Both of them were great musicans...I got to know Buddy thru his brother Al that played sax for me and arranged some of my music...I miss him...he passed away about 7 years ago..
the best memory I have of Buddy was when he was playing in Atlantic City and i took a lady friend to see him and when he saw me in the audiance, he greeted me ansd said hello to my friend an then I got embrassed, My frien, lovely as she was, said in her deep Tenn. draw, "can you sing Delta Dawn" everyone started laughing while I slowly sank into my chair...he looked at me smiled and what do you think, he did the damned song for her....later backstage when I presented her to him she just thanked him with much emotion and he just laughed his ass off at me for my being embarassed in the first place....
