Comments:
We sure had a fine time playing that music of the 60's...the kids liked us too. I am now 63...still play guitar and recently the harmonica....I'm looking for somebody that can play the blues without it sounding like acid rock !

Butch still lives in Sharpsburg, KY. I still live in Paris, KY...that's me back there with the Byrdland. Tom is in the Ohio area.....I don't know where Kenny and Steve are.
