Big Changes A Brewing!

Well Howdy Do my little Butterfly Cowboys and Cowgirls!  :)

Sorry I've been away for a little longer than expected, but something big has come up with the band.  Yep, something big - trust me on this one.  Right now I have to keep my mouth shut but you'll be hearing about it very soon I'm sure.

In a short period of time I'm going to be handing the reigns of the website and this blog (or another that will be set up) to someone else.  They will be making updates from here on out and more than likely start a new blog to keep you up to date with.  So we'll be shutting this one down shortly, but will notify everybody where the new blog is going to be.  And of course the website will stay at www.ironbutterfly.com

This trippy ride is not quite ready to end yet... still some fun to be had and some great music to listen to.

P.S. - I feel terrible about having to mention it, but December 21st is the Anniversary of Lee Dorman's death. A great friend to me personally and a great musician.  One of my personal top 5 friends to be sure.  A gruff and grumpy exterior but a heart and soul of gold.  It's hard to find anybody that can even come close to comparing to "The King" as I called him, and he called me the same back.  Except when the gear wasn't working or we were running late ;)

Lee, from the bottom of my heart, I miss you dearly.  I think about you everyday and some days do a lot of crying over you moving on.  I can only hope you are happier and that you can look down on us and know how  deeply you touched me.

Damn, I miss you man!

Say a prayer for him, maybe even light a candle...
