I always thought Sonny Bono copped their act. The only difference was that Prima and Smith had talent.

It was Jan of 1999 believe it or not Goes by fast doesn't it?
I saw one of the shows at the Masonic, and only then found out about the shows at Bimbo's you were lucky to get the tickets.

They weren’t all that many years apart in age. Barbieri is 74, Butera just passed at 81.

ungh, what a huge loss to the music world. ;)I'm sure he passed it on.
How did he sound in '04 at, what 75 years young?

He was awesome—spot on perfect. I can honestly say one of the best shows I ever saw. I was blown away by the perfection and intensity he and his band displayed.....absolutely magnificent.
