Glad you mentioned "Someone To Love," Steve.
That's my absolute favorite song on the "Better Days" album. I it clearly
demonstrates Butter's delicious blending with the horn section and
tasteful yet emotional soloing. Truly exceptional stuff. Add to that his
terrific vocals. Wish I could sing half that good.

For me, it would be the lick in "Done a Lot of Wrong Things" on the Better
Days album. That and his masterful playing on "Please Send Me Someone to
Love." the Percy Mayfield song.

Hi Tom - many thanks for that. So what I get from your earlier post and
the
clarification is that no one has played with that emotion before or
since?
Is it at all possible for you (or anyone else in the discussion) to
identify
one, two or at most three tunes that embody the level of emotion your are
indicating distinguishes Butterfield from other harp players? I'd prefer
agreement/consensus on one or two, so I can limit my own responses.
It's nearly Xmas and my wife will kill me if I pore over harp-l too much
longer! ;)
Thanks
