I will add my voice to the chorus of others saying that Butch was a great musician, and perhaps even more significantly, an exemplary teacher. What little I know about the mandolin, I learned largely from him...even though I'm sad to say we never met. I have always maintained that his instructional materials set a standard by which all others will be judged. My sincere condolences to Butch's friends and family, and I hope it is some small comfort to them to see how many people were touched by his music.
