greats like Lawrence Welk.Much of Buddy's instrumental guitar recordings have been reissued on CD on Accent Records.The outstanding
one is the 2005 reissue of the 20 track PHASES CD.Assisted by drummers John Klein and Bill Lewis, Buddy's playing evokes the

Merrill's gift for combining electric and acoustic guitars with other worldly Les Paul inspired studio efects, makes it well
worth hearing. In addition to playing Strat on PHASES ,Merrill also spotlights his work on Microfrets Huntington electric,Music
