1933 - Buzz Busby (Bernarr Busbice) was born on this day. A mandolinist and a native of Eros, Louisiana. During the 50s, his band included Scotty Stoneman, Bill Emerson, Eddie Adcock, Jack Clement, Charlie Waller and Pete Pike, with whom he created a comic duo called Ham And Scram. During the 50's and 60's he had his own daily Hayloft Hoedown on WRC-TV. He and his group, the Bayou Boys, played in Washington, Boston, Shreveport on the Louisiana Hayride and Wheeling, W.V. In the late 60s, Busby formed a band with Leon Morris that recorded for Rounder and Jessup Records, but any further progress was soon halted while he served another prison term. In the early 80s, he recorded for his brother's Webco label, backed by the Johnson Mountain Boys, but ill health forced him retire in 1984. Buzz Busby died of heart failure in January 2003 at the age of 69. |
