Wow. LONG time since I heard this last. Possibly the intro music from one of those syndicated Sunday evening hourly talk shows that use to pop up on a few New York City commercial FM Rock stations in the early/mid 70's?

Was enjoying it until the (self-indulgent) skittery treble bit. My eardrums say "no thanks!" {#Confused}

Sorry, dude. I heard the first 2 notes and said to myself "That's Roy Buchanan".

Saw him once @ Springfield Symphony Hall, Springfield MA, ca 1975.

Absolutely fantastic.

Roy Buchanan DVD cover by Noë the G and John Peden  By Doctor Noe
Noe Gold
http://www.flickr.com/photos/doctor_noe/

This is some of the copy on the cover of this DVD I put together with John Peden. We are preparing a more extensive "Director's Cut" version including all sorts of guitar-oriented minuteae from the Collector's Choice and Guitar Safari vaults. It will be timed for release this winter in conjunction with an exhibition at the Fullerton Museum Center about the Telecaster.

Meantime, here's this shot of Roy by the great John Peden.

Cheers,

Noe The G

The Roy Buchanan Telly Talk DVD

In June of 1982, I had the privilege of sitting down with the premiere exponent of the blues-drenched Telecaster style of playing as he engaged in what was supposed to be the first of a series of guitar conversations for the video medium. As the editor of Guitar World, I had set up Guitar Galaxy as my own production company that distributed and produced ax-related artifacts such as The Guitar World According to Frank Zappa, The Guitar World According to Steve Stevens and in partnership with Jimi Hendrix's effects guru, Roger Mayer, the Mayer Fuzz Face, Mongoose and other radical devices. the Mayer Fuzz Face, Mongoose and other radical devices.We set up our interview session at Collector's Choice centerfold-meister John Peden's studio and let the tapes roll. Mr. Buchanan was the sweetest man I had ever met. He was somewhat shy at the outset, but then he warmed to the situation and began to noodle around with the vintage Telecaster that was presented to him, showing off some licks and answering my questions about music and guitar lore.

How sad to think that this gentle soul would no longer be with us just a short time later. We honor Roy's memory and pray that he may rest in peace.

I love this comment!  Sometimes a certain song might not be what we individually are into, but the comments from folks who "get it" are always enlightening. Thank you for keeping an open mind and being willing to step outside the comfort zone.  {#Clap} Some wise feller once said, "A closed mind gathers no insight."

RB seemed to be a real musician's musician. He never got the esteem his talent deserved, but it seemed that every guitar slinger worth his salt knew about him. He is surely missed.

I've known about Roy Buchanan for years but not really kept up with his work.  Hear him occasionally on RP, and I thank my luck on those days.  An amazing guitarist.

Got to see him live at the Springfield Symphony Hall, (Springfield, MA) in (I think) late 1975. Small, acoustically perfect venue for around 2,000 people. Mesmerizing.
