On a lighter note, I remember playing a show with m'old band (The Phantom 5) at Tramps - and DJ's band left a Fender amp hanging to the rear of the stage with the stencil "Banshees of Blue" presumably because Buster was performing there regularly. I looked over at my devious band mate and said "Don't you even think about it..." Fun times!

Fo' sho'! He plaed lots of harp with the Harry Smiths. He (no surprise) was so friggin' entertaining. He kept putting drops of St. John's Wort on his tongue string throughout one show that he was "so depressed."
