I’m just devestated.
July 17th, 2010
This is actually old news (October 2009 in fact), but I just found out a few minutes ago. Norton Buffalo, one of my all-time favourite musicians passed away. If you don’t know him, he has been the harmonica and high range backup vocals on Steve Miller so0ngs for 30 years, as well as featuring on Doobie Bros and many other Bay Area musician’s albums. It was like a punch in the guts when I saw a tribute clip on Youtube, it’s like a part of my life just evaporated (I saw him in ’78 and have followed him ever since).
The tribute clip was crap, so I’ve picked a couple of clips I like. This first one is from around ’77, the second one I’ve posted before (about 3 years ago).
This is with Roy Rogers (seriously, that’s his name)…
RIP Norton.

Im sorry. Ive done that before and its a shock. Thanks for posting finally!! :-)
alas. RIP.
never occurred to me tho. Norton BUFFALO and ROY ROGERS? strange…
Damn. I’m sorry. I hate it when stuff like that happens, when news like that arrives so belatedly.
I’m so sorry to hear about this WT.
awww… that is a great video (the 2nd one)
I, too, love the harmonica.
death always comes too early.
(ps. we’re going to see the doobie Bro’s next month. Mostly Wally is the fan)
Bummer. But as his music lives on, so does he. Thanks for sharing.
That second clip is a winner WT, always sad to loose a good musician.
RIP and thanks for this posting, WT.
Damn, that sucks.
That does suck. However, I was highly amused by his pseudo pirate getup in the first video.
Has the title been misspelled all along? Why did it take me so long to see it? Why am I still awake and worried about typos at midnight?
