Join me in celebrating the rocking swinging sound that burst forth whenever Sam Butera picked up a saxophone....

Thanks for posting the clip.
@doahsdeer - I did a nutty interview with him a few years ago. I must dig it up.
He will be missed. Thank you for posting that.
That was AWESOME! I loved every minute of it.
3:04 it won't play for me.
Dude blows a good sax.
Those guys are wild men! That was very fun to watch. Thanks for posting.
@Jillycarmel - I'll send a tech over. Leave your front door unlocked.
@flatpick46 - Sam was really something. And up until a few years ago he was still gigging. I saw him twice in AC. I interviewed him for the newspaper and we ended up exchanging Christmas cards every year. He was straight out of the 1940s. Sweet guy.
@Ed_Kaz - Very cool.
@Ed_Kaz - sorry, I will try again today.
you don't have to send anyone -it worked, I like that guy and hepville ,that is funny. Reminds me of Dean Martin with more talent
I had the pleasure of seeing Sam play with Keely Smith in Vegas 12 years ago. He was at the top of his game. He's always been one of my favorite sax players. Gonna miss him.
