  Hi Matt,
  
  That’s a big deal posting for me and for all who like the Blues. Buddy is perhaps my all time blues man. If I could ever get to really play the blues like a blues man I would love to be able to copy his dynamics… no chance of course but he made a dream for many of us and when I first heard him on ‘Hoodoo Man Blues’ and ‘Its My Life’ I knew that was the music for me and its why I am here now 45 years on!
  Thanks for posting.

  Hey John, Buddy is one of my favorites as well. His tone, touch, attitude and stage presence are one of a kind. I always loved his vocals, the way he belts it out. I don’t take much time to post on the forum, but I wanted somebody else to enjoy this. It was so heartfelt he was almost in tears talking sometimes. I would love to go to see him at his club in Chicago before it’s too late

  A wonderful documentary. Thanks for sharing Matt. Buddy’s humour and modesty is reflected in how he’d like to be remembered … “He wasn’t the best in town – but was the best until the best come around.”
  
  Here’s one of his many great songs.

  I had the honor to see Buddy play live in – of all places – Colorado Springs, CO – on June 19, 2018! Not a big town south of Denver about 60 mi/90 clicks. he played maybe 15 songs is all. However, his stories were amazing and made up for the lighter load of tunes for sure. Bob
