MMHP Season 6 Ep:01--Butch Burden: Count & The Colony Through Changes Part 1 of 2


Listen Later

WELCOME TO THE MMHP in the 989--SEASON 6!!

We kick if off with the original Count--Butch Burden is still thumping the bass and singing the songs. Count & The Colony were the up-and-coming band in the mid-60s, hitting the road with Question Mark & The Mysterians, as well flagging shared management with Lilly Gonzales, touring in the Count's teen years. The road was no stumbling block, providing city-to-city exposure, parties, and dedication to craft which remains to this day. Then the money dried up. A Tangerine Records contract with the Ray Charles Estate included four originals that have never been released.

Burden took his rich vocals, showmanship, and musical drive back home to Mid-Michigan where he continues to reside, 60 years later. His shows are documented in this two-part series through time, story, and epic detail. The bands that he jammed with, the music he created, and the longing to continue to be in a cover oriented group, Count & The Change, giving him a lifetime as a musician.

You won't believe the stories through the eyes of the Count. He is finally sharing the memories. Tune in and TURN IT UP!
