============================
Editor's Note: although the name Buck Dharma is familar, I needed to do a little research to figure out who he is. He's an American songwriter and guitarist, perhaps best known as a bandmember in Blue Öyster Cult, going back to the group's founding in 1967. He wrote and sang the lead vocal on many of the BOC most popular hits,e.g. "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" and "Burnin' for You". His real name is Donald Roeser; the nickname came from an idea of band managed Sandy Pearlman...he envisioned each bandmember having an unusual stage name. As it turned out, Roeser was the only one who really liked the idea, and his was the only name that stuck. He is notable for playing the the Gibson SG and many custom Steinberger models.
