Paul Butterfield was a National Treasure, who brought the blues back to America, where it was born.

Max they shared a lot--and I had the privilege of sitting in with both of them--and they shared with me too. I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT ! I'm still in touch with Bishop some 46 yrs. later.

Bloomfield had left the band by this time and formed The Electric Flag, which also played Monterey.

Part 6 to RESPONSE 2 THE RACE CARD AT ALL: MUSIC IS MEANT TO BE ENJOYED BY EVERYONE', IRREGARDLESS OF RACE OR RELIGION. " Change will come one day to the close-minded, and perhap's we will join them and tip our hats to open minded,, intellectual freedom at last. God bless the ignorant for they shall one day be open-minded. the open minded will have a great say in how the music, can and will change the world.

None of this has anything to do with Paul Butterfield, a Jewish bad-ass Blues Harpist, who could go one on one withLittleWalter

PART2 to RESPONSE2 never ending posts, you just don't f---ing get it. It is you who are trying to lay your race bullshit on me.
