Gary Busey and Teddy Jack Eddy

Before there was “Gary Busey,” there was Tulsa, Oklahoma drummer Teddy Jack Eddy. 5 of the 9 records Busey has appeared on (that I know of), he’s credited as such.

The name was given to him by artist Gailard Sartain when he started appearing as the as the hot-headed hyperkinetic know-it-all on Sartain’s late night weekend show, Dr. Mazeppa Pompazoidi’s Uncanny Film Festival and Camp Meeting in 1971.

One of Mazeppa’s fans was legendary Tulsa musician, Leon Russell. The pair met when Busey visited Russell’s recording studio, The Church, and he always referred to Busey as Teddy Jack Eddy, where he’s credited on 3 of Russell’s records, and brought him on tour as his drummer. The pair palled around as the Jac’eddie Brothers.

Russell ended up naming his first son, and Busey’s god son, Teddy Jack Russell.

I’ve heard from an extremely dubious source that Teddy Jack Eddy is one of Busey’s 14 or so alters. It wouldn’t shock me, but that will probably remain speculation. Busey snuck in a reference to Teddy Jack in The Buddy Holly Story (check out the scene where he’s fixing the neighbour kid’s guitar), and Teddy Jack Eddy and Family were thanked in the acknowledgements of the film’s soundtrack. It might just be another fun Easter egg, but who knows? Either way, Teddy Jack Eddy left an interesting fingerprint on the 1970s Tulsa art scene.
