Buddy played at Pete's Place in La Mesa for over 10 years, mostly with the Buddy Blue Band. He probably gigged at Pete's more than any other venue, usually at least once a month. Halloween, which Buddy said was his favorite holiday, was the occasion for a traditional Pete's Place Halloween show for most years. This was the 2004 Halloween show, played with The Flying Putos: Jerry, Bongo, and Rolle. This was Buddy's last Halloween show, where he came dressed as his favorite Sopranos character. |
