In 2010, what was supposed to be a one-time thing, Butch put together a makeshift "Elvis Outfit" to sing for an event at a local nursing home. That began Blue Suede Memories, Tribute to Elvis Presley Show that he has performed all over NC and into SC, singing the hits and lesser-known songs of "The King of Rock & Roll" in period attire.
