WSB Radio personality Ivey Peterson, best known to listeners as his alter ego, Herman "Horsehair" Buggfuzz, was born in Birmingham, Alabama on December 30, 1910. Peterson played both guitar and upright bass, performing with Atlanta's Peachtree Cowboys and on WSB Radio with The Ranch Boys, a western-swing group, in 1941. It was on WSB, as Herman "Horsehair" Buggfuzz, that Peterson gained popular appeal. Peterson enjoyed a long career with the station, serving as sometime master of ceremonies for the WSB "Barn Dance" and later appearing as one of the new cast members on "Barn Dance" when the show was revived in 1952. Ivey Peterson was a co-owner of a popular Atlanta country music nightspot, the Covered Wagon, along with brothers and fellow country performers Mac and Bobby Atcheson. Peterson died in 1991.
