Remembering Roy Buchanan plus Introducing Roy Buchanan-bonus

Around 1972 I was fortunate to be playing professionally in Melbourne Australia.
The cover band named 'Cycle'...I was employed as bassist.
The guitarist and Leader of the Band was non other than Mr David Briggs whom later went on to join 'The Little River Band'.
I vividly recall the day David and I sat down to hear his latest guitar Album
purchase's ..
Roy Buchanan and Roy Buchanan's Second Album.


The excited look on Dave's face as the needle on the spinning disk recaptured the exhilarating solo's with the pinched harmonics shear energy and attack executed with outstanding precision as they exploded out of the audio speakers, this will remain in my subconscious for ever.
It still does every time I play these disks ...

'Sweet Dreams' & Tribute to Elmore James's Blues simply floored me...
I went on to purchase every Album release from then on and still have them today.


A great thanks,to Dave who shared these recordings with me back then..
