Hi, folks. It's been a while since I've visited here.

We lost a wonderful musician this week when Butch Baldassari died of a brain
tumor. He was just 56.

Those of you who have been participants here for many years may want to go dig
out your RAP5 compilations and listen to Butch lead his "Nashville Mandolin
Ensemble" in "The Dance of the Lunatics". It's on disc #2.
