And we enter the Buren era. This was the first time I saw Buren with the band but I'm told he'd already played at least once with the band in Atlanta. Right away I thought he fit in great. Several new songs were blasted out and I wrote "Boogie with Buren" on the tape card for at least three of them. Unfortunately the primary tape with rhe bulk of the show was in the tape deck in my trusty pickup when some low life broke into it and ripped it off. Dayam! That was the moment when I decided that no more master tapes would leave the Oy-house. I started dubbing every tape right away and listening to the dubs. So what we have here is the last six tunes from the New Years show, the hook for me being the two new tunes, You Don't Love Me and Honeysuckle Blue. I'd last seen the band in August of that year so I hadn't yet heard Honeysuckle and I immediately loved it, of course. 

Since the great Star Bar and Daytrotter sets are now avai;able, I feel a little sheepish posting my pedestrian efforts but, nonetheless, this is history and every single on of my tapes is going on the Archive before I die. Next up, the very first show billed as The Chattahochee Koochee Men.
