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
Robert and I started working on this song in December of 2008 and we spent about 5 months on it. He had sent me a rough track that he had been playing with - a tune that he had dubbed “Yesterday”. At that time I was working on a fresh set of lyrics called “It Only Gets Better”. My wife and I had sat up having a talk one night - the good kind of talk - and the lyrics for “It Only Gets Better” sprang from the substance of that talk - the title itself does a good job summing up the wonderful relationship that she and I share. I wasn’t making what I considered adequate progress with the lyric, though…so when Robert shared that track with me, I switched the title/hook over to “As Time Goes By,” shared it with him and, as is often the case, THEN things started to happen. I had the lyric completed a few days later and Robert was able to piece the entire production together form his end in the most beautiful way. We hope that you enjoy listening to this song…and I’m dedicating my portion of the work in this song to the ever beautiful Mrs. Bertram - she has always been and will always be the very best part of me :-)
Lyrics
As Time Goes By Verse 1: I turn around And to my surprise I still get lost When I look in your eyes Everything you say All the things you do The way I feel It still seems so new Pre-Chorus: And when I look ahead I only see The best years of our lives In front of me Chorus: As time goes by I see it all so clear I love you more Year after year My love for you It will never die It only grows As time goes by Verse 2: Time marches on But I still don’t forget The way I felt The day we first met After all these years The feeling’s still alive It just gets better As time goes by Pre-Chorus: And when I look ahead I only see The best years of our lives In front of me Chorus: As time goes by I see it all so clear I love you more Year after year My love for you It will never die It only grows As time goes by Repeat Chorus Music & lyrics: Ray Bertram / Robert Baitinger Instruments, vocals & production: Robert Baitinger “As Time Goes By” (c) 2009 Baitinger/Bertram
