Buddy Fite Views
I have to admit that Buddy Fitee's music has been completely unknown to me until I found your great blog and postings. Ir've been listening to Kenny Burrell, Grant Green and all them great blueslickins' maestros since the early 80p's and I was totally surprised that such a talent as Buddy Fite is, isnm't largerly known among guitar enthusiaistics. What a great player he is! Thank you so much. (Sorry n'bout my english)
The Birth of the Story: I clearly remember a night almost thirty years ago when I was supposed to be getting ready to go to Portland to hear Buddy Fite play jazz guitar. I love Buddy Fite's music, but my old portable typewriter was on the desk in the bedroom, and the rain pelted down on the roof of the A-frame house my partner and I had rented, and it reminded me of Kentucky. I sat down at that typewriter and I began what would become almost thirty years later When Lois Lane Sings. While that story perked in me, I wrote The Laws of Eleanor and Portrait of Peninsula Woman.
