[Harp-L] Re: To tell the truth Butterfield

[John Kally <jkally3@xxxxxxx>]

I played a tape of the Butterfield "To Tell the Truth" appearance last 
night.  As amusing as it is to see a young Paul up there and the panel 
(Kitty Carlisle, Orson Bean, Tom Poston, et al), the performance of 
"Born in Chicago" is not a joy to watch.  The band they hired for the 
show, a bunch of old  guys that appear to be jazz players , seem 
determined to bury Paul with frantic  drumming , noodling on the piano 
and guitar that doesn't back off when Paul sings or solos.   Too bad, 
as I don't know of other video of Butterfield from this early era, must 
be around the time of the first LP.    I just mention it because I 
would hate to see someone going to great pains to get a copy (I 'm 
giving mine away, so don't contact me!) only to be dissappointed.
