Buster Bennett was an alto sax player and session musician in Chicago during the 1940s. He had backed up artists such as Robert Johnson and Big Bill Broonzy along with a lot of lesser known blues players. In 1945 he formed a trio and was signed by Columbia as part of their "race" catalog. The first disc they cut was "Reefer Head Woman" backed by the instrumental "Leap Frog Blues". He released four or five more discs before Columbia discontinued the "race" series in 1950.
Poor health forced Bennett into an early retirement and he passed away in obscurity.
Thomas - I had no intention of "stepping on your toes". It was at your invitation that I posted in this "Way Back Wednesday" string as I thought you might be interested in what I, and others, had in our libraries. In my mind it is not a competition. I apologize for the offense taken and I will discontinue posting records.
Thank you Mr.Artfoot,,,I say the more the merrier,, One big happy family
Keep on rolling ,,,, I believe you know the reefer Man
I guess when you have a big (art)foot it’s easy to step on toes
I just have to be careful not to stick foot in mouth
Thanks Vy - and I hope the off-handed comments I've made on your posts have been accepted in fun. Your posts come closer to my reality than you could probably imagine.
And thanks to those others who left some love.
MsCrystalShip I agree

You remember The movie “reefer madness “
