Thank you for your kind words, and I'm glad you like the music. It means a lot coming from someone of your musical caliber. I often think about "The Blue Guitar" days... a fun couple of gigs. I hope to work with you again in the future... Perhaps the both of us on stage. ;-)
Stanley, Cuernavaca sounds great!! The vocal is fantastic and the bass solo is smooth like butter! The peeps from back in the day would really dig hearing this! "Keep the tape rollin' Ron" (JB) Much love to you my brother - Rick
Hey Stanley! Just a quick one to say thanks soooo much for the package you sent - I've been recovering from my operation the last week or so, so I literally only got to look at it last night but even the first few pages have been helpful. There's just so much there! Really do appreciate it :) I hope all's well with you?
Brother Stan, that song You've Got A Spell On Me is fantastic! It sounds like it should have been on Electric Ladyland, no doubt! Jimi was with you on that one! Much love, keep on pushing straight ahead
Brother Stan, I'm so glad you got music back on here! You got the house rockin' with Island music, soul, dance, and the vocals on both songs are great but you know I love the song "Oh We'll Be Dancing"......keep on pushing straight ahead! Happy Fathers Day my brother.
Hello Stanley Butler Thank you for being a positive force in this world. Music is one of the few things left that still has the power to bring people from different cultures together in harmony. Always feel free to contact me.
Thanks For all the nice compliments. I can only take credit for the ones under 'my paintings'. this rose and the 'angel' blowing bubbles were just random photo's I'd seen that were inspiring. Glad you liked my other pieces. Thanks Stan.
