Bill Buddendorf

Brave and Strong and True

My guest is Bill Buddendorf. I am surprised to learn that Bill was in the last show I did at Summer Stage in 1985. Bill took the enthusiasm and talents he developed at Summer Stage with him to a performing arts high school and college. He shares his skills as a professor at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Using the name Bill Budd, he writes original music, records albums, and performs live. Unfortunately, two sections of this recording are cut out because of interference from a BlueTooth device. They lasted only a few seconds and you will notice I fill the gaps with a few seconds of our theme music, a trick I learned from our friends over at The Naked Lunch Podcast. I hope you enjoy our conversation, so, come along and have some fun. . .
We all have stories to tell and they can be heard here.
