Actually I didn’t read the article yet, just the email about it which also mentions and links to several other relevant articles from yesteryear.

Have both the Curtis and Stevens books, the latter is shorter so I will try that one first.

I read the Stevens and enjoyed it very much. A good biography interspersed with many interesting diversions about the times Buster lived and worked in. I started the Curtis but felt like I was getting pummeled with biographical minutiae and didn't get very far.
