[Trombone-l] Passing of L-Member

[Wayne Dyess]

I first "met" Butch here on Trombone-L some 10 years ago (has it been  
that long?).  He and I had much in common, including a love for the  
trombone and big bands.  We struck up a long-lasting friendship, and  
he is already being missed!

He and Henry Mason even traveled from Atlanta, GA to Beaumont, TX for  
one of my college jazz band concerts that featured Mr. Bill Holman  
conducting my band.  That was a very memorable few days.

RIP, Butch... heaven's trombones are surely swingin'.
