He recently stated that writers for Buddy magazine who covered the blues scene in the Dallas-Fort Worth area helped resurrect the career of Zuzu Bollin and introduced mainstream music fans notable regional blues artists, including jazz guitarist Roger Boykin (né Roger Mitchell Boykin; born 1940) and blues singer R.L. Griffin (aka "Fat Daddy;" Raymond Lewis Griffin; born 1939) and the late pianist Boston Smith, brother of Buster Smith.[i]

At its peak, Buddy had editions in Dallas, Houston, and Austin/San Antonio and a staff of almost two dozen.[5]
