Buster Poindexter, is a musician, better known for its collaborations with the Saturday Night Live band. He had a single in 1987, called Hot, Hot, Hot. Buster Poindexter is actually the psuedonym for David Johansen who began his musical career with the New York Dolls, an early 70's glam rock proto - punk band."
As Buster grew old the easiest way to care for him and not interrupt the act was to take him on the stage with them, and so this was done.
"Buster" does not give the impression of having been taught; his work is so spontaneous and so accurate that it shows him to be above the average performer of his age in intelligence and indicates that he understands the value of pause and emphasis as well or better than many a performer of mature years.
Buster, like the rest of the world, was enthralled with Houdini's act, often watching him from the wings or even from up above in the flies to try to figure out Houdini's secrets.
By Busters third number it became obvious that it was going to be tough-going to make it through the evening for both Buster and me. Poindexter looked noticeably tired, rubbing this face often and pumping his vocal chords with a handy tincture that he kept within arms reach.
Buster told us that the other evening he slept like a baby I cried and wet my bed. In addition, he mentioned that he recently had the honors of crooning the Star Spangled Banana for a Mets game at Shea Stadium.
Poindexter introduced it as a boog-a-loo (God forbid he should utter the four-letter word rock) and from the first few moments of the 12-bar-blues rave, it was evident that things were about to perk up.
