Buddy was mixing for someone at Royal recorders at the playboy club in Lake Geneva in 1990. I knew the owner because he would order food from our family restaurant Chicago Pizza Co. I delivered and meet buddy he spent time at my mother's house i moved to Austin in 93 and told him how amazing it was. Sure enough he made his way down to the Great state of Tejas. I knew buddy for 20 years. I'm in my old restaurant thinking about him I miss and loved him.
