Buck Dharma

Biography

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 Oyster Cult since the groups formation in 1967. He wrote and performed on many of the bands best-known hits, including "(Dont Fear) The Reaper" and "Burnin For You" (originally intended for one of Roesers solo albums.)

The nickname came from an idea from the bands 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.
