I liked him but von Schmidt was an acquired taste. Quite a few people
including Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, and Cisco Houston recorded 'Buffalo
Skinners' or 'Hills of Mexico'. The lyrics are siilar but it's about
herding cattle. Von Schmidt is the only one I know that stays on the
buffalo theme.

You may have heard the name. In the intro to Dylan's '62 recording of
'Baby Let Me Follow You Down' he says

“I first heard this from Ric von Schmidt. He lives in Cambridge. Ric is a
blues guitar player. I met him one day on the green pastures of the
Harvard University.”

Little late but the Indians are getting their buffalo back.
