Met Star Turns Singer: Bud Harrelson Doesn't Do Anything Halfway
Kingsport Times-News (Kingsport, TN), December 26, 1971
Bud Harrelson performs at a country-western bar in Woodridge, New Jersey. The article includes a photo of Buddy strumming on a guitar. (This explains why Bruce Stark later pictured Bud playing shortstop with a guitar on his back in his full-color caricature in the Daily News Sunday comic section.)
