Love me some Buck Dharma. One of the most underrated rock guitarists ever. And BOC were true road dogs back in the day. They toured with everyone, Sabbath, ZZ Top, and Boston being three that I went to, totally fearless. And Buck can really shred with the best of them. Plus writing one of the all time, world wide number one classic rock songs doesn’t hurt. Happy Birthday Buck. Horns up in your honor. Keep on rockin’

We knew those guys around the time of their first 2 albums.
All of them were wonderfully pleasant guys, especially Buck who told me the first time we met "Call me Don."
Fun fact: "Reaper" is the only song ever in the Billboard Top 30 to have a guitar solo played all in modes. (Dorian & Locrian). That's why it has that middle eastern feel. It's the flatted 2nds & 6ths.
