*I first met Jon Butcher at WBCN in Boston in 1975, when he was a member of 
Johanna Wild (you were a foot taller, Jon).


 Our careers, lives and friendship have traveled across the country, evolving thru the decades and we now find ourselves in New England happily immersed in what we love - back at the beginning - almost!

See Jon live when he plays your local music hall and check out the new EP 
360.


**I added the lone McPhee lp (1971) to the archives and featured 
their cover of Richie P. Havens' Indian Rope Man.

The original single was included on the great 1983 lp (1969) - a stone-cold groove!
