Facebook Live with Kurt Browning June 20

It was Kurt Browning's 54th birthday yesterday, and tomorrow is the first day of summer. Seems like a good time to join us for a Facebook Live Q&A with Kurt on the Kurt Browning Facebook Page on Saturday, June 20 at 2PM EDT. We'll be taking fan questions from the Facebook Live comments.

Just in case anyone was interested in watching the 1+ hour Q&A, here it is on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NC5HMJE7wRc

I've been following Kurt's career closely for decades (and have interviewed him myself several times) and I still heard stories and things I'd never heard before in yesterday's Q&A. Not to mention, he gave us a tour of his costume closet and he's kept everything!

^ Thank you so much, Teenes! Delightful Q&A with Kurt!

Thanks for the link. I didn’t expect to watch the whole thing, but I did. Surprised he thinks he could have done better spins and footwork as an amateur. The peak at his costume closet was cool. I was happy to learn that he and Elvis are close friends now.

But... 54?!? I was a bit taken aback. I take it for granted that he’ll keep performing for a long time. Would love to see his retrospective show in Victoria once it happens again.

Great job @Teenes! Loved the questions, Kurt looks so happy.

I'm glad you all enjoyed it! It is a bit long, but we didn't even get to a bunch of the submitted questions. The fans asked some great questions!

And yes, 54! Hard to believe...

November Skater in Residence Blog - Kurt Browning - Skate Ontario

BLOG TIME ! Funny word … blog. It kind of falls out of your face like an accident. “Excuse me, but what did you just say? I couldn’t quite understand you.“ “Oh, pardon me, it was nothing. (cough cough) I just blogged a little.” As far as describing something you write, blog is a much nicer

@Sylvia, I don't mind at all! Actually, while you've got this thread going...

I highly recommend checking out the blog Sylvia linked to above if you're a Kurt fan. It's humorous, thoughtful, reflective, tongue-in-cheek, and sincere, all in turns, and very much in Kurt's voice.

Also, I don't think I posted it here at the time, but Kurt and Sandra Bezic interviewed each other back in September, looking back at their 30+ years of work together, reliving memories, telling anecdotes, and occasionally surprising each other. It's over an hour long, but if you're a fan of Casablanca, Singing in the Rain, Antares, That's Entertainment, or any of the other 30+ programs they've done together, or the two TV specials (Tall in the Saddle/You Must Remember This), I think you'll enjoy it.
