So Sweet My Little Playlist

Billy Butler sitting playing his electric guitar, looking down, concentrating (also, maybe a little shy) next to his brother Jerry, also sitting on a stool, singing into a microphone looking at Billy playing. Jerry is wearing a suit with wide lapels and Billy has on plaid pants with a large pattern.
I dig you, Jerry and Billy Butler.
