A Trip To The St. Louis...

[MaestroDivine]

I'm trying to get things squared away here at home, so that I can hopefully find myself down in St. Louis within the next two weeks. I mean, I've gone back and read some post's about Butch Woodie - and I'm like, Jeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssussssssssssss s! I mean, if ANYONE can get down on an organ like THAT - then I need to hear them. See, you cat's gotta understand, I'm not talking as an inexperienced musician here. I've seen some of the greatest musicians in the world, and I, myself, have studied at THE MOST difficult conservatory to get into, in the WORLD(www.curtis.edu). All of that, while still not forsaking my musical roots in Gospel/Soul/Blues ....

I mean, I have dudes in my area giving me so much praise and props, to the point that I want to puke. So, I'm simply VERY doubtful that I'd view Butch in the same way that you guys do.

AT THE SAME TIME ..........

I can't say that, after reading all of the post's about Butch, that I'm not totally intrigued with the idea of coming down to hear him. I mean, I don't know if you all are some young dudes, who can't play all that well, and are totally overwhelmed with some dude who is just top notch in your area. OR, if you guys are very talented musicians, who have witnessed something never before heard or seen. See, I've heard many musicians big up a guy, then I hear them, and I wanted to shoot myself for showing up. I have cat's gunning for me ALL the time. When I'm on(Which is rarely, 'cause I get harassed)...I literally have a bunch of heavy-breathing, RUSTY, DUDE breathing down my neck, trying to see what I'm doing. You guys say Butch is private. I totally understand why he is. I don't know whether he and I are in the same league. Of course, his fans will say I'm nowhere close, without having a clue as to how well I can play, lol. At the same time, I can't play in CHURCHES, without being harassed for tips and TRICKS afterwards.

So, excuse me for being skeptical. But, whatever -  I gotta hear this dude. Point BLANK. Let's put the talk to rest. I'm coming to the Lou ... so I can hear this cat with my own two ears.

 Let's break out the fried chicken, and cornbread!

A BISHOP Divine lookin forward to seeing you when ever you ca make it down. to ensure you get to hear butch when you come down try am plan your trip around the week end so you can hear him on sunday  night and maybe that morning cause he stay with his dad( the organist for KT) all the time know that is dad is sick and plays for him. so then afterwards you can talk to him and mabe get a shed session from him like that monday or somthing.

 

[rpking]

The clip of Butch on Showmethat.com was enough to make me go  , and you all said that was an off day for him.  That's enough to make me want to take that trip and meet you all too.  I can play, but I am not near Butch's level, so I don't need to shed with him, but I would love to hear you all shed with him.  Pick a date Maestro, and I'll drive down right after church that Sunday.

[CATRON]

YEAH MAN HIT US UP WITH A DATE YO.

Maestro... when we say Butch is "THE TRUTH"  PLEASE BELIEVE: THESE WORDS ARE NOT COMING FROM ANYONE INEXPERIENCED OR YOUNG.

Man we even got professors and doctors in COLLEGE and UNIVERSITIES ranting and raving about this guy.

If you've ever seen the movie RAY (jamie foxx) the guy who plays the role of ART TATUM name is Johnnie Oneal.
Johnnie Oneal is world renown in the jazz scene and is featured in countless magazine and articles.
He's even in the Jazz Hall of Fame and has played overseas.

EVEN HE TALKS ABOUT BUTCH!

I was actually there the same night at the same church when SHOWMETHAT.COM taped BUTCH playing the organ.
Truthfully speaking, that night he was actually kinda calm and downgraded from how he usually plays and what he's capable of doing.

MAN THE GUY IS DANGEROUS!
C'mon man... this dude does runs with his foot and plays chord fluently with both feet.   CATRON am I lyin'?

He's just not natural!

It's like if I told you I just saw bigfoot and an alien in a church preaching and shouting you wouldn't believe me until you saw it yourself.

Please take the trip man, it would be worth it?

[jomo7]

man i could not have said it better thank you thank you very much the people really need that. GOD BLESS

Well, could someone post some clips? I'm kind of having some issues at home here - and a trip for pleasure is out of the question, for the time being. I really wanted to make it when I said I was going to. However, it seems that may have to be put off 'til, at least, mid-summer.

...and I'm MaestroDivine. I just get tired of names, and I like to change 'em from time to time.

~D

PS - Somebody get at me on AIM or Yahoo messenger. My name on both is Divinstrosity. I'll tell you how to upload some clips, if they're on CD.

Just to set the record straight..... Meechie is the man.  The boy is cold, if you want the flava of the C.O.G.I.C STL. come check him out!!!!!!!!!!!

This is unbelievable.  One day I stopped dead in my tracks and began to pray, and what I prayed was, "Lord who do men say that I am?"  I didn't really get a clear answer that day, but today I am hearing with a little more clarity.  People of God, please stop this nonsense; I'm a man, a husband, a father (of 5), a son, a brother, and a believer, but not great.  I simply play to the glory of God(period).
Those of you who truly know me should know not to even induct me into this train of thought, and especially in such dialogue.  I appreciate those of you who have been supportive of the ministry of God in me, however, per my request please exclude me from your "chat room" quarrels and rivalries.  It must be understood that you are encouraging the spirit of competition while sowing seeds of discord which God hates. Prov.6:16-19    Lastly, don't come to the "Lou" expecting what is being proposed by my zealous colleagues...this has been done without my consent (LAWSUIT): please know that this is not my "M O", I'm all for unity and fellowship not competition.   BTW, I've met Cornell Thigpen, he's tremendously blessed...listen and learn.
