YouTube Cameo
In around 1972 or 1973, I played at Armadillo World Headquarters with Roy Buchanan. While ego-surfing last night (I do this several times a day), I found this:
Yep, that's me at the beginning of the video saying "Thank you" (I've always been a polite guy) and walking to the side of the stage for a song on which I don't sing.
I can also be seen for a few seconds on the film Striking Distance starring Bruce Willis, which was filmed in Pittsburgh in 1993. I had high hopes that Sony was going to use the song "Eldorado Cafe" in the movie, which we performed live during one of the scenes, and if that had happened, I'd have made a bit of money. But alas, that scene did not make the final cut, although you can see a short glimpse of us if you watch the movie carefully.
However, I don't recommend you do that...

Ego-surfing! So that's what it's called.
I recognize the polite voice on the Buchanan vid, but not the young guy walking off the stage ....
Hey - what's wrong with Striking Distance? It's a fun Pittsburgh movie, and I've watched it plenty of times (though I've never noticed you guys). And now, I'll have to watch it again. I'll do that some rainy day in Pittsburgh.

Nice. But, if anyone has a home video of the KRB at Mancini's or the Eldorado, I'd sure like to see that!
