Re: [Harp-L] Re:The importance of Butterfeild

I know it's hard to put people in pidgeon holes, but I always thought  
of ANY musicians as being similar to the sauces you get at the  
burrito shop. Mild, Medium, Hot, Volcanic. I don't know where I would  
put Butterfield, maybe hot, but is suffices to say that the sauce  
don't mean stugatzo if the burrito is bland. So Butterfield was hot,  
but the burrito didn't strike my taste buds.
