roy buchanan - peter gunn theme

You wonder what other music he would have made if he hadn't been found hanged in a jail cell in the '80s.  He's "the best guitarist most people have never heard of".

Two of my friends played (at different times) with him while still in high school. I met him a few times. Came across as shy and sincere. I caught up with Dave on my birthday a few years ago. He played Buchanan and Hooker tunes the whole night for me.

I'm wondering what dirt he had on the Clintons...

That hurt, a lot.

He was damned good! And that brings back memories of a pretty damned good show too!

He played at my college homecoming in 1975 and made me a fan that night. I wore out a copy of Livestock on my stereo.
His song Hawaiian Punch has the same kind of guitar work.

My favorite song for a long time was These Arms of Mine.
