    In the 2010 edition of the festival, did the band pay any form of tribute to Butch Stone?

    1. Sadly we never did a Butch Stone tribute. I did get a copy of A Good Man is Hard to Find from Les Jr. It is now in the M & J Big Band library. They use it on a regular basis and are probably the only band currently playing it.
