GINO!  Thank you for mentioning Mark Ford!!!  There couldn't be a better
comparison for this topic! Now he played it correctly!  Similar in styles
for sure but he did what I think Butterfield wanted to do with his playing!
NO, I don't mean he copied or tried to emulate PB, most likely the opposite
but he hit the Mark (no pun intended) where PB missed it IMO. PB just didn't
seem as disciplined as Mark to get it fast and musically correct!

Paul was one of the worst 3rd position players I ever heard,,,terrible,,,but
he influenced my playing more than anyone else (2nd pos,,,mixolidian).Listen
to the solo on driftin & driftin, great tone, phrasing, pace,ideas. killer
vibrato. I used to listen to the acoustic part over and over in "1972". I
first got it on 8 track.
   listen to nickels and dimes on my website,,,is there any influence there
from Paul ? He's not the only great player,but a lot of people identified
with his playing,,,,even tongue blockers. (Mark Ford comes to mind)
