BUTCH THOMPSON performing a very soothing melody on this clip entitled, ""A Solas."

I took this video during the Concert on Sunday at the Blind Boone Ragtime & Early Jazz Festival, in Columbia, Missouri.

Drop in on either of the websites above for festival info, or Butch's CD's, and to find out where he will be playing next.

I WISH YOU COULD HAVE BEEN THERE!

I've had the pleasure to work with Butch on several occasions, and have long admired his keyboard work. He's a great clarinet played as well. Thanks for posting this.

By the way, many thanks for sharing this video, Tom. I am enjoying it a lot.

I found it! It's an original of BT's called "A Solas", which I believe is Spanish for "alone" or "lonely". It's based on folk music from Ecuador. I love the mix of Latin and ragtime.
