Roy Buchanan was a truly remarkable and gifted bluesman. I first saw Roy on a PBS special that was titled “The Best Unknown Guitarist In The World” in the early 1970’s and he blew me away, a true blues guitar virtuoso!

When I was stationed in Germany, I got to see Muddy Waters and Eric Clapton in a terrific show up in Frankfurt. It was about a year after this video was made. To see these blues greats jamming together was an unforgettable experience! Have a great Memorial Day weekend and I hope you enjoy this […]

No, I’m not going to make the claim that I was at Woodstock to witness this great performance of “I’m Going Home” by Alvin Lee and Ten Years After. I did see Alvin Lee in Germany when I was stationed over there and he did play this great song! BTW, in the beginning of the […]
