 | | Buddy got his start in music performing with his father, George Miles and his band, The Bebops, at the age of twelve, and played drums for the jazz-influenced combo for several years. |
 | | After a performance with Wilson Pickett at the RKO Theatre in Brooklyn, New York, Buddy was approached by guitarist Mike Bloomfield (Paul Butterfield Blues Band), and was asked to join the newly-formed blues-rock band, The Electric Flag, along with fellow Omaha natives Stemsy Hunter and Herbie Rich. |
 | | Buddy still refers to it as "the best band I ever played in." Fifteen months later, Buddy formed The Buddy Miles Express, again with Omaha, NE natives — this time - Herbie Rich and Billy Rich. |
