TOM SCHOLZ


Donald Thomas "Tom" Scholz (born March 10, 1947), is an American rock musician, songwriter, guitarist, inventor, and electronics engineer. He is best known as the founder of the hard rock band Boston and inventor of the Rockman guitar amplifier. Scholz, as noted by Allmusic, is "a notoriously 'un-rock n' roll' figure who never enjoyed the limelight of being a performer," but instead concentrated on his music. After achieving commercial success with Boston, Scholz has spent much of his time working with charities.[1]

BUCK DHARMA


Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser (born November 12, 1947, in Long Island, New York) is an American guitarist and songwriter, best known for being a member of Blue Öyster Cult since the group's formation in 1967. He wrote and sang the lead vocal on many of the band's best-known hits, including "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" and "Burnin' for You" (the latter was originally intended for Roeser's solo album.)

The nickname came from an idea from the band's manager, Sandy Pearlman, who envisioned each member of the band having an unusual stage name; Roeser was the only one who took to the idea, and his was the only name that stuck.
