I've met Buddy a number of times. He played at a Windsor International Blues Festival and I loaned him my Maz 38 (silver head behind him in picture). He is a fantastic human being as well as a great guitar player! John Mayall once called him "the greatest Bluesbreaker" which would put him a rarified group of guitarists (Mick Taylor, Walter Trout, Clapton, Coco Montoya, Peter Green)
