Buddy Greene - Really good Harp

[Singin Jimmy]

Buddy Greene has played a lot on the Bill Gaither gospel concerts - otherwise not well known, but a great talent.  I thought you might like these:

Are you sure that's actually Buddy Greene???

[Mark M]

Sorry.... Haaaa!!!

Seriously, I loved all three. I never imagined that a harmonica could be a lead instrument in a gospel group! I've never heard of Buddy Greene before but he seems like quite the character and excellent harp player. Man, he was hitting the notes on that last one... very impressive.

WOW...that guy's good!  Thanks for sharing Jim!

Mark, I thought he looked more like Buck Henry...

Buddy does look like Buck Henry! Buck, who produced "The Graduate" (among many movies) is very ill as we bring him up. Say a prayer for him.

Buddy Greene is way cool. First I ever heard of him. He can kick it out on that "mouth organ"!

WOW ! ! ! ! !
That was fantastic Jim. Reminds me that I want to do a version of Jonathan Edwards "Santy" with a christian reworking of the lyrics.  " we're gonna pray around the shanty mama, and put a God buzz on...
Thanks for some great vids.
