Con Joe Kelly's Butte

Con Joe Kelly was ever a “Butte Guy”. His maternal Grandfather Andy Carroll was a miner, which established his pedigree. Dollie often remarked, “You can take the boy out of Butte but you can never take the Butte out of the Boy”. 
This project was driven by Con Joe’s love for Butte and his desire to share with you the memories, images, people and stories he heard and felt in these “Butte” songs. The fact that none of the songs were truly finished musical products never stopped him. Thus we subtitled the project,  “Ruff Cutt”.
Con spent weeks writing and rewriting the narrative for each song; Dennis Lavery skillfully did all the narration and “YouTube” work while Joe Boddy created all the  wonderful artwork. This was a labor of love for all of us.
