Jon Butcher Wishes

[@PastorChrisRN]

I remember this song from the 80’s when I was breaking free from addiction and after a failed suicide attempt. It was one my of the songs that moved me in a positive direction. Been sober since 1989.

[@DIYNauticalDream]

congratulations on your sobriety and break from addiction. May you continue to be blessed in your new life. I have 24 years of sobriety .

[@DarioMicheals]

Saw Jon Butcher walking down Beale Street during Memphis in May. He was laid back cool and kind to all those that went running up to him👏. Love this song

[@magilla878]

I have not heard this in ages and had almost forgotten what a Beautiful song it is.

[@PattonGuitar]

Man, growing up this was one of my go to albums. I thought for sure Jon Butcher was going to be the next greatest singer/guitarists. I still don't get why he didn't take off. This entire album is magic, and this song is the prestige,

[@ralphreinhardt6020]

Bought this cassette back in 1987. Rocked the hell outta it. The whole album is great!🎸🎸🎸

[@alarmfannh]

Still have mine!

[@t.j.andrews4392]

that guitar solo still gives me goosebumps!

[@shawneaton4029]

I've seen hundreds of concerts in my life, and Jon Butcher in the mid-80's is still one of my top 5 favorites! \m/_

[@starlitblond]

Oh so good. I had the cassette before CD, stretched that puppy out.. driving around hitting rewind.. it made the night so magical.

[@tmlafrance]

greatly under played and appreciated song, up there with David and David

[@reggiehall7612]

I just can't stop listening to this. I hope Jon knows.

[@devincapps1619]

he doesn't know.

[@shannidee2384]

Just found my album. So happy I still have it!

[@rogersdrums]

Great song !!

[@stlrockn]

I have this on vinyl and CD. Been a fan of Jon's since the 80s.

[@ralphcavallo6510]

[@alarmfannh]

For the Boston area fans I hear JBA just played on a new stage at Kowloon’s on Rt.1 Video anyone?

[@glenda8039]

Magical song! I remember the first time I heard this back in the 80's I ran out and bought the cassette that day! I still have it 😊

[@MrSteveagosto]

Love me some Jon Butcher.

[@ldolphin34]

The biggest musical outrage of the 1980s was the Wishes album by Jon Butcher not making the top 40. This is as good an album as I've ever heard in my life, and I own 35,000 albums. I am a lifelong Jon Butcher fan and will buy anything he puts out.

[@MoOn42O]

a black rocker just didn't fit back then. he was to jimi hendrix for the young hip hop industry.

[@ALEEN517]

I remember buying this album when I was a teenager. Thank you for sharing this. This song was stuck in my head the day I went to get my new Les Paul.

[@marto880]

Anthony Norton I didn't buy the vinyl but I still have the cassette.

[@paulieshouse]

Anthony Norton I think this was the last album I ever bought. Amazing song😎

[@davegass1650]

One of my favorite songs ever ! I would love to see a great musician like Joe bonamassa. Cover this incredible song .

[@msbevins101]

Wore this out...Not a bad song on it...

[@rpsmith2990]

I remember how this sounded in the Camaro I had back then. It sounded like he was singing from the right rear seat...

[@mamat8184]

Saw Jon perform this in Charleston. It was incredible! Thank you for sharing!

[@rorygp38]

wish i had been there....

[@mamat8184]

@@rorygp38 Me too...

[@kedrigenn]

Very hendrix-y If Jimi heard I think he'd be honored :)

[@pivoncat]

Thanks, I think Jimi would have liked it too.

[@troybullard9631]

Yeah; I could be wrong, (but I doubt it) but I sure do hear some Castles Made Of Sand combined with Bold As Love influence (or inspiration) here. Especially in the intro, and all the way thru the build-up, and finally when the drummer leads into the final lyrics and Jon's guitar solo and fade-out ending. This is a real Gem of a song that doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Too bad that the guitar solo at the end fades out so soon.

[@dalemurnane8705]

​@@troybullard9631You are right.

[@reveddro319]

great tune

[@molliestavros1199]

Wow call me stupid. Jon I met you one night in a dive in OKC as you waited for your girlfriend. My husband kept saying "Mollie this is your man Jon Butcher and I kept saying no way!" But what a pleasure to finally meet you

[@matthewmorales1285]

Dreams live think it as though it is real, it will become reality!!!

[@toddmalone5893]

Matthew Morales sho you right.

[@johnnytightwad3784]

The secret, read the book.or the game of life and how to play it.

[@bertiejohnson9276]

Scored a promo copy of the vinyl today for a buck.

[@leonidastheking7830]

Andy timmons must be inspired by this

[@8metwinstripletssy322]
