They were exceptional guitarist and the next time you watch the reruns of “Bonanza” you will be hearing the talented guitar of Don Duffy playing the theme. Don also was on the sound track of several Elvis movies as well as other Hollywood productions. Sean was an incredible guitarist himself, one of the best I ever had the pleasure of working with. One night in a club on Ventura Blvd. in Studio City, CA, we were performing as “The J.P. Sloane Show featuring the Sean Duffy Band,” my elder brother in the “Ma & Pa Kettle” movies—Richard Long—came and sat in with us just before he flew out of LAX to do the “Merv Griffin Show.” I have a lot of wonderful memories of both Duffys’ what a talented family and what a great loss to the music world now that they are gone.J.P.

Hil was Hil Duffy, recently of Red Murrell's band and soon to join the Saddle Dusters; Hal was Hal Bressler, soon to change his performing name to Hal McCoy; Buck was Buck Page (real name, Don Duffy -- Hil's brother). These guys came from Pennsylvania and started out there as members of Sons Of THe Purple Sage, also working in New York Cityfor a while before heading West. Buck Page later claimed that the Sons Of The Purple Sage were actually called the Riders Of THe Purple Sage and that Foy Willing's group had grown out of it, but this is totally untrue. Different group, different name. Page, however, was much later the leader of the Riders of The Purple Sage for many years...Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887737884087502909noreply@blogger.com
