Legatoboy Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 RIP Butch.... he was the boss of the band....at least in the later years....Butch seems to have been the level headed, business minded one... I know Greg didn't want to do that... My old band toured with them and Dicky Betts more before I was in the band... I did 3 play dates though with my old band and the Allmans (Raleigh, Charlotte,Virginia Beach) ate in their gourmet/ tie died tablecloth dining rooms and all but when I was there we only played the 'Entry' stage, though we were part of the crew/artists. They had shared the Main Stage w/ both before I was in the band ( I always regretted this)...on 1 2 month tour with Allmans and 2 2 month tours with Betts in CA ... Very sad to hear this today ...

mate stubb Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 RIP Butch. He was the reason our ABB covers didn't have that same trademark rhythmic bounce. They were an immense influence on me in the early 70s. Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cphollis Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Yeah. Shocking thing, but a lot of people in my world choose to exit on their own terms. Not being judgmental, just respectful. BTW, not my thing. Just sayin' Brings up the whole topic of how do we gracefully exit from life? Want to make your band better? Check out "A Guide To Starting (Or Improving!)

Joe Muscara Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 He must have been in a really bad way to have done that while his wife was "nearby." Totally tragic and awful for her.

Baldwin Funster Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 This may be the modern version of "live fast, die young & leave a good looking corpse". Instead of your fans seeing you whither away into an impotent skeleton, which you cant bear the thought of, youll leave live on your own terms. Its a kind of ego trip that leaves the loved ones demolished. Some people regarded as very nice people have done this lately. I cease to feel sorry for them and shift my sympatico to the abandoned loved ones. FunMachine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
