Whether you saw this band in your early years at Kramer's Lake, or as an adult you might have seen them at Funky's 2, it doesn't matter.  Buster Brown were one of the finest cover/original bar bands I've ever seen. A couple of members went on to future greatness.

Buster Browns best lineup was Members included lead vocalist Johnny Edwards, guitarist Allan Phelps, bassist Kevin Downs. and Clear. Drummer James Kottak..

After the band's second album 'Sign Of Victory', Johnny Edwards and James Kottak were recruited by guitarist Ronnie Montrose into his band Montrose. They played on the Montrose album 'Mean'. They later played together in the original line-up of the band Wild Horses. Shortly after the forming of Wild Horses, Johnny Edwards left to replace Lou Gramm in the band Foreigner, with which he sang on the album 'Unusual Heat'. Shortly after the release of Unusual Heat, Lou Gramm returned to Foreigner and Johnny Edwards was let go of.  Drummer James Kottak is now playing in the German band Scorpions.  What awesome memories they left with us though.
