Gee, sorry it took so long for the reply...I just saw this. Buddy has been a friend for several years. I met him when he was playing with Steve Earle and the Dukes a couple tours ago, and we've stayed in touch ever since.
Buddy and Julie just swung through town, they did a show at a club in Cambridge [Somerville?] called 'Johnny D's...not a bad club, decent Guiness on tap.
Usually when Buddy swings through town either on a solo thing or with Emmylou Harris we try to hook up. He's one of my absolute favorite songwriters, and one of the most genuinely nice people I have ever met. It's guy's like Buddy that make it worthwhile to still hang around the music business, it's just a damn shame that more folks haven't been exposed to this exceptional talent.
