I think Orrex is getting people's attention.

I'm sitting here watching a video of a concert being performed by "Donna the Buffalo" (a popular New York State band) from Trumansburg NY on 7/17/25.

I just happened to notice this guy's shirt in the front row, so I took a screen shot of it.

Is he dead yet?

I haven't heard the name Donna the Buffalo in decades. Glad to hear they are still playing. Wow.

"Dawn of the Buffalo", but the name was misheard by someone as "Donna the Buffalo", and the name stuck.

My dear departed cousin was a DJ at a college radio station, and this was his favorite band. I've been thinking of him a lot lately, so that's why I'm listening to this band.

They have a huge following in New England due, in part, to their yearly participation in the Rhythm 'n Roots Festival in Charlestown, RI, each Labor Day Weekend. In their earlier days when I first learned of them, they would casually play at barn parties and small venues and acquired many friends in the area. They are very well known and loved by RI's active and appreciative bluegrass/cajun fan base.

... took them 12 hours after activating this account to finally post. The account was registered weeks ago. A lot of work to blow it all down in less than 15 minutes. Hardly anyone ever sees these posts. what a silly waste, except for those who enjoy shutting these snotballs down.

Word is spreading. Somewhere I saw a poster or post that read, "When we ask, is he dead yet, nobody has to ask who we mean."

We were well back from the stage and I don't remember that guy walking around but...wow! Love it! There are some good folks in the Herd.

Looks like I'll be listening to some DtB for a little bit.

I started posting them on 47's inauguration day, but I suspect that it's a case of parallel evolution among like-minded folks!

plays in western New York quite often. They have a dedicated fan base around here. I've seen them several times and I've always had a great time at their shows.
