I remember him in 1971, I think, introducing Buffalo Bob Smith to a 
college audience at New England Life Hall.  A friend of mine was 
going to Suffolk University at the time and got me a ticket.  At the 
end of the show, Bud Ballou came on stage, and Buffalo Bob sang, 
"Here's a friend of Howdy-Doo / And his name is Bud Ballou..."

Was that his real name?  I keep wondering whether he named himself 
after the Bob & Ray character Wally Ballou.
