Steve,

Condolences, I'm sure your dad heard it and was smiling happy tears of joy 
as he is now at Peace.

I too played 'Amazing Grace' at my younger brother's Funeral a few years 
back and it was the HARDEST performance of my life....I dedicated the song 
"Border Song (Holy Moses)" to him on my CD....."He's my brother, let him 
live in Peace....."

When I teach, and my students who aren't familiar with Paul Butterfield, I 
have them buy BETTER DAYS then we'd break down each song. It truly is a 
study in SOLO and PARTS playing. No 'Flash' just "Bread & Butter",-)

Love & Peace,
Rob Paparozzi
