Sat beside Butch on a plane from Atlanta to Boston. We talked the whole time. What a great guy, we hit it off so well. He set me up with tickets and backstage passes for the show the following night.

So sad to know that he was in such a dark place in the end. Seeing his enthusiasm in this video is great, but leaves a very sobering aftertaste. Bless you Butch. You helped change lives for the better.

If you were lucky like I was and you saw the Brothers in their hay day, they would play till 4 and 5 in the morning the show would last forever it was incredible.

For me, it started with hearing Midnight Rider on the radio. Then Live at The Fillmore. Greg's vocals were the best soulful blues voice I had ever heard. Then when you heard Duane and Dicky's guitar playing, you knew these guys were the best. Sadly, Duane had died before I got to see them live, but I can say that Betts and Oakley played their asses off when I did get to see them. No group has surpasses their playing since then.

Boy,very sad to see this cat who was so alive and to realize that not to long after this what happened.. seems like such a waste but on a positive note GREAT insight from him espically the jazz stuff and the fact that Jaimoe turned them on to Miles ,Coltrane etc and that he was tight with Lenny White!! Very cool stuff.. RIP sir...

Butch, This to shall pass, Brother. SO sad you couldn't understand that. I miss you. You've been a part of my life since I was 8. You will continue to be a part of my life as long as I'm here on earth. I am honored to say you are my friend. People, suicide is FINAL. I;m going through a very difficult time right now. Second most difficult time in my life. Won't harp, bitch, or complain. Bottom line is I'm trying to take care of my mom, who has dementia, and not one sibling will help at all. I have 3. I haven't been able to work for over 3 months. I'm an alcoholic. Haven't had a drink in over 11 years. Was I thinking about a drink yesterday? Nope. I was thinking how great it would be to do what Butch did. That is sick thinking. That's probably why I'm here sub consciously. I used to think about killing myself all the time. Since I got sober and attained some self worth I never think about it. It has crept back in. Honestly, it is a form of self pity. My life right now consists of being a prisoner in an apartment. Here's what I try to look at. I have food, coffee, weed, internet. I go to my girl's house regularly we just don't get to be alone ever anymore. If my mom doesn't go, I don't go. We haven't been out to eat in 1 1/2 years. Having trouble finding in home care adult day care medicare or caid whatever the fuck it is, doesn't pay. Anyhow, what do I do, kill myself? Honestly, seems and even feels like a great idea. However, WHO THE FUCK WILL TAKE CARE OF MY FUCKING MOM AND WHY HURT MY GIRL LIKE THAT? I KNOW SHE LOVES ME. SHE'S AN IDIOT! BEEN WITH ME 14 YEARS! I'M AN ASSHOLE, I PROMISE! AND, we adopted a dog so what the fuck is his confused ass gonna do when his new routine, which he's just gettin used to, is fucked up cause I decide to go out like a chicken shit? Goddamn. What The Fuck! Suicide? Honestly. I wish I could. But 1) I have too many responsibilities 2) it would make too many people happy. I wanna stay here and be a 2X4 up their ass sideways as LONG as fucking possible! It's 430 in the AM. I'm gonna listen to some, Little Feat sounds nice. Little Lowell George, smoke me some sour diesel and relax. Thanks. I feel better. Peace to All

Taking care of a slowly dying mother, alone, has got to be the most torturous experience of a lifetime. Been there, Very depressing. But you need to rally take some time off and learn what it is to learn to love yourself. Yes. i know, i had 2 siblings who couldnt be bothered to help, But it is NOT a one person job! It's just not doable. So the cards are stacked against you from the get. Do the best you can, but ideally first or aiong the way find respect and love of yourself for yourself. Be your own best friend. Be sure to love ALL of yourself, good parts and bad parts alike, because no person on earth is perfect. Once you begin to "feel the love" you will notice your life changing for the better. Things will get better, this too shall pass.

@joleneloveland2942 3 жыл бұрын

All of those years playing behind his drums, sitting nesr Jaimoe who's playing his drums, and all of the monitors and amplifiers. For a minute there i thought he was either drunk or stoned. And he could have been, but with 48-50 years of roughly the same decibels that a jackhammer operator encounters, it's wonder that he could even hear himself think. Ood bless you Butchie and i kept my word to you. Miss you alot.♥️

He may have imbibed, but judging by Butch's first question, im thinking that after 48-50 years of playing to large packed venues, Butch was showing some hearing loss.

a bullet to the self is an overglorified easy way out that leaves his wife, children and grandchildren with lasting horror the rest of their days. what he did is the ultimate selfish act.

I agree about the part of shooting himself in front on his wife. That was nuts. That smacks of retribution. But only she will ever know the truth. RIP. Forgiveness.
