Love the views from the piano bench.
Nice to see Butch playing with Tommy Sancton. I would like to recommend Sancton's book, SONGS FOR MY FATHERS.
A New Orleans Story in Black and White.
Other Press. LLC, 2006. Sancton's story of the musicians who influenced him as he played the clarinet as a teenager. Scenes of early Preservation Hall. Great reading!
