How can you not notice the Purple Suit?



Buzz was friendly towards me from the get-go (Buckeye 91) but it wasn't until Spah Memphis 94, that we really connected. I had come back to playing the harmonica after a 35 year lay off, and was scheduled to play up at the open air gazebo/tent at Jackson Square when a lightning storm held up the show. We had just lost our only son and I was pretty down. I was going to give up EVERYTHING but Buzz convinced me that music (and harp) was good therapy and a mental outlet for my anguish. So, basically he kept me in the game. Since then I have met the only people I have ever had any use for.....Harmonica players. Buzz (& Allen Holmes) have been my biggest influences.

As for the purple sport jacket, I have one in green & gold Chinese brocaide that makes his look bland. I got too fat to wear it. :)
