Buddy Rich

Buddy was quite a guy, as these recordings attest. These are real recordings of Buddy's diatribes, as recorded by band members while traveling on his bus.

"This Is Not The God Damn House Of David"

In this laugh-filled episode, Buddy is upset
about the guys wearing beards - thus his
allusion to The House Of David Baseball
Team, thus proving Buddy was a veritable
Wikipedia of useful information! The player
he really tears into is the guy recording this!

"Shut That Fucking Door"

Another zany escapade by Buddy finds him
pulling the band off the stand onto the bus to
tear them a new one. The "You Can't Play Shit"
line is a scream!

"When I Call A Tune"

That zany Buddy is at it again!!
In this disply of wacky hijinks, Buddy explains to the
guys that they need to learn the book a little better!

"Clams"

My personal favorite! Who wouldn't want to play on a
really loud big band 6 nights a week, riding on a bus with a
of real smelly guys, playing high schools
for $250 a week when you get sage advice like this from
a real pro? Sign me up! :-)
