Roy Buchanan with Johnny & Shuggie Otis

 

Nice that FB, you come across nice videos. Probably footage from a TV special from the early 1970s. A still young Roy Buchanan, a very young Shuggie and Dad Johnny at the piano. Very special because, unlike Roy, there is little video material from Shuggie in circulation
