Such talent - excellent playing religious music (and other probably) - fabulous!!!! Such a shame he passed on in his early 40's - quite a loss for sure.
When I see a guy like Anthony Burger play, I understand that really practicing the piano will not make you an Anthony Burger; I think most of his ability was just a gift from God. So much of this is talent, not practice.
I agree. He also played by ear which is a very special gift to have. However, speaking from experience, playing by ear doesn’t mean one can play like Anthony Burger or anywhere close. He had an extraordinary talent and countless hours of practice and experience. I’m guessing he had perfect pitch as well.
Brother Anthony is playing for the heavenly choir now. According to Wikipedia Anthony "At age eight months, he was using a baby walker and fell into a heating duct on the floor of his house.[ He suffered third degree burns on his hands, face and, legs. After suffering the burns, Burger's doctor told his parents he was very likely to not be able to move his hands in the future."
Hello Tammy and I agree. It was such an awesome experience to work with Anthony for so many years. He was one of the nicest and most talented people I had ever met. Glad you enjoyed. Bill Traylor
Hello again Tammy. I worked with Anthony when he was but 17 up until his untimely death. You can reach me at wtraylor@nvisionentertainment.com and I would be happy to share more with you about Anthony and his incredible career. Thanks, Bill
Me too, I would love to hear more about him, I have always loved Piano music but Anthony was awesome at it, & I have been around gospel music all of my life, I am 61, and have about 32 of the Gaither videos and he is on several. I loved watching the way he played, so classic & professional, a true Gift for sure.

That was his own testimony. I heard him say that on a UA-cam video; he added that it was still true. "I don't move my hands; He does."
But that doctor didn't know the power of God
The Lord doesn’t always do as the doctors think. We have been Blessed and I’m thankful for his talent.
Wow! This is powerful. Thanks for posting! Just beautiful.
