What ever happened to "Baby Butch?"
Bill Schreiber
She died July 8th of this same year. Smokey told me it was from liver flukes and from her condition seen in these pictures, he was probably right.
Who is that in the background? I looks like a "RAWLS!"

The bells make a ton of sense...how many of us have been on the backlot and the handlers not paying attention and next thing you know you've got one hot mama breathing down your neck! Most recently this happened to me on the RBBB engagement at the continental arena where the girls have to do a cul-de-sac impersonation to get to the portal! One second they're waiting for their time to come in, I'm walking up the ramp, next thing I here is "Move Up, Move Up" and Asia's trunk is 1' behind me....wish they had bells on their toes that day cuz I almost crapped my pants....when they here their music there's no stopping them!
Regards
AC
