He is also an uncle of country music star, Marty Robbins. Buster Jig is Gail. He picked up that moniker from his father’s initials. His father, James I. Gardner, ran a local general merchandise store and his son Gail was called “Buster J.I.G.”-Arizonaoddities.com. -- You can read the whole poem and a short bio of Gail at the website just noted. -- Well worth the visit.
