age, temperament or sophistication."

"This trio of Newfoundland entertainers could market the elasticity of
Buddy's face alone, for two solid hours of entertainment. This flex-a-
faced, turbo-powered piece of Newfoundland biology, stage-named Buddy,
became in the course of the evening, not just a complete percussion
ensemble courtesy of evety body part imaginable, but he also became a
piston firing, "son of a horn" tootin' automobile in the song, Me Car.
- The North Bay Nugget
"...somebody has to be the best, what's intriguing is what made them
such a sensation: A unique melding of traditional and folk music, shot
right up the middle with the zaniest humour this side of Monty Python."
- The Sunday Express, St. John 's, Newfoundland
"During the course of the evening, the rubber faced Buddy, dressed in
what can only be described as castoffs from Ed Grimley and K.D. Lang,
and appearing at times to be a cross between a slightly bewildered Tom
Smothers and a Maritime Gomer Pyle, held the audience in the palm of
his hand."
- Fredericton Gleaner, New Brunswick
