about

Kitty Puss
Buddy Thomas of Emerson, Kentucky, played this lovely tune. Buddy was born in 1934 and is said to have suffered poor health his whole life. He died at age 39. Luckily, at least some of his playing was recorded, and it is a real gift to hear. Buddy’s cousin, Leona Stam, backs up his fiddling with wonderfully interesting accompaniment throughout the album that bears the same name as this tune. As far as we’re concerned, Buddy’s tunes really aren’t the same without Leona’s chords, so we’ve tried to play Leona’s chords accurately here. AJ and Rina would like to dedicate this tune to a beloved kitty puss; Sylvie, who sat in banjo cases during many band practices, left this world a week before this cd was recorded.
