Creole Myers: In looking back at what we’ve covered before, what we discussed yesterday, it seems scattered. What I’d like to do is take a more systematic approach today. Try to get a coherence, a sense of narrative out of your story. So, I’d like you to start at the beginning. Talk as long as you want, divert as often as you’d like, but let’s go from Idlewild to L.A., if you can, from Uke to Martin, so to speak.

  Buddy Gardner: Ok, man. I’m game.

  CM: So, um, go ahead.

  BG: Oh, just tell my story, is that it? Are you going to interject?

  CM: Yeah, yeah. I’ll keep us going. Lorelei, jump in anywhere you can to help us go in a straight line, anywhere you can help us illuminate a particular passage. I mean, in the end, I’ll distill however many hours of tape we collect down to a precious storyline, something concrete. So, riff, give me your best tale.

  BG: I started out as a child. (laughs)

  CM: What?
