Uncle John’s Band > Playin’ in the Band > Uncle John’s Band - Grateful Dead
3.30.88 - Meadowlands Arena, E. Rutherford NJ
This popped up on my iTunes shuffle tonight, so I figured I’d share. The pre-drums portion of the 2nd set from this show is one of my favorites from the late 80s. Check out the Shakedown set opener, followed by Looks Like Rain as well.
Let It Sing - The South
03.30.06
Anybody who got a chance to see The South was blessed. The band was a short -lived and georgeous combination of thoughtful lyrics and strong front porch acoustic lines, based out of Columbia, SC. I always thought the band was on the verge of busting big into country radio. Think Lady Antebellum meets Union Station at the fishing shack by the river during the day, then gets all gussied up and taken out to the honky tonk for an evening of brown liquor with Charlie Daniels and Marshall Tucker. This band was going places with a full southeastern touring schedule, a constant flow of new music in the hopper, and talented musicianship taboot.
Their demise was unfortunate and sad when Chris Connor (formerly of Sourwood Honey and lead vocalist) passed on due to cancer at the end of ‘07. The guy always had a smile and something positive to say even when you could tell life wasn’t tops for him personally.
Over the years, I got to see Chris play with different bands, from Mobile to Columbia and spend some personal time with him just shooting the shit. I know one thing, everybody felt comfortable around the guy, and he just wanted to share the joy he got from playing music with us.
RIP Chris Connor.

The Butter Room was built to spread and discuss live music. The contributors of this site all volunteer their time to provide the content. We do this as a labor of love. Our name, The Butter Room, references an small, low-lit room in a Virginia Tech Fraternity with nothing but a few benches and tables. You go there to get away from all distractions and have a conversation, which is what we want to foster here: a place where you can get away from all the distractions of life to enjoy and discuss live music.
