Boy! the name Roy Buchanan comes up and i get tearee eyed...
saw him a bunch of times and he always tore it upp.
i remember one memorable if memory serves me show at berkeley community 
theatre-place was sold out-no opening band-bands all set up on stage-no 
roy...place is gettin restless...
then from outa the wings w/ his tele over his shoulder and carrying his 
fender amp-it wasnt a twin-smaller-he plugged in and played for a coupla 
hours and it was gut wrenchingly heavenlee-'the messiah will come again' 
was the highlight-it was Twangalishous.
oh, and there was Feedback-wicked!
