I’m saddened this week to find out that my dear friend, band leader and guitar virtuoso Byrd (Barry) Burton has passed away.Some of you may not know who this amazing musician and human being was, however I thought I would share with you all what it is to be truly a FANTASTIC musician. The greatest thing about Byrd is that he didn’t even realize what a strong affect he had on me. He was so humble. He not only made my music better sounding by his unbelievable guitar playing, but he also helped to make me a better person. I am so very glad and fortunate to have had the chance to meet such an amazing person in my lifetime. I can only hope that all of you are able to meet such a musician/person like Byrd in your music careers. Here is a link to his website and to the memorial article I found.
