You're lucky. He was incredible. I don't think there's anything that compares to "Funhouse". What a loss.

I got to see Roy Buchannon once.

Me too. LOL! It was at some kegger on one of the athletic fields at SUNY Albany in about 1976.

He blew me away.

With all due respect nu, Hendrix was a phenomenon. Danny Gatton was a one-of-a-kind virtuoso. I prefer not to compare these top shelf guys.

I was sifting through the "B"s in a used record shop in Nashville back in the 80's, and came upon one of Roy Buchanon's LPs. I picked it up, shook my head and said aloud, "This guy is such a good player, I wish he would not sing on his albums". I said this to no one in particular. After replacing the album, I look up, and who is standing across the record bin, glaring at me.

Roy Buchanon.
