HW 40th Anniversary Show - Huw

[Albert Bouchard]

Buck took accordion lessons for years as a kid. He would also sit in  
with his father's band. His father, who was also named Donald, was a  
semi-professional musician who played the sax. You can hear sax lines  
in his playing quite often. He quite consciously developed his modal  
style in the early Soft White Underbelly days.
