Buck Dharma (Donald Brian Roeser) Quotes

I enjoy playing and singing as much today as I ever did. I don’t have to work, but I do it because it’s rewarding personally. I could live if I couldn’t do it anymore, but I truly enjoy it, and will do it for another couple years at least.

I have cherished him and so has the rest of the world who knew him and loved him for his entire career.
