CRUISIN' N' SHMOOZIN' AND A JULY 4TH GIFT FOR ENGLAND
Busy weekend. But fun. Dinner with dear friends including my godson, Patrik who is suddenly walking. We watched him sleeping on a monitor later and were amazed at what an active sleeper he is. I don't know how he gets any rest. It figures he gets exercise in his sleep as his Mom, Jitka, is also my physical trainer.Spent Sunday in Clearwater, FL at a music business seminar in Pangea Cafe and International Market. Extremely nice place and a new gig venue for me. I have three gigs there before I head to New York for five more gigs. I did a talk radio interview in Clearwater on Friday with my performance coach Joe Yazbeck. They played my song Keeping Secrets and compared me with Mark Knopfler. I've heard that before but about my vocals. One isolated little guitar riff sounds like Knopfler but it was done on a classical guitar in the studio. I'm not performing with a classical and it doesn't come off the same on steel. Long story but that's it. Got some work to do before that gig, I have to tell you. I'll post an MP3 of the interview when I get it.
The music seminar was also given by Joe Yazbeck the executive producer of Heartbeat Productions and Tony Rockcliff who has a very impressive resume as a producer. Tony is shooting my video on July 19 at Pangea.
And in other fantabulous news, I'm STILL NUMBER ONE. That's Seven Weeks, fans! Thanks you very much. Please continue to go to Loneboy store.com and request my song Tattoo.
Vote often. Think American Idol. Only this is in London, England so it's a little like getting back at Simon.
Here's what they said this week:
29.06.08 - Holding strong to his top spot for the seventh week in a row is Bud Buckley and this week the guys are fighting back and taking six of this week chart positions. Congratulations go to Sophia Bass making her LoneBoyStore debut, to Robert Lamm also holding firm in the number four position, and to this weeks highest climber up five places to number two is Jake Hook. Great to welcome back Chris Swinney and Elle Scott and Featured Artists Coolhunter.
Jake Hook (number2 ands rising) is actually signed with LoneBoy as one of their performers and tours for them. So this is huge for me to stay atop that list. I'd love to do an English tour as a result. Your help is graciously appreciated!
Hmm, interesting that we make it a full two months on the top of that English chart on Independence Day weekend, huh?

I agree with you about gigs in England Bud, if it is feasible. And yes, getting back at Simon has me nodding in approval. :D
#1 for 7 seven weeks. How awesome is that. I can't wait to see the video. I saw some pics of the place on-line and it looks like a great venue with its brick wall atmosphere.
I don't know if my comment got accepted, but I just wanted say that Pangea Cafe looks like a great venue with its brick wall atmosphere.
If my trip to Cropredy last year was any indication, be prepared to pay through the nose for everything over there! The dollar is worthless...
