I saw Bonnie Lou and Buster at the Benny
Simms Tribute concert several years ago in Bristol (Ralph was there as well).
It was the first time I had seen them since their local TV show that
aired about 25 years ago. I had
almost forgotten them. I grew up in
Abingdon, VA and I remember watching their show quite a bit. If I am not mistaken, it was sponsored
by Jim Walter’s Homes. I have
heard that Buster has passed, but I cannot confirm that. I have not heard about Bonnie. They were a hoot – that’s
for sure! Sorry I can’t help
anymore than that. Take care. Mr. Widener, you may know my Dad,
Charles Sullins – or you may have known my Grandfather, Fred
Sullins. He owned a country store
just outside of Abingdon, VA – past White’s Mill – up until about 1975. Just thought I’d ask.

Does anyone remember Bonnie Lou and
Buster Moore? They were on Farm and Fun Time back in the mid 1950's. I don't
remember if they were on with The Stanley Brothers or not. I'd sure like to
know what happened to them. Thanks.
