Ever hear of Roy Buchanan?

He came up on my Spotify just now. Holy Cow! Great sound. Reminds me of David Gilmour.

of course. Roy Buchannon was one of the great guitar pickers.

I had not heard of him before, but WOW!

I hadn't heard anybody mention his name in years, but yea, he really was a great player.

 

this thread reminded me of one time that I heard him on Don Kirchner's Rock Concert when I was still in grade school

 

back then there was no "recording" tv of any kind, so I had one of those portable cassette recording decks, and I put it up to the TV speaker and recorded him playing on the show, then listened to that tape until I wore the tape out

My technique was pretty high tech.

 

I'd turn on my Toot-a-loop, hit the record buttons on the cassette deck, place a plastic barrel over the two to keep out background noise.

 

 

I miss my Toot-a-loop.

His "Can I Change My Mind" is one of the KSHE95 klassics.
