Thank you, Paul. Your story made it easy to picture all the events. Great tip of the hat to a fine musician.

Wonderful story. Thanks for sharing. I was fortunate enough to have known Don, too. He was a great musician, and a great guy.

That's a fine tribute to Mr. Butterfield, I'm sure he would be touched.
