It's actually titled "If YOU Were A Bluebird."

--from Spider Johnson, former band member...

I knew that...just checking to see if anyone was paying attention. LOL Thanks Spider =)

Thank you Thank you Thank you!

Maybe the best quality video I've seen of Butch (& I've seen most of 'em)

Been heartbroken to miss BOTH Butch's solo shows, at Uncle Calvin's & JFC ~ this let me feel i was sittin' in the front row for a few moments.

In a state-ful of superior writer-songsingers, Butch has always been in my desert island handful.

@TXmuseic I don't know why I seldom answer comments but I think it's because I am so humbled in the presence of these great artist...all I do is press the red button. ;)

I love your 'desert island handful'! Glad you've enjoyed the video!
