Walkin' Blues...




"You can quote me on this, man...Butterlfield's something else. He feels it, he's in there all the way. Butterfield is a blues singer. There's no white bullshit with Butterfield, white-colored thing with him. He's there. And if he was green it wouldn't make any difference. If he was a planaria, a tuna fish sandwich, Butterfield would be into the blues." - Michael Bloomfield

You can see lots more pictures and learn more about Paul Butterfield and the 47 other musicians in my tribute book, Everybody I Shot Is Dead.

I don't have to tell you who Paul Butterfield is, right? Or do I?

I'll let Michael Bloomfield tell you, "You can quote me on this, man...Butterlfield's something else. He feels it, he's in there all the way. Butterfield is a blues singer. There's no white bullshit with Butterfield, white-colored thing with him. He's there. And if he was green it wouldn't make any difference. If he was a planaria, a tuna fish sandwich, Butterfield would be into the blues."

Paul Butterfield passed away 22 years ago. I had some good times with him...and miss his presence on the planet.

I love this video...not only for Paul Butterfield but for all the shots of the audience..Monterey 1967...must have been cool to be there...

Butter

I missed another one. I'm still having trouble believing that it's May. Yesterday, May 4th, was the 21st anniversary of Paul Butterfield's death. I not only had the opportunity to photograph Paul, but by some stroke of luck I ended up hanging out with him and a few friends one night - I should say all night - several years later in NYC. It was an interesting night, to say the least. It's all in my book if you want to check it out.

Here's my favorite picture of him:



And here's some live Butter from Monterey in 1967:

Happy Birthday, Paul!

He would have been 65 today, December 17th.

Ronnie Barron Question

Ronnie Barron was a keyboard player originally from New Orleans. He played with tons of people. I shot him when he was with Paul Butterfield Better Days.

He died on March 20, 1997 at the age of 53.

Anybody know how he died?

Thanks.
