Some of Bud’s relatives live near me in Jacksonville, NC also….Eddie from the Lil John and the Music Toes, Dominoes and the Originals
Loved his music!
Jim Bogdon says
Bud was a friend of mine for many years. Before he started his band he played in several other bands. He helped out my Band the Jimmy Bogdon Orch. along with Johnny Komrada, and Larry Davis. Our band was more of a commercial type where weddings, banquets, parties, dances requiring all types of music was necessary. But we did play our share of Polkas. Bud did a great job and started a great band, he will be sadly missed by everyone. Thanks for starting this tribute.
Rich Mansfield says
I played for Bud for more than 30 years. What a great time and music we had. I have been close friends with him for years . He wrote and arranged well and a sound all his own. To me he was one of the greats !!
