Happy Birthday Buddy Guy

Buddy Guy - Born July 30, 1936

A true legend and master, and an inspiration to many a guitarist. I had a blast watching the videos trying to pick something appropriate before settling on this classic from 1981 at the famous Checkerboard Lounge in Chicago. He's got a couple of famous friends up there with him.

Best wishes Mr. Guy.

Well it just goes to show you that there are some truly talented musicians lurking out there in popular bands! It's nice to know that the latter doesn't always preclude the former... It looks like Keith and Ron are having the time of their lives jamming with the Master!

Where was music like this hiding when I was busy wasting my time watching MTV in the '80's...? Ahh, my misspent youth!

Very cool clip!
