Received Buddy's bio in the mail yesterday. Thankyou so much for sending me this we can certainly use for the program and I will make sure it KK has it for the show coming up.

I really loved all the tracks from the album especially tracks 1,2 5,and 6, 9, 10 and 12. ....magic stuff...and so will add these across our Australian blues hour part (5-6)of the 3 hour show.

Thanks again and please pass on our best regards to Buddy from KK and myself
