I had the pleasure of hanging out with Butch when he living in Albuquerque. He came in to hear me play a couple of times and i had him sign my drum head...I still have it.
I had the privilege of watching Count Basie live at the Opera house in Sydney in 1978, Mr Graham "Butch' Miles was 33 years old It was my 18th Birthday The Basie big band was awesome the next Day I watched Mr Miles at a Drum Clinic at the Rocks in Sydney and acquired his Autograph I was ecstatic and inspired even now after all the years I cherish that moment RIP Mr Miles🙏 7:08
He was one of kind and this version of the band with Butch was tight! Butch and Leary were kicking it! Whew! The horns were tight. Boy these were great days. Sounds like you had a wonderful time with Butch. I’m glad and thank you for you memory.
