Growing up in Louisiana, Buddy longed to move to Chicago where Muddy Waters and others were quickly making Chicago the Blues capital of the world. His mother, however, was not so fond of the idea. Nearly a thousand miles away, Chicago was not the most forgiving of cities and Buddy had little more than aspirations. But besides being driven and musically gifted, he was creative. Although he had no employment lined up, he fibbed to his worried mother that he had a great job waiting for him in Chicago and that when he was rich and successful he would buy her a polka dot Cadillac. It was just enough to get her blessing and off to Chicago Buddy went. Buddy’s mother passed away before she ever got see him play live, but he never forgot his promise. He knew he couldn’t find a polka dot Cadillac, so instead he had Fender make a polka dot guitar so he would always have the memory of his mother with him, no matter where his touring took him.
