@2Juiceman - as roy buchanan said at the "rockpalast" in germany, "there is no Number 1, but i gotta love you for thinking about it". oh, we definitely do think about it, all the time, roy.

@THEREALD3AL - i saw my idol mid 1980's. i watched every note he played. i was deaf from the speakers by the 3rd song. roy just gave me his sweet, humble smile. he was to play the durham blues festival about 6 weeks later... when i called for tix the booking agent told me roy had been found dead, hanged in his jail cell in wa. d.c. - so, he has passed. watch bill graham's "intoducing roy buchanan" special.

Oh Roy, you beautiful beautiful man. Another Legend taken from us far too soon!

@oloscience - I like Alvin however when you have people like Eric Clapton proclaiming that Roy was the "best in the world" that's hard to argue with. His manipulation of the tone and volume controls that produced the wah-wah effects a decade before the pedal was introduced also his pioneering of the pinched harmonic along with numerous other techniques puts Roy at the top of the ladder with Alvin climbing up but still a long way to go.

@2Juiceman ...the king of Telecaster is Alvin Lee :-)

I still remember the day that the Fairfax County Sheriff's Dept let him hang himself. He was picked up on a drunk and disorderly, was depressed and had a history of mental illness. I guess they didn't know, and he was not on suicide watch. He hung himself in his cell. RIP, Roy.
