From Billie Schuller


Photo of Leslie "Buster" Ray. Have a childhood one one of him and my sister, Anna. Also an article of when he, Dad (Lew Henderson), and Anna played a Minnesota fair in 1929 to cover for free acts that were "not up to par" according to the local paper. The Rays and Hendersons were often playing near each other and Buster and Ann would often perform on either show.


From Buckles:
"Barbara says that Buster was a half brother, from her father's previous marriage.
She added that he was quite small in stature but very talented and remembers him tap dancing while playing an accordion then suddenly go into a back somersalt without missing a note."
