I've been digging into some of Buddy Cage's earliest recordings and allmusic lists his name as Walter L. Cagle born in Concord NC. well he was born in Toronto which makes me doubt the name as well. anyone know for sure?
Cage's big hero was Buddy Charleton, born Elmer Lee Charleton in 1938. and we all know The Big E was born Buddy Gene Emmons in 1937 (misspelled Betty Jean Emmons on his birth certificate!)
anyone know Buddy Cage's real name?

Re: anyone know Buddy Cage's real name?
The 'puter says this:
"Buddy Cage's original name was Buddy Cage; he was born with that name and did not change it. He was a professional musician best known for his pedal steel guitar work with bands like the Great Speckled Bird and the New Riders of the Purple Sage".

Re: anyone know Buddy Cage's real name?
Huge fan here. This is something I've wondered about for a long time. There is a reference to a different name in the Ian & Sylvia biography. The index entry for Buddy reads: "Cage, Buddy (Gary Saul)" and then: "Saul, Gary, see Cage, Buddy". Would love to know the story.
