Sam Butera 1927-2009 "The Wildest Show In Vegas"

The day that David Carradine died, his news overshadowed the passing, of one of the most entertaining perfomers ever Sam Butera. And man did he blow a mean horn. I used to catch him regularly at Texas Station, Palace Station and At the Desert Inn with former co-hort Keely Smith. He was sideman for many years for the crazy man Louie Prima, a match truly made in heaven. So glad I was able to see him live, he was .........the best sax man I ever heard.
