Sad to hear. I met Butch in Ft. Lauderdale some years ago. He was sitting at a table next to mine in an empty restaurant. He was talking to a bunch of colleagues about his time with the Allman Brothers, I mistook him for Dickey Betts and leaned over and introduced myself. He was pissed that I thought he was Betts, and asked me if I was looking to get my ass kicked. He apparently didn't care for Betts, didn't elaborate as to why. We managed to end the conversation on a friendly note, I told him some of my favorite songs growing up were from that band, etc.. He struck me as an angry dude, I hope he reconciled with Dickey and is resting in peace now.
