One thing ole Roy wasn't into was promotion. Kept a low profile, guess he liked it that way. But no doubt one of the greats. A simple man.

So, it's the 'Schlitz' beer that's the secret then. Must get a crate or too. Got the Telecaster but 'Sweet Dreams' just ain't materialising anything like. And there I was prepared to be a teetotaller for life- oh well, we all have to suffer for our art.

I have mixed feelings about this one. Always great to hear Roy, but he sounds bored. The original of this tune has an incredible range of subtlety and finesse. Roy sounds like he's heard it so many times he hates it. I was lucky enough to see Roy at The Performance Center in Cambridge MA in the early 70's. He had a couple of Fender amps on chairs facing each other with a mike between them. At a couple of rows back I still have a part in my hair from that show.

I saw Roy once near the end of his career and sadly his playing was sub par.The room sound was awful and probably had an effect on his performance.I did get a chance to see one of his disciples however-the great Danny Gatton who absolutely blew my mind.As amazing as Danny was however,it is Roy who created THAT SOUND and played with such stunning emotion and lyrical command.I think "Sweet Dreams" is one of the greatest guitar instrumentals ever recorded.

First time seeing Roy in a larger venue was the Warner Theater in DC, circa 76. Roy walked out on stage carrying a Vibrolux (a Schlitz beer resting on top) in one hand and his Tele in the other. He sat the Vibrolux down, plugged in, then cracked his beer open & proceeded to hit the ground running. plugged in & tore into "After Hours". For the rest of the show the audience was eating out of his hands & not a sound was heard for the rest of the night.

It's unfathomable how few views relics like this have in comparison to artists with a fraction of Roy's talent. Roy was and will always be numero uno in my books.
