never know anything was wrong with him. I used to sing with the gospel group, Apple City Boys and our paths crossed many times. We used to meet at the NQC every year. I now am the Minister of Music and Worship at Fowlkes Baptist Church in Dyersburg, TN. My pianist has heard Bro. Anthony several times. We will indeed miss Bro. Anthony's piano playing but more than that we have lost a good Christian warrior and friend. I know that he is now in heaven praising our Lord. Even after a million years we have just started. My prayers go out to his entire family.
As a musician I am saddened by the loss of one of my idols. Anthony was and will always be the best piano player ever to walk across a stage. I had the privilege to meet him several times. He even sat down with me at the piano and taught me a couple of piano licks. He will truly be missed. I know the lord is putting together one amazing band. Talk about a jam session, this is going to be the jam session of all times when all of us musicians get to heaven. It will truly be a great homecoming day.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family hes in a better place he went to his house and playing the the Angels band
Anthony was one of the greatest piano players I ever heard. God surely called for the best and he will be missed but his music will forever live in our hearts and homes. I thank God for allowing us to have such a gifted person to inspire us my his Christian faith and music. My prayers are with the Burger family.
