Henry Butler truly has a gift it is inspirational to listen to someone who uses their talent to create such beauty.
Just demonstrates how many wonderful facets there are for all people to enjoy in life.
An integration of so many feelings...
Experiencing Mr. Butler's music was personal..an integration of many feelings.
The music was wonderful. The richness of Mr. Butler's voice was magical. It was,however, the description of the other pieces of the performance in combination with Mr. Butler that made this podcast so intriguing.
The Music by Hery Butler Gave me goosebumps. The thought of someone overcoming their disability is heroic and inspiring. Sandy pellegrini
Wonderful to hear Henry Butler. Wish the site had some of his photography. I loved his comment re: if 12 people describe his photos he gets 13 descriptions. Check out John and Henry's first interview:
