R.I.P. Drummer Buddy Harman

Got this sad news via e-mail from original NRBQ drummer Tom Staley this morning:

"Besides "Pretty Woman" and "Little Sister", Buddy was also the drummer on all the Johnny Burnette Trio and Everly Brothers stuff. His creation on "Cathy's Clown" earned him an immediate pass into heaven."

Buddy was also an original member of a great 1980s band called The Nashville Superpickers, which also included former Bob Wills fiddler Johnny Gimble, steel guitar great Buddy Emmons, and world-class harmonica cat Charlie McCoy. Click on the post title for the NY Times obit...
