This is a fan letter. I don't write many of them but I had to write and tell you how very much I love your song," Here's To Life." I am a Big Band Jazz singer and the daughter of Al Ham and Mary Mayo. I am not sure if you knew my parents or not. My father had a wonderful career as musician, producer, composer conductor, songwriter and finally radio network founder. My mother was one of the best singers ever. Mama died in 1985 and Daddy died in 2001. We played a recording of the Joe Williams version of "Here's To Life" for his memorial and there was not a dry eye in the house. That song was so like him, it was as if you really knew my Dad. So, thank you for that lovely song. I just finished performing on a transatlantic cruise with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. My trio and I closed my show with "Here's to Life." One day I will record it. A very humble thank you from a big fan....
Blessings...

Hi Artie,
It is such a pleasure to write to you. I have loved your music for the longest time. I started out as a music student in Miami. I studied arranging and had all of the wild dreams of having the path in life that you have had. I guess however it was not in the cards for me as I never had your kind of talent. You really have made some quality recordings over the years Artie. Your many types and styles of musical talents are really quite amazing. I understand from reading about you that you are basically self taught. That's the whole point. When you have the God given gift that someone like you has, that's the whole difference. You are to be congratulated for what you have done in your lifetime so far. I am such a big admirer of your talent. Keep up the GREAT work Artie.

Hello Artie Butler,
I just love the way you arrange for Barry Manilow. You have made some great records over the years with him. I just found your website and saw that you made so many of the records I grew up on. WOW.... I can't believe it. "Laughter In The Rain" by Neil Sedaka and "Even Now" by Barry Manilow for starters. I spent a very delightful hour or so down memory lane. I think we are kindred spirits here Artie. Honestly. I really love so much of your music. Oh yes, "Feelin' Al-Right" by Joe Cocker. That one is great too. You are the best. Keep on Rock n' Rollin' there Artie.

Hi Artie,
Saw your performance at the Joe Williams Memorial Concert in Las Vegas last week and I had to contact you to tell you how blown away my wife and I were by your performance. You are a very talented performer as well as a fine composer and arranger. You had the audience eating out of the palm of your hand. What a great career you have enjoyed Artie. How well deserved it is too. You are very gifted and from what I understand a well respected man in your industry. Do keep arranging and composing and making audiences laugh. You seem to be real good at all three of these.

What an incredible talent you have. I've played piano all of my life, and no matter how hard I have tried, I've never come close to anything like your playing. Music is still a mystery to me!!
