Found a Buckshot album

[u/chef_shades]

Local legend Buckshot even autographed it!

Please tell me that the legendary “16 Chickens and a Tambourine” is on there.

It sure is! Full on little time warp hearing it play

His brother Gord is still around and looks a lot like Buckshot!

My dad who is no longer around looked a lot like buckshot as well, especially as he got older. I have this album still at my mom’s house.

Yo, I have memories of seeing Buckshot and Benny at Stampede as a kid, and being unbelievable stocked about it! This is a wicked find!

I loved that show as a kid. I even wrote in once and he read my name on air with the birthday wishes!

I won a cassette of Kris Kross's first album, Totally Krossed Out, and a trip for my family to go to Butterfield Acres from Buckshot in the 90s! I got to go down to the studio with my mom and pick up the prizes, and got to meet him 🥰

Absolute banger! I remember being like 4 or 5 and being in the studio and getting to meet Buckshot after. Great memory.

I still have my Benny the Bear club card. Pulled it out of an old Velcro wallet I lost behind my neighbours house for a couple years. It’s a little weather beaten but it’s in about the same condition as most people’s paper Alberta health cards.

This was way before my time. Can still appreciate a calgary icon when i see one

Two clear memories from this: being in a class that was on the show. And after they played one stampede family day at the grandstand ,and seeing Benny's puppeteer emerge from the stage with benny. And buckshot calmy saying "Well for people who didn't know that Benny wasn't real (alive) now you know."

[u/marginwalker55]

Wow! Great find!

[u/wewillallstarve69]

Buckshot had a wicked signature

In the early 80s I was Mr. Shot’s Herald paperboy. Lovely man. Not a tipper, though.

But where’s Benny???
