I was in the studio with Roy Buchanan and Bob Johnston. I was 15 years old. I asked the master of the studio what's up with the Grumpy Old Men. Chris set me aside and told me "Those old men have probably forgotten more music than you've ever heard." Then Chris asked "What's your first responsibility as an apprentice?" I answered "To listen." Chris Hackney looked at me and said "That's right you do as they tell you and stay out of their way and you just might learn something." I didn't say a word from that point on. I set the mics for Dual Soliloquy. They were at Sky Blue Studios in Sonoma California for about a week straight. June 1974 around the same time Roy was recording at the Record Plaint in Sausalito California. Roy didn't talk a lot. He said thank you with his eyes and a nod of his head. Harry Diltz showed up and shot pictures. Being quiet can be very powerful- a sign of respect.. I had no idea who these people were when I met them. Ran into Bob Johnston again in connection with an album entitled Go Cats Go. He was wearing a similar gold corduroy jacket with the leather patches on the elbows. He still had pitted teeth. We were talking about Nashville Skylines. I said that Bob Dylan was so good that anybody could have recorded him. Johnson looked at me and this is what he said. " I did it and I didn't fick it up." I responded "Oh my God that is the perfect answer." We both started laughing because it was the perfect answer- it was a first take perfect answer.

Ephesians second chapter we are saved by grace through faith not by works lest any man should boast. So as long as you hold on to Jesus trust in him you are okay. Regardless of how much wrestling with the flesh you do. My life scripture is Galatians 5:6 the Apostle Paul said the only thing that really counts is Faith working through love. ..Faith in God and love for your neighbor😇✌️🌻

Why jump around when the crowd would, spend time actually playing the guitar. I dont know about you but I dont think Stevie Ray headbanged and jumped around while playing. Though he did the playing behind the back and what not, Stevie was into image to a degree, Roy was into Music.

Roy used a lot of open strings as well, with his solos to exemplify his music in his way. He made the guitar sing, not only speak. Emotion is contextual.

What an intriguing man. He has no expression, his eyes are cold and dead. I think maybe Roy had trouble showing his emotions and so he used his guitar to do it. He makes that guitar cry drops of blood with each ghostly note. Gives me goosebumps throughout my whole body.

@@boydmking1 You might not be aware but "the devil horns", as you call them, was a religious symbol that originated in Europe used to ward off evil. Chances are you are an American, and somewhere in the cultural wars between 1970-1990, you got this symbol confused with it's use in Rock music as something that represents evil.

Mr. Roy Buchanan Lived in the same town as I did in the 1970's Reston Va. I got to see him play the Kennedy Center. If you closed your eyes when he played Hey Joe you would think Jimi was on stage playing. Great does not cover how good he was. Rest in Peace Roy. I pray one day that we get to meet in Heaven. And the Messiah will come again.
